Writ of Procession

The Writ of Procession is a document set forth by the Founders themselves as an inalienable outline of what essential rules and decorums should be followed in the conduct and operation of the academy. Like the age of Scholomance, the age of the document is unknown. The document itself is, like the black school of magic, a work of mysticism in and of itself. At first glance the Writ of Procession appears to be scribed in an unknown language, however when an attempt is made to read it, regardless of the native language of the reader it is entirely legible. Due to the nature of the document several attempts have been made to transcribe it into various mundane languages, each attempt producing slightly variable results wherein the core concepts and ideals of the document remain the same; however the verbiage often changes.

Transcriptions of the Writ of Procession have appeared in prose, analytic, and esoteric presentations. Most precariously, the exact verbiage often appears to reflect the understanding of language held by the transcriber at the time, resulting in the document being readily modernized to include terms commonly accepted by current populations. The only consistency seen in all transcriptions is the use of the term "the tower" to refer to the academy of arcane arts.

Despite the age of the document, those who have read it often deduce that the Founders must had a good understanding and concept of the diverse scope of cultures within the world at present and the world to come. The Founders establish their intentions for the school via a series of edicts and proclamations depending on the transcriptions particular authorship. Each edict consistently conveys the same core information, resulting in meta-analyses being used to examine the edicts across transcriptions to seek the ultimate purpose and messages.

### The First Edict

> *No cultural, national, imperial, nor dynastic creeds, ideals, or notions shall be suffered to hold sway or influence over the essential conduct and expectations of student and staff identity. Let no rule, written or otherwise, be laureled upon merits absent falsifiability. Let all notions which rest at the heart of the culture of the tower be drawn from the heart of human truth and purpose. Let no body of power or state benefit at the cost of the tower. The tower and all such institutions that might operate in the shadow of the tower shall serve in submission to no bodies outside of itself. The sovereignty of body and mind of the institution shall remain absolute at all costs.*

> * The First Edict, known as the *Proclamation of Form* establishes cultural isolationist and non-involvement policies for the academy restricting the academy from politically aligning with any nation, serving any national interests, or adopting social and cultural trends, fads, and social movements from any nation into its own policy.

> *Let all who grasp the arcanums be shaped by the tower; let not those with gifts of power go forgotten. Welcomed are the learned and learning to rest and seek succor within the tower. Let no barrier be erected restricting the meanless from rightful attendance. Let those of learned being who take of succor make all due and dutiful efforts into invest into the halls the keepers of secrets.*
