Declaration of Rights in the Empire

Emperor Uriel Septim's decree of sentient rights

---

Emperor Uriel Septim's Decree of Sentient Rights,
3E Year 393

It is well known that the prestigous [sic] Empire of Tamriel has been for a long time; the fairest, and most opportunity-giving state compared to any monarchy, or any other nation. Unlike other nations, the empire gives you true freedom in many different ways, and any more suggestion for human rights is simply pompous. To clear any confusion, disregarding the law of Tamriel; this decree will show you all of the people's freedoms.

Economic Freedoms
The economy and property rights within the empire are unmatched compared to any other nation around. The civilized society we have in the empire revolves around its glorious economy, and should be mentioned here.

Freedom of Pricing
Unlike the other barbarian nations, in the empire, you have freedom to own a business, and price the way you wish. Obviously there is a limit, and if we view you are pricing in a corrupt manner, then we will remove your store from the market, but simply price in a normal matter and everything is fine. The empire is also a place where anyone can own their own business, no class is punished from their status here.

Freedom of Ownership
You have the right to own what you buy, and that is solely yours. Nothing, unless it's contraband, can make it un-owned unless sold. Whether it's a piece of cheese, or a home, it is yours if bought.

More Freedoms

Freedom from Poverty
You live in a society where we try our very best to keep you from being impoverished. We have done our job nearly to a full extent. Many of the people in the Empire have basic food, necessities, and shelter to live, compared to other societies.

Freedom of Education
"If you work hard enough, the empire will allow you to succeed." This is the saying that applies to anything within the empire, but even moreso with education. To get an education, you must find a scholar to teach you, or learn at the chapel. Work hard enough, and you may enter the prestigous [sic] Arcane University in the capital. Education can be had, with work.

Freedom of Some Religion
This right is up for some debate if you will, but currently, you may worship anything you'd like, as long as it does not disrupt the empire. This means, no cults against the empire, or something of that nature. This means, daedra worship is tolerated, but not encouraged. The official religion of the empire remains the Aedra and the Nine Divines.

Freedom from Corruption
The glorious empire of Tamriel sheds away any corruption found within. We inspect all parts of the empire, and make sure everything is done accordingly. Should there ever be any corruption reported, simply talk to the nearest guard, and they will have something done for you.

Freedom to Adventure
After reviewing the rights document, you should find the empire is a truly tolerable place to live. The majestic empire gives you true freedom of property rights, and what-not. Yet, what was missing was the true amount of adventure you are entitled to have. We allow anyone to journey throughout the empire to achieve a goal, and in fact, encourage it.

Freedom of Guild-Choice
The empire covers a vast area, and within it, there are various guilds and factions. We allow you to align yourself with quite a few of them, as long as they are not against the empire. A guild is a truly wonderful experience for any Imperial Citizen.

Thus, the Imperial Rights declaration is complete. For any more information, please talk to or send word to the Elder Council.
