Welcome to Cove

Dear citizens and guardsmen a like.

It has come to my attention that certain citizens are breaking Covian laws and regulations, using non-descript items without proper licensing and papers, I speak of leather armour, the use of animals in ways of carrying and unloading items. These laws were put into place by the council to ensure only our fine and upstanding citizens and commoners alike have earned these priveledges. Why these laws were put in place was to protect you, the citizens of Cove, so we do not have thugs running wild in the street carrying weapons and armour, threatening and making Cove a place of ill reputation. Same goes for licences regarding stalls, shop deeds, ships, these priveledges have to be earned, and signed by the council. We do wish for our citizens to enjoy Coves luxuries which taxes and the Stewards investments bring, let alone the armies input. However I have, as the bailiff, and my co councilors have seen the laws being flaunted in Cove.

I wish for such actions to be dealt with by the army, small fines, and arrests in turn if such laws are not obeyed. The commander, the steward and myself agree that action needs to be taken on re-offenders, however I hope our fine citizens of Cove will understand that these laws are there to protect you, not restrict you and your buisness ventures. Allowances can be made if you come and meet either the Commander, the Steward, or myself, the bailiff, to discuss payment plans if shillings are low ecetera.

Obey the law, citizens of Cove, make Cove a city to be proud of.

Just to clarify, is not a clamping down on the citizen system, just to add some spark and such to the system itself, making it more of a monitored job ic rather than ooc telling people not to do this and that. So expect as a guardsman to question individuals with rich jewelery and leather armour whom you know are citizens or think so, but whom do not carry such reciepts, can add to the roleplay if you random search folk as per usual giving cove that fine edge it always had! Also for citizens low and high alike, remember it should enrichen your roleplay experience, going around in things you do not own the licence for can be considered illegal behaviour and the guards will deal with it (Depending of course whether friend of foe to your character, common sense applies as per usual) If any concerns over this, please don't hesitate to contact any of the command members, and also if you need clarification on citizen rules ooc and ic be sure to give me a call on icq.
