Summary
Although the Cor'Quessir and Cor'Etriel of Osirus rule as a single body, much of the
decision making and administer of its ideological direction and relations
with other Kingdoms are left to the Cor'Etriel to oversee and secure,
while the Cor'Quessir keeps preoccupied with the security of the country
and the vigilance of kingdoms who border the northern realms, Cor'Etriel is
charged with growing the capital in its alliances, economy and
culture.
Province of Lyelath
The following major Cities are under the baronry of Lyelath:
Law & OrderThe city takes a special interest in extraplanar threats and
catastrophe.The Cognitive Bureau specialize in unraveling mysteries around
those who invite evil into the plane and extraplanar entities itself.

conjunction with The Featherlings are called to form a strike team to banish
the creatures. Lastly, the embodiment of the Kings protection, Rhuzger the Iron Golem
occasionally patrols the streets of Osirus as a constant symbol of order,
suppressing any brewing conspiracies in the minds of criminals.
Arcane Licensing
Osirus requires magic-users to obtain a license to practice magic within the city or while representing the city's interest. This ensures that only those who have been trained and deemed responsible are allowed to use magic. Sanctioned magic users casting magic of 3rd level or higher within the city would need to be supervised or acknowledged by a professor or officer of the law for it to be considered lawful. You are obligated to present an authentic Arcane License if requested, failure to do so will result in immediate incarceration within the Tower of Abjuration for a unspecified amount of time.
The application process for the Arcane License involves providing identity, completing a written test on the laws and regulations surrounding the use of magic, and demonstrating proficiency in the magical arts to a board of examiners. Once the applicant has successfully passed all requirements, they are granted the Arcane License which is a specialized feather of an Osirian owl.
The Arcane License must be renewed every year, during which time the licensee must demonstrate continued competence in the practice of magic. Failure to renew the license or any violation of the laws and regulations governing the use of magic may result in revocation of the license and charges.
The Arcane License includes a registry number, which serves as a unique identifier for the licensee and can be used to track their magical activities within the kingdom. Such activities is kept by the Cognitus Burealis using magical avenues to document. This is to ensure that all magic practiced within country is conducted in a safe and responsible manner, and to hold practitioners accountable for any misuse of their abilities.
