Purgation Mandate

After Honerius and his companions defeated the Beyonders, he decreed that the remnants of the Curic Empire and other civilizations devastated by the invasion to be destroyed as thoroughly as possible. Books were burned or sequestered in the Long Library, statues and monuments were broken, and palaces were plundered of Curic artifacts which were subsequently destroyed. Honerius believed this was necessary in order to give humanity a clean slate and free it from the corruption that allowed the Beyonders entry into the world.

The Mandate also made it punishable by death to study Curic culture or history or venture into any Curic ruins that escaped destruction. This penalty was extended to cover transgressions into Gastok ruins as well, as per the original Mandate, they were close allies of the Curic.
