[identical letters are delivered to each of the Sanctuary Councilors, the penmanship sharp and the parchment folded neatly]

Esteemed Councilor,

My name is Saesmed Isepritau. Upon entering your fine city, recently a fortunate escapee of slavery due to the admirable exploits of the Seekers, I could not but help notice that my ancenstry means I can not become a citizen. Indeed, because of events not of my own making nor choice, I can be killed in the street like a dog, or near enough as it makes no matter.

With all due respect, I must politely ask that I am made a citizen. Yes, infernal blood flows through my veins. Its a cruel fate I've had to endure since my inception; I'm well accustomed to it. In any case, I feel compelled to present my case for full citizenship.

Your law is perhaps a prudent one, especially at on a blanket level. I see the wisdom in such a law and respect the reasoning and people responsible for it. I must be adamant, however, that I am neither a slaver nor a monster. I have strange features, uncommon to your sight, I'm willing to bet, but then, why, one must ask, are those of celestial blood exempt from the blanket law?

I humbly extend an invitation to meet me yourself, at a time and place of your own choosing, so that we may converse more on this issue which so troubles me.

Best regards,

Saesmed Isepritau.

Dear Mister Isepritau

If you wish to be a good citizen of this fine city, i would suggest making a case to propose to the council, such as the benefits we would gain by making you a citizen and such on and so forth.

If you wish to discuss this matter further, please dont hesitate to ask.

Yours Faithfully

Frum Highill

[another copy is sent to each Councilor, save Highill, who receives the following reply:]

Councilor,

Your prompt reply is well received.

Being a newcomer, I don't have any sizeable list of epic exploits that have benefited Sanctuary as yet. I have to say, the main reason I seek citizenship is so I'm not killed like a beast in the street for no purpose other than blood or greed. As such, I formally request that the Council puts up for deliberation partial-citizenship for myself, in which full Sanctuary law is applied to anybody that seeks me harm. For now, I will be content with this. The matter of full citizenship can enjoy a distinctly more leisurely course.

Regards,

Isepritau
