Donum Anima, Donum a Dei

The Edict of the Godgiven Soul (Donum Anima, Donum a Dei) is a Verata bull issued in 2279 ET after the events of The Demon Prince of Khadân. 
* Any soul is a gift directly from God, by their choice and will alone. 
* No mortal can grasp God's wisdom in their choice, so there cannot be general rules wether any sort of entity can be souled or not. No mortal has any right to assume if an entity is worthy of such a gift or not.
* Any entity able to express the desire to be tested for a soul has the unalienable right to be tested for a soul, and to be truthfully attested if souled or not. 
* Any entity prove to have a soul has to be considered a person, with the full consequences legally and morally that this entails. 
* Entities proven to only recently having gained a soul cannot be held accountable for actions they committed while still unsouled. 
This bannbulle cemented and streamlined the process of attesting souls to non-traditional sentients like EIs, Souled Demons or similar. It is often an integral part of the process of gaining Full Personhood Rights. 
Humans, N'Ptalini and Felids are generally considered souled unless proven otherwise.
