Alabaster,
I am through arguing for New Dunwarren. I am beset by problems at every turn, and I do not have the time or the energy to expend wading through constantly-changing ideas and reneged committments from the various individuals involved-or outright obstinance and idiocy. Attached below is what Azzam wishes passed into law-I suggest you consider it a final and unalterable proposal. Do with it what you will-persuade whom you wish. All that I can do for you has been done; the rest is left to you and yours.
-Lieutenant Sunellar
A document written like this will only deter otherwise-interested citizens from understanding what is to be done. The people of New Dunwarren and the supporting councilors or yourself are free to state your reasons and feelings in a speech. This is what I understand of the arrangement, and what I want recorded as law, with what I will approve of at this time:
1. New Dunwarren is a district of Sanctuary, and recognizes that it is subject to Sanctuary law.
2. The residents in New Dunwarren are citizens of Sanctuary.
3. Current property owners recognized in New Dunwarren will be recognized as property owners in Sanctuary. They are to be reminded they are subject to Sanctuary law.
4. Members of the Greycloaks will be given special consideration for Watch induction.
5. At least one Greycloak-made-Private will be given Leading Private status in the New Dunwarren area; effectively, a Sergeant in his domain and concerning the residents of New Dunwarren.
6. The toll gate will be disbanded; so long as New Dunwarren respects Sanctuary law and remains a part of the town, there will be no tolling of the hill.
7. The existing defensive gates of New Dunwarren will remain in place.
8. With the final approval of the Sheriff, each new-term council will appoint three magistrates who are recognized by the Temple of Tyr as residents of the New Dunwarren area. One of them will judge when a councilor stands trial; if no magistrate can be summoned in a timely fashion, the Sheriff will judge.
A member of the Watch is a member of my Watch. That I accept their oath to Sanctuary is guarantee enough of their status. If they want a Sergeant in New Dunwarren, one will have to earn his rank. My men gain responsibility by learning how to walk the shifting dunes of duty, not kneeling on stone all day.
Azzam
