It has come to my attention that people in this glorious province of the world has, since the days of Ardashir the Tyrant, lived in slavery, thraldom and indentured servitude. This is evil and wrong.
When Elwynn was part of the Hurmu barony, the Brida was introduced to Elwynn. The Brida stipulated that all children of Ash and of Elm are equal.
Certain families, often of Ardashirian origin, disregarded the Brida and law of life. They must be punished.
It is hereby declared and enacted that:
No person nor animal may be held in thraldom, slavery or indentured servitude. No living animal nor person may be owned, sold or bought. There may be no trade with humans or animals.
All persons who have been in thraldom are entitled to compensation from their former masters amounting to freedom and 10 Shirerithian erbs for each hour of work, and 100 Shirerithian erbs for each day in thraldom.
Those who have disregarded the Brida and the law of life will be punished to pay, for each animal or person ever owned, 10 000 Shirerithian erbs to the ducal government. The money will be used to put uneducated former slaves in education and projects to enhance their wellfare.
Let it be so.
