Euluska City Right of Charter

The right of a city to charter was granted by the Euluskan Empire during its reign from 0-1519 TE. The granting of a Right of Charter essentially canonised a town as a city, giving it more robust powers of local government, the right to raise a standing army or navy, the right to collect its own taxes, and more. It was granted by nobility.
This was interesting, because in Indratera, a city in the Euluskan Empire era world wasn't just based on population, it was officially based on royal assent. So you could have a city like Sedia, which was made a City when it only had a few thousand inhabitants, versus Accipiter, which was never officially a city under the Empire despite having five million inhabitants in 1500.
