A letter from the Royal Family of Trimaris

We’re planning on moving forward with a number of law changes. This email constitutes our formal submission for purposes of the thirty day waiting period. We plan to have these changes read into court at Queen’s Heart (May 10th).

Here is the relevant text regarding procedure in current Kingdom Law:

Here are the changes we would like to make to kingdom law, in the order in which they appear. The new text is in blue and italic font. They are:

Loosen the residency requirement for Crown Tournament.
Add one Defender event per year.
Clarify that sponsorship by Barony or Shire is not required for a bid.
Add a no-compete rule for events.
Clarify that the Queen and Princess may wear an honorary white scarf while sitting.
Strike “administrative” from Order of the Argent Scales to make it a broad service award.
Add a new kingdom honorific award.
Remove stipulation that Orbis Honoris can only be bestowed at Gulf Wars.
Revise sumptuary laws
Adjust word
See text edits attached.
Please have all commentary sent directly to Crown@trimaris.org instead of the comments email.
