Apart from criminalizing nobles and treating them equally under the law as commoners, the newly enacted code also revoked many of the privileges of nobles, such as the virgin tax and the right to kill servants. It additionally restricted the personal armed forces nobles could possess, spearheading reforms from the top-down and inside-out.
The changes were too numerous to explain in just a few words. To put it simply, from now on, nobles would hold little actual power, and the rules of society would no longer be dictated by them.
If not relying on the nobles, then who would manage the city? Who would maintain order?
The answer was: the council.
Greywell would form the Fiery Flame City Council, and all officials would be appointed by the council. Everything, from the City Defense Chief and Tax Officer to ordinary soldier captains, would be filled by council-selected members.
