Decree XXXX - Concerning Illumination

[Iskander Mirkdale]

By the will of His Grace the Duke of Elwynn, the following Decree be implemented forthwith:

A Decree concerning the appointment of a Count of Illumination

From this day forward, the following is appointed to the position of Count of Illumination:
Jacobus Loki

By the Order of...

[Oroigawa Koreyasu]

*ahem*

40 = XL

[Oze]

XXXX looks cooler, but Corey est correct.

[Jacobus Loki]

The Romans tended toward XXXX. XL, etc., came into vogue later.

BTW, I accept, and pledge loyalty to Duke Iskander.

[Iskander Mirkdale]

Thank you Jacobus, and welcome to Elwynn.

Subtractive notation will no doubt be resumed for subsequent decrees, but as Oze said, this construction does look cooler.
