Charter of the House of Ayreon-Kalirion

The dominant power of the Southern League, the most populous county of Elwynn. Whoever allowed the Babkhi to settle this close to the Imperial capital probably needed their head examined.

Moderator: (Elwynn) Prince of Elwynn

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

Whereas the imperial and dynastic Line of Ayreon-Kalirion, having ruled, at various times, empires, kingdoms and principalities around the world, has recently been involved in the organization of members of the same Line into a House, with rules and laws governing it;

And whereas The High King's Most Excellent Majesty in the High Council of the Realm in Stormark, on the fifth day of Noatun in the fourteenth year of the Second Viking Age in the Second Epoch of the High Realm of Stormark, created the House of Ayreon-Kalirion for members of relation to the Line of Ayreon-Kalirion in Stormark;

And whereas His late Majesty the Kaiser of Shireroth, then Emir of Sathrati and Patriarch of Ayreon-Kalirion, on the sixth day of Vixaslaa in the year of Norton sixteen-hundred and twenty-one, recognized the Line of Ayreon-Kalirion and defined it by law, also adopting Her late Majesty Kaiseress Isa IV Cassandrae into it;

It has therefore become necessary for the creation of a Charter for the House of Ayreon-Kalirion, so that it may be governed across many jurisdictions as one entity with one set of members.

Accordingly, I, Nathaniel Andre Utas, Emir of Sathrati, Patriarch of the Line of Ayreon-Kalirion, order, ordain and declare:




THE CHARTER OF THE HOUSE OF AYREON-KALIRION


1. MEMBERSHIP

1.1. Acquiring


Provided that a person is (or his or her descendants are) not excluded from the membership of the house,
  • 1. any person descended, whether genetically or by adoption, from the union between Princess Isa of Brookshire (otherwise known as Tuuler Kalir) and Eskender Arsalani Sahib, or
    2. any person adopted into the House by the Emir or the Council of Elders, or
    3. any person having married a member of the House, or
    4. any descendant of a member by virtue of point 2,
are the members of the house. All members have the right to the style, degree and dignity of imperial highness.

1.4. Exclusion


1.4.1. Unmarried, childless members. Any unmarried childless member of the house shall, upon petition to the Emir to exclude him or her from the house, cease being a member of the house following the Emir’s decree effecting the same.

1.4.2. Members of the house who are married to each other, and who have no descendants, shall, upon a petition to the Emir signed by them with the request that they be excluded from the house, cease to be members of the house following the Emir’s decree effective the same. Any subsequent descendants, or spouses, will not have automatic right of membership in the house.

1.4.3. The Council of Elders may on its own motion exclude a member from the house if it is satisfied that the member has put the house in disrepute, or tarnished the house, or acting seditiously and untrue to the house, or performing acts with great ill will toward other members of the house. Such exclusion will also apply to any descendants and spouses of the excluded member, unless such descendants and spouses have claim of membership by other connexion or relative.
