After a great deal of thought and years of in-character evolution, at least two confessions and many quiet whisperings .. Infernis and I would like to have our main characters publicly, legally bonded. It quickly came to our attention as we were discussing it that Infernis as a character is not affiliated with any in-game religion and would not - ever - stand seriously in front of a priest or priestess for a religious ceremony.
We'd like to propose a manner of Imperial recognition of bonding without the need for it to be related to a temple in particular.
Suggestions so far have been about the Reeve officiating or recognizing the bond .. I felt as though that was a pretty make-sense solution. I've also thought that others in Imperial employ, such as High Council nobility might be good 'advocates' for this kind of thing .. Even an Imperial secretary.
My main suggestion, though, is that I would love for there to be a kind of Justice of the Peace in the game .. a 'notary,' or officiator of such non-religious yet Empire related business. This doesn't need to just pertain to bondings, if some other need should come up for some kind of seal-given witness to activity or appointment.
Infernis and I would like to open this to discussion and are openly seeking a person who might help us with such a thing if it indeed becomes possible.
Thank you!
