Imperial Decree #407: Authorising the Construction of the Colossus of Lodis

Ardashir Piroz Aurangzeb al-Osmani-Steffki, by the Kharenah of Zurvan, Kaiser, Khan of Vijayanagara, Earl of Alalehzamin, to his subjects and retainers, greetings, and unto the gods of Shireroth undying and unthinking obsequience.

Know that We, Mibaradardam be Khorshid va Mah Minamaz dadanam Zurvan, have in the first place granted to Zurvan this Ordinance which by his Kharenah is confirmed for us and our heirs forever.

1.0. Regarding the Construction of the Colossus of Lodis
1.1. We do hereby authorise Scott of Hyperborea to commence the construction of the Colossus of Lodis on the west coast of Melangia, at the point closest to Antican territory and in accordance with the exacting technical specifications set out elsewhere;
1.2. We also request that the "Head of Delphi" be specially adapted so as to in effect become a sculpted rotating turret that can facilitate the installation of two ISI patented Laser Cannons in the eyes, so that we might for our own amusement periodically disintegrate passing Republican merchant vessels. This is, we feel, what Delphi would have wanted.
2.0. Enabling Clause
2.1. Any further issues arising from this shall be clarified by Imperial Rescript, deriving authority from this decree.

Signed by my hand at Raynor's Keep, Shirekeep, on this Ifniday the 18th day of Vanchauslurk, in the year MMMDCCL ab sectora condita

[Erik Mortis]

I like the lasers particularly.

[Harvey Steffke]

Oh yes, a very nice touch.

[Andreas the Wise]

Laser cannons in the eyes, what more could you want?

[Erik Mortis]

Flame thrower in the ass? I hear the Antican now wanna make a statue of Scott with one...
