"Take heart - The Courts of Galvia and their ability to cooperate and coordinate with one another will not collapse in the span of a year."
From the Top;
In Response
The Court of Mirrors will be cooperating with the Court of Chains in order to facilitate a smoother legal process involving the ongoing communication breakdowns between the Eyes and the Flames (and the Briars). While there was initial displeasure in how the decree was handled by the Court of Chains (see prior Court of Chains update, circa 1056), Councilor Charlotta recognizes that, until the perpetrators of this sordid affair between the Arcanum and the Artificery (and the Foundry) come forward for judgment, this is the safest response. Whether they will is another matter entirely. Nothing was mentioned regarding the Sarean ban, however.
In Relation
The Court of Mirrors has accepted the Complaint of the Subsurface Courts, submitted by Strici Blesse. A representative of the Court of Eyes is expected to come forward and cooperate with the Court of Mirrors in order to help resolve the ongoing affair. A Judge and Jury has yet to be appointed. All citizens of Galvia; Please expect a Jury Summons in your near future!
In Retaliation
The Lady Speaker of Mirrors would like to remind everyone of their individual rights as Citizens of Galvia. Being physically accosted for your affiliations to another court is considered assault. Attacking someone on sight for their Court affiliations is also not considered a warning- It is considered a felony. And that threatening the life of any Councilor is legally considered Terrorism, which is a capital crime. She hopes that no one will hold this against Councilor Raza Khan, and will continue working with him for the betterment of society. He is free to visit the Lady Speaker personally if members of her court entering his district is obstructing his ability to work. She is, if nothing else, amenable to suggestions.

Developments from the House
After a Meeting in the Parliamentary House of Mirrors, a few new laws, amendments, and Acts have now entered the Review Process. But first, a primer on how decisions are made in the Court of Mirrors:
After a Meeting in the Parliamentary House of Mirrors, a few new laws, amendments, and Acts have now entered the Review Process. But first, a primer on how decisions are made in the Court of Mirrors:
Quote:The Speaker calls the Meeting to Order.
They establish what points are to be raised and by who during the course of this Meeting, in the Agenda.
The Speaker goes through this Agenda, allowing each point to be discussed, amended, struck, objected, or agreed upon.
Once there is a Consensus, they adjourn that subject and move to the next.
Once each point has been adjourned, Laws that require the input of another Court are on standby. The Court of Mirrors meets with the other Court to further discuss this Law, in order to clarify any points of order. If there are no objections, this Law is ratified. If there are, amendments are made, and the Court of Mirrors returns to discussing this with new information provided by the Court officiates in question. This last step is usually prepared for in advance, with discussions between the Mirror officiates and the other Courts happening ahead of time.
If this is a Law regarding the rights of all citizens, such as an amendment to the Court of Law regarding criminal behavior, then it is simply ratified.
The Speaker adjourns the Meeting.
With that out of the way-
For the Court of Feathers;
Noticing a gap in the Code of Laws regarding the worship of anti-Rhystian entities, a motion was passed to add 'Worship of Anti-Rhystian Entities' as a criminal act. Seeing as the Court of Mirrors is not an expert on the intricacies of Faith, however, the Court of Feathers has been invited to expand on the definition of what constitutes worship of an Anti-Rhystian Entity. For the time being;
For All Courts;
Realizing the underlying issue of unilaterally passing bans and restrictive decrees without the Mirrors' hearsay, the Court of Mirrors would like to reiterate;

In regards to the ongoing issue with what the Mirrors call the 'Rogue Researchers' and their treatment of members of the Subsurface Courts, the Court of Mirrors have chosen to ratify the following motion;

For the time being;
Quote:Worship of an Anti-Rhystian Entity (Any sufficiently dangerous Entity with hostile intentions for the plane of Rhyst), is hereby considered a Felony.
For All Courts;
Realizing the underlying issue of unilaterally passing bans and restrictive decrees without the Mirrors' hearsay, the Court of Mirrors would like to reiterate;
Quote:No Councilor may pass any decrees without first ensuring they are approved by the Court of Mirrors. If the majority of sitting Councilors barring the Speaker vote to veto a decision by the Court of Mirrors in regards to this, it shall be vetoed. Within the House Meeting, The Speaker may not vote on this matter. This is more of a reminder, than any real change in the way the City functions.** - as a reminder we do approve of the current bans.
and...
In regards to the ongoing issue with what the Mirrors call the 'Rogue Researchers' and their treatment of members of the Subsurface Courts, the Court of Mirrors have chosen to ratify the following motion;
Quote:The citizen's right to cooperate and act with other members of other courts at their own personal discretion is to be protected and respected, and cannot be influenced by the will of any individual- Including one in a position of power over them. However, in the case of the Court of Chains and Court of Briars, a citizen in service to the protection of Galvia must first clear such intercourt affairs with their seniors, if this agreement or project would interfere with their ability to complete their work. This is a civil right.
In Conclusion
Going forward, in an effort to help establish better lines of communication, the Speaker has announced she will see to organizing a clear line between her Court and the Subsurface ones, so that such matters (like the Blood Drive Project) are more quickly and satisfactorily handled before they balloon out of control.
The Court of Mirrors, as ever, serves its Citizenry first.
