Ulor Esinie of Salan Helmarie has issued a provincial decree removing the requirement that employees of the provincial government must speak the Zekresh language.

The Helmarie Ulor's advisor, Gurok, said the measure was necessary because so few people in the province speak Zekresh. "Why, 19 of my own relatives have now been able to get jobs in the provincial government of Helmarie because of this new decree. It was a wise move by the Ulor."

Lord Chancellor Rubanya Cledman has taken notice of the move and is reported to have said, "I've been proposing a similar measure for years, but the Emperor hasn't gotten around to it. If other provinces follow the example of Helmarie, perhaps we can prove the critics wrong and get the Emperor to approve this measure for the whole Empire. It is long overdue. Most of the people in the Empire do not speak Zekresh."

Levorek, a member of the Imperial Council, opposes the move, saying, "Is this the Zekresh Empire or not? If it is then everyone should speak Zekresh. Government officials most of all."

The Emperor was not available for comment.
