Imperial Decree #87: The Order of the Griffin

Issued by Kaiser Wyltheow I

In commemoration of my 100th day on the throne and to honor those foreigners who have in some way aided the Imperial Rebublic and the Kaiser, and who have built up between us a bond of trust and friendship, I have deemed it fitting that the Order of the Griffin be established so that these individuals may be properly recognized, and so that they may be joined fraternally in their spirit of friendliness and service.


This Order shall be established and governed according the following rules of this Decree:

Admittance to the Order of the Griffin is to be limited to those who are not citizens of the Imperial Republic of Shireroth. The Kaiser of Shireroth alone shall be allowed the privilege to enroll persons in the Order of the Griffin. The Kaiser may admit any person who is not a Citizen of Shireroth to the Order if he or she sees it fit to do so, so long as no more than one individual is admitted per month, excepting this, the establishment of the order. The Kaiser may expel any members from the Order if he or she sees it fit to do so. Members of the Order of the Griffin shall not be compelled to swear an oath, nor should any oath or pledge be written. No secret codes or agendas shall be created, followed or permitted. Admittance shall be secular. No church shall have any pull on the Order The first to be admitted to the order are the following:

His Majesty, Emperor Jason of Ascalon: Emperor Jason has been instrumental in helping to forge relations between Shireroth and Ascalon and furthering the Shirerothian comprehension of his nation's government.

His Excellency, Minister Erasmo Jacqueras Carrar of Baracão: Minister Carrar has worked to calm former bad blood between Baracão and Shireroth and took the initiative to propose a treaty between our two nations.

His Royal Highness, Duke Thomas Cutterham of Hanover: Duke Cutterham has done much to further communication between Shireroth and Hanover, and also has aided us in the creation of a heraldry system and created for us a Coat of Arms.

His Serene Highness, Emperor Mik'el Tzion of Attera: The leader of a fellow ex-Tymarian nation, Emperor Mik'el Tzion created the Scheheradze Convention to promote peace, and also served time in Iraq.


Thusly, the Order of the Griffin is established.
