The '''Imperial Court of Packilvania''' ([[Packilvanian]]: ''luKhama luShahitishme aBakhilfaniya'') refers to the formal body of support institutions and courtiers of the [[Sultan of Packilvania|monarchy of Packilvania]].

== Harem ==
The Harem is the collective name for the wives, minor children, unmarried daughters, and other people who are formally dependent on the monarch for their upkeep. The Sultana-Consort is the highest ranking member of the Harem and is technically the head of the Harem. In the past, the term Harem referred to the Inner Court of the [[Bingol Royal Palace]] and other formal Royal residences where men (except eunuchs and the Sultan) were not permitted to enter. The term Harem evolved to encompass all of the women and children under the care of the Sultan and under the authority of the Sultana.

The country experience substation religious fervour under the [[Demirite dynasty]] thus the [[Magisterium of Paxism]] took a more stern interpretation of scripture and abolished the office of the eunuchs. Furthermore, there were acts taking place at the Bingol Royal Palace which the Supreme Magister who witnessed them described as "debauchery" (this included evidence of eunuchs wearing feminine clothing etc.). Together these forces led to the Magisterium issuing an edict that eunuchs were against the laws of [[Paxism]] prompting the Sultan to ban them. Eunuchs were given severance payments and freed from Palace duties. Many had to go back into hiding or flee the country for fear of persecution.
===Rules===
The rules are made by the Sultana-Consort in line with tradition, the [[Law of Packilvania]] and the Laws of [[Paxism]]. The Sultana-Dowager took over much of the role of enforcing the rules when [[Mebri]] moved to [[Sultana's Palace]]. However, she cannot make a rule that contravenes the Sultana-Consort.
The following is an inexhaustive rules that must be followed:
Line 44 ⟶ 50:
* If a Lady of the Court is in a vulnerable position, a man shall not look upon her. Even the suspicion of an unlawful look can result in severe punishment.
These rules apply to any official Royal Residence. This includes the [[Bingol Royal Palace]] and the [[Sultana's Palace]]. The [[Sultana's Palace]] has many more rules because almost the entire structure and grounds are an Inner Court and in practice only the [[Crown Prince of Packilvania]] [[Prince Thumim]] and Deputy Crown [[Prince Abuyin]] and their future wives and children are permitted to live there. Some of these rules apply whether or not a Lady of the Harem is physically in the Inner Court of not.
There are some conventions which are not rules but a widely followed due to various beliefs etc.:
