Editing Jade Imperium (section)

==Legal Structure==
===Leadership===
[[Aurora the Insightful]] is the uncontested leader of the Jade Imperium, though she claims no title other than Archmage. She is advised by a council of other Archmages and seers, including the spirit of [[Segilus the Blind]], who merged with the [[Spellpool]] ages ago and now uses its power and scrying abilities to offer advice and guidance. 

Additionally, [[Baelwren SummerStorm]], herself an Archmage and a [[Wardens of the Tower|Warden of the Tower]], is the Ambassador to the [[Holy Nation of Crescent]], and in charge of the Diplomatic Corps of the Wardens.

===Courts===
In the year 4440 (or 1353 as the [[Holy Nation of Crescent]] measures it), Aurora appointed [[Landor Forester]] Head Magistrate of the Court. Though many questioned the appointment of a strange 16-year-old [[Human]] to be the leader of the legal system of an entire nation, in the intervening years he has gained a reputation as an unquestionably fair and impartial judge, and has revolutionized the administration of justice in the modern world.

===Relationships with Other Nations===
In the aftermath of [[Cometfall]], when the newly emerged Imperium proved itself beyond doubt to be a superpower, the Holy Nation of Crescent recognized its claim of sovereignty and opened diplomatic and trade relations. Both internal pressures from within Crescent and from the Jade Diplomatic Corps (in other words, the husband-and-wife team of [[Sir Jericho Templar]] and Ambassador [[Baelwren SummerStorm]]) led to the legalization of arcane magic in Crescent, and amnesty for any persons currently imprisoned under those laws.

With the signing of the [[Treaty of St. Kerwyn]], the Imperium recognized the independence of the [[City-State of Haven]] and the city of [[Maxaen]]. The Imperium maintains a small embassy in Maxaen. 

As a recognition of the service that Haven provided to arcanists as the destination of the [[Shepard's Trail]], the embassy there includes a permanent branch of the [[College of Mages]] open to all Haven citizens, and an oversized teleport circle enabling instant travel between [[Everlight]] and Haven.
