Imperial Records

The Imperial Records serve as the official archive of all national laws, decrees, directives, and proclamations issued by or under the authority of the Holy Empire of Cavlan. Maintained as a matter of public trust, this repository reflects the legal and administrative history of the Empire, preserving every act of governance for future reference, transparency, and posterity.

Purpose and Scope

The Imperial Records exist to:

• Document every formally issued legal instrument—including imperial orders, acts of parliament, and executive directives.

• Ensure the public and government officials alike can access, verify, and study past and present legal decisions.

• Uphold the principle of legal clarity and historical accountability within the Empire.

Each document preserved in the Records is filed chronologically and indexed by its official designation, date of enactment, and relevant governing authority.

Relation to the Codex Legum Cavlaniensis

While the Codex Legum Cavlaniensis provides an organized, systematic codification of active law arranged by topic and title—similar to a legal code—the Imperial Records serve as the historical and documentary foundation upon which the Codex is built. All codified laws originate from instruments stored in the Records, making this archive indispensable for researchers, legal professionals, and citizens seeking to understand the evolution of Cavlani law.
