New page

The Benevolentia (The Kindness), is a set of rules established in the 17th Council of Florence, during several secret sessions in 1446. Highly contested by the Inquisition, diplomatic steps had been made towards several important "Otherworldly" entities, which were invited to the sessions.

A major issue had arisen that, while the Church wanted to keep the existence of otherworldly and unholy creatures hidden, except for several factions within, most notably, the Inquisition, most creatures had no interest. In fact, open warfare could allow them to gain or build incredible power. On the other hand the amount of victims and deaths on both sides would be staggering.

So an agreement was reached, most creatures subscribe to this, willingly or otherwise. Breaking of any of these rules could result in Exterminatus by agents of the Church, although for lesser infractions some leniency is expected. A tri-yearly council is held in which grievances and breached on both sides can be aired and resolved.
Agents of the Church found to be in breach can expect harsh punishment, should the

- No creature will overtly expose it's otherworldly nature or powers to "sightless" humans. Similarly no Agent of the Church will overtly expose creatures or their own unnatural powers.
- No magical, or otherworldly powers will be used to interfere in a human's free will.
- No creature will willingly be harmed or harassed, if it has not clearly broken the rules of the Benevolentia. Similarly, no humans may be harmed by creatures unless in self-defence and then only if all other avenues have been exhausted. The response should be reasonable, with the intent to minimize harm to everyone. Exposing one's nature or powers will still be punishable as per the above.
