Edict of Bast

The Edict of Bast is the law of the Union of Plort which determines baronial boundaries. It was laid down by Triumvir Bast before her departure, at the creation of the baronial system.

The Edict determines the boundaries of new baronies according to a series of arcane formulae. It takes into account the nation of the new baron's residence, but also places a strong emphasis on historical associations. Somehow, it all works out.
