Character
Emperor Valigard IV
Valigard IV was an emperor of The Empire, who declared the edict widely known as The Sanction. The war among the immortal wizards had been so devastating that fear of magic and mages still lingers throughout the land, and that fear is why the edict was declared.1
The Sanction was enacted in 1203 BVD and remains in effect to this day; the original decree is still kept in the Marble Palace. Under it mages give up all rights that come from their surnames and may not own land, must attend the Archon Academy from a young age, and can be executed without trial if caught without the academy's licence.1
