Declaration of Independence

Inhabitants of Vvardenfell! Commoners and nobles! Velothi and outlanders! By the Grace of ALMSIVI, Lords and Rulers of All, the following decree by the honorable Serjo Drodendos Nithdu, the leader of our revolution and the commander of the New Dunmer Army has been hereby enacted:

His majesty, Uriel Septim VII, seeing that the people of Vvardenfell are not satisfied with their role in the Empire, which was demonstrated in the recent revolution against him, and considering the demand by the Elder Council that the Legions should be redistributed among the other provinces of Tamriel, has agreed to revoke The Armistice, and to work together with the revolutionary government of Vvardenfell to redefine the island's role in the Empire.

The Fighters' Guild may operate freely in the Vvardenfell Free State, as their leaders expressed their intention to help the government fight against the Imperial organized crime faction named Thieves' Guild.

The Emperor agrees that he has no right to collect any taxes from the citizens of the Vvardenfell Free State, besides customs, in case they enter the territory of the Empire with certain items.
