Designed in 20 YD by the Fellish Assembly and ratified in 22 YD by the Fellish nobility, the Code of Nobility stands as the first pillar of the realm. All nobles of Swordfell are expected to swear on this Code. It binds all nobles of the realm together into one cohesive and collaborative society. It defines the identity of Fellish and characterizes the Republic of Swordfell. It may never be altered or dissolved and acts as the preserved, fortified vision of the founding nobles.
