Decline in Marked Mage Registration

The Imperial Watch and the Imperial Office of Census and Excise are reporting that the number of undocumented Mages coming forward to register and take the Mark has declined since the Crown Regent brought the "Northreach Mandate" into effect.

Those who may have been thinking about taking the Mark, it is believed, will now no longer do so until the Northreach confinement comes to an end, instead remaining incognito in order to retain their freedom of travel around the Empire.

Though it is expected that those who are knowingly undocumented will most likely take the Mark once the Northreach situation is resolved, some damage to the acceptance of the Shadow Amnesty will be unavoidable, but not irreparable.
