Templates for Our Documents

[Casilda Tametomo]

A) This project is in three parts, not fully filled-out, still under construction, and always subject to change in the linked documents.

B) My superiours and fellow Yeomen are invited to discuss the contents with me in our chambers or by PM or mail, as continuing review and revision are necessary and expected.

My Lords and Ladies, gentle and common folk, people of Wessex and Hyperion, to all of you, greetings.

This is an outline in three parts of every kind of document this Duchy and this Kingdom keeps and cherishes, and of the proper and essential format of them, so that all the diplomacy, fealty, dedication, trust, chivalry, honor, duty, responsibility, history, pageant, ceremony, dignity, colour, distinction, information, law, justice, holiness and order we count on them to convey for us to posterity is most carefully preserved--
