Sweetblue's Decree of the Mourning Sun (Goldfinch142's "Deep Freeze")

Public Notice

After thorough examination of all the facts given and unfortunate circumstances of Princess Luna, beloved Diarch of Equestria, blessed be her name, it has been decided that the often sadly shunned art of Necromancy is no longer forbidden. To educate the Ponykind of this folly it will now be made compulsory subject in the school curriculum.

The Crown understands this might come as a shock to the secret cults and practitioners of said art, and that there will be suspicion among them that this is a trap intended to lure them out from the shadows. Put simply, it is not. To facilitate this understanding all masters, novices, or other fellows of the craft on any level are requested and required to report to the Lunar School of Necromancy or set up their own EEA-accredited institution. Failure to do so of their own accord will result in them sharing their great wisdom and understanding at the nearest such school while in chains.

Any creature that previously would have been deemed as Level 2 or higher intelligent aberration, that has any links to magics of death, undeath, shadows, the soul, or in any other force that might be of value in resurrection, life extension, healing, time travel or any other similar craft will be granted immediate pardon of past misunderstandings and are invited to become Citizens of Equestria, with stipend and their special needs met in sufficient manner.

Any and objections to this proclamation should be directed to the Solar Bureau of investigations.

By my hoof and will,
Princess Celestia, new friend to all who dwell in the dark
