In recognition of the wise people of the Lower Elwynn, who, in loyalty to Us and in opposition to the criminal state who opposed Us, did offer to Us the ducal crown over the lands of the mouth of the River Elwynn;
And whereas the lands of the mouth of the River Elwynn were, in the years of Our father, Ayreon the Fourth of Blessed Memory, governed as a constituent territory of the Imperial Republic of Shireroth;
So too shall these lands be governed, in the manner below prescribed:
- Those territories designated under Our decree, Protected Status in the Lower Elwynn, are reconstituted as the Duchy of the Guttuli, under the benevolent rule of the Golden Mango Throne.
- The seat of the Duchy of the Guttuli is the City of Lachlan.

- Avel Bakkan is appointed Lord Lieutenant for the Golden Mango Throne to the Near Guttuli, consisting of that territory of the Guttuli located west of the River Elwynn.
- For the future governance of the Guttuli, a committee of delegates, representing the stakeholders of the Guttulinese population, shall convene in Lachlan with the purpose of drafting a basic law for the Duchy. Each of the four districts, as organized before the establishment of the Duchy, shall select four delegates. Each of the minority populations inhabiting the Duchy, specifically the Lunatics, the Aryashti, and the Laqs, shall also select four delegates, in order to adequately represent their particular interests.
- Said committee shall be co-chaired by the two above Lords Lieutenant for the Golden Mango Throne in Our name.
- The committee shall present to Us a final draft by the end of this year for our consideration.
