Major laws of the Hofferson Empire

Imperial Ban – Eldritch Technology

Type: Decree / Legal Background

By decree of the Emperor and the Archmage, the possession of all Eldritch technology is strictly prohibited. The Inquisition classifies it as a crime and will result in immediate seizure, investigation, and sentencing. The ban was not based on religious grounds, but as a decision of power: only the Imperial Mages and the Imperial Fleet can use it to maintain their military superiority.
