"What will happen when someone losing a fight—not dying, but awfully close to it—ducks into a safezone hex before they fall?" Gloomy sighs. "I'll tell you what'll happen: the other person will finish them off, the Council will squabble, and everything will fall apart."

[star2wars3]

An interesting problem with an interesting solution. With the combined strength of the council it should be possible to create a kind of feild which prevents mages from entering a given area while in battle.

Correction: the victim will be asked to leave, refuse, and then after the fight, whoever's left will be asked to kindly keep their conflicts out of neutral territory. These boundaries aren't as rock-solid as you think, Gloomier.

"If they aren't rock, they might as well be glass, for all the durability they'll hold." Gloomy gives an exaggerated sigh. "But it's better than nothing, I suppose. I agree to this set of rules, flawed as it is."

"Whatever, someone will destroy this agreement eventually. In time, all becomes dust. Hopefully I'll live long enough to see it."

"Indeed. We will try to settle such disputes in as reasonable a manner as is possible, although the mages of the Tower will ensure, as peacefully as is possible, that no battles are brought within our gates."

"Though it is not yet a concern, I would argue that an additional provision is needed:

Article 6:
When a group of mages creates a major structure, it is considered to be under the jurisdiction of said group. They may govern it according to their own laws, and may choose for it to become a neutral hex, with all the protections such a label entails. In addition, large-scale attacks (including destruction or hijacking) against major structures are prohibited without just cause."

"This is an interesting proposition, and one which merits further thought. Laws must be enforced, and a creation designed to automate such duties, and to improve our ability to respond in the case of an emergency would be incredibly useful."

"Seems mostly reasonable so far. I officially declare my tree a neutral zone."

Some more essences.

"If they get to govern it, they can't also declare it to be a neutral hex; what if they use it as some sort of warbase? No, that rule will need nuance—but with nuance comes loopholes, and with loopholes come abusers, and with abusers comes diplomatic armageddon."

Doktor Diabolical:

"So... what's this about laws? Such a thing would interfere with my diabolicalness..."

Doktor Diabolical frowns at the screen, then gets back to work on his... shoe boot skate things. Refinement ho. 2 +1 POT essences, 1 +1 CMP essence, 1 chaotic +1 CMP essence. Assuming he isn't in danger after that, he makes 3 robots essences. If he is in danger, cubebots and attack drone counterattack.

GM: I'm fairly sure I should be on magical fallout(?) hex on southeast where I appear to be. So that in mind...

Southwest one, place totem (+1POT), southeast one, place another totem (+1/+1).
