Atys'ata, highly respected members of the Circles of Jen-Laï!
Please let us use this notice board of your city to discuss matters that concern all of the cities of amber, so that we can reach decisions together faster than by waiting for the next date/s of the national Assembly of the Great Circles of Zora.
As I sadly cannot speak nor understand the dialect of Jen-Laï I am forced to use the dialect of Min-Cho. If one of you would please be so kind to translate my open letters into your own dialect this would be most appreciated! Thank you very much in advance.
1) Academy at Zora
The Circles of Hoï-Cho have suggested to build or rather establish an Academy in Zora on Pluvia 6th in the 2nd cycle of 2571 (OOC: January 7th 2013). An official petition for this was filed by the Circles of Hoï-Cho on Fallenor 16th in the first cycle of Atys-Year 2572 (OOC: March 1st 2013) since there has been no time left to talk about this topic during the first Great Assembly of the Circles in Zora.
If an Academy for the Zoraï Nation is established it might not be accessible for commoners, but only for scholars of the Witherings that we Circles could contact by writing to them and inviting them to our Assemblies and Events. We hope that the honored members of the Circles of Jen-Laï as well as of Min-Cho will comply with this petition of Hoï-Cho? Please tell us what you think about building / establishing an academy for the Witherings in Zora. Do you wish for this as well or would you rather vote against such a petition and project?
2) official/public institutions/buildings in the Witherings
The Circles of Hoï-Cho have asked the Dynastic Circle about what kind of public/official institutions (and/or buildings) do actually exist in the Witherings (especially in the cities of amber) and who the respective contact partners for these institutions will be for us to write to or invite if needed. After receiving the answers to this question we will of course inform the Circles of Jen-Laï and Min-Cho about all of that.
3) burial-rites of the Zoraï
During the talk about this topic we realized that we could not find any old documents about the official burial-rites of us Zoraï or especially the cities of amber. I, Zhoi, as a representative of the Circles of Hoï-Cho politely ask if you might know about the burial-rites of us Zoraï or if you maybe even know of an official document about these rites, and would be so kind to let everyone know about them?
Many consider the wooden commemorative stones close to the Kami-Altar in Zora to be a cemetry, as well as other identical sites in every city of amber. It is unknown how many dead Zoraï are actually buried there though, or if the "graveyard" might merely be a memorial dedicated to certain important individuals - or maybe something completely different. The Circles of Hoï-Cho have asked the dynastic circle about this. We will of course let you know their answers after receiving them in the future.
4) official law against dealing with Goo
The Circles of Hoï-Cho have suggested to phrase an official law against the handling and selling of Goo in the Witherings. As some homins might think it is already widely known that we Zoraï have been chosen by the most respected Kami to fight against the goo, others might in fact not know - especially refugees and tribes from other countries. It would be fatal if they got the wrong impression that (because of four tribes dealing and even experiementing illegially with Goo in the Witherings) it was permitted to let's say consume Goo-drugs or the like in the cities of amber.
In the past a law like this was outlined already; I would like to translate it to the dialect of Min-Cho to first let all representatives of the cities of amber decide about the wordings before officially filing a petition for this law and send it to the Sages. The draft could be phrased like this:
The Theocracy of the Zoraï hereby forbids the production, use, unauthorized possession, import, export, trading/transfer, advertising/offering as well as non-reporting the knowledge of such illegal deeds of all kinds of objects, item-parts, fillings or components and the like, that are mixed, filled or processed with Goo of any kind in the Witherings.
Especially weapons and munition made with or from Goo are striktly forbidden, as well as any kinds of drugs made of Goo. Any counteracting will lead to a court proceedings and will be punished severely. Any findings of Goo-polluted objects, item-parts or the like (especially weapons and ammunition) in the Witherings has to be reported to the officials of the cities of amber as quickly as possible. Trusted scholars can ask for an official permission to scientifically research Goo and will be advised to use utmost caution; not least because of the danger of Goo for their own body and mind.
It is not forbidden to harvest Goo of any kind to destroy it, but on the contrary: this is very welcome and we encourage every homin to do so as often as possible. Goo and Goo-polluted materials should otherwise be delivered to officials in the cities of amber and not be used to produce items like equipment nor weapons. Dealing with such materials to make profite is definitely forbidden.
The Theocracy of the Zoraï wants to remind all Zoraï and Initiates that the most respected Kami have chosen us to fight against the Goo. Please remember this duty as often as you can and let the officials of the cities of amber know if you hear of dealings with Goo wherever on Atys. Thank you.
(OOC: please note that the handling of Goo-mission-materials and even Goo-polluted animal-loot is not forbidden RP-wise. Some Goo-polluted loot might be used for crafting - since the products are not specifically labelled as Goo-polluted, you won't have to fear of getting "in conflict with the law")
What do you, respected representatives of Jen-Laï, think about this? Do you wish for a law like this and if yes, then what would you like to have mentioned (or not mentioned) within its text?
part 1/2, to be continued...
