This is the precise arrangement, available from the Office of the Herald after a somewhat surprising ceremony in Town Hall involving the public resignation of Lieutenant Sunellar and an "assault" on Councilor Nikitovich...

Sanctuary hereby annexes the boundaries of the Spellguard Magocracy; the Spellguard as a sovereign entity dissolves. They will be responsible for tax collection, under minimal Watch supervision, in their former territory. 1% of their revenue will go to Sanctuary's administration, and 1% to the Watch. The rest funds the Spellguard.

The Order of the Spellguard's mages will be in the employ of the Sanctuary, under the direction of a Commander and Senior Officer.

The Spellguard is charged with maintaining a minimum of two animatron defenders at the main gates and a minimum of two animatron defenders elsewhere in Sanctuary. Additional available defense constructs may be assigned by the Sheriff or the Council as needed.

The Spellguard is responsible for the enchantment of government equipment, the wards within Sanctuary, and the reactivated defenses of Dunwarren.

The Commander, Senior Officer and the Sheriff have the authority to extend and withdraw arrest powers to and from Spellguard mages. The Sheriff's authority in this is greater than the Spellguard's. All subjects of arrest are to be sent to the Watch House. Records of arrest are to be immediately available to the Watch.

Mages of the Spellguard will be appraised of magical criminal activity within Sanctuary and may capture the suspects of a warrant, to turn over to the Watch.

The Spellguard may gather evidence and write up a warrant, to be posted in the appropriate bulletin by a member of the Watch; subjects of such warrants may be prosecuted by the Spellguard at the mage's request, prior to capture.

So that the Spellguard may better uphold its charges, the following shall be made law:

• Obstruction of magical or mechanical research (In a pre-existing or Council-approved government project) Serious Crime
• Inappropriate use of magic (Outside Spellguard wards and/or without Spellguard registration) Minor Crime
