Madam Allegretti,

When we last spoke we were cut short. I apologize for the harsh treatment we endured at the treacherous hands of the Mur Mercenaries.

We were speaking of the Host and what we were about, and I would like to continue the conversation. I was informing you of our code, which acts as a set of guidelines for our members actions. You seemed to find yourself in agreement. I will include the code with this letter, as well I would like to extend the invitation to join us. We could use you by our side in the times to come. Many think the worst is over, with the Regime defeated, but the truth is the worst is yet to come.

We will speak again in person soon. For now, here is the code that I did not have a chance to finish reading to you.

Code of the Sovereign Host 1. A member of the Host works against any who cause harm to Sanctuary, no matter who they are, but is always mindful of the consequences of what they do.

2. A member of the Host believes that all Sanctuarians should walk free of fear, with the right to live their lives as they wish within the limits of the law.

3. A member of the Host believes the rule of law aids peace and fosters freedom, so long as the laws are just and those who enforce them lenient and understanding.

4. A member of the Host does not believe in extremes. No extreme is good, be it a moral extreme or otherwise. For Sanctuary to flourish, there must be balance: a balance of power, a balance of morality and a balance between individuals.

5. Whatever it takes to defend or strengthen Sanctuary, a member of the Host will do. Pride never rules the deeds of a member of the Sovereign Host.

6. A member of the Host believes in compromise. Working with hated enemies can sometimes be necessary to bring down greater threats. A member of the Host acknowledges that living in the Underdark is dangerous and thus, it is sometimes necessary to align with lesser evils to protect Sanctuary from greater ones.

7. A member of the Host polices its own. A member of the Host who hears the call of personal power at the expense of what is best for the city can no longer be a member of the Sovereign Host. A member who seizes power, and holds it above all else, is a traitor to Sanctuary and the Host. Traitors must die for Sanctuary to live.

8. If conflict can be avoided then it is for the best of all. The Host believes in fighting only when necessary or face death as a consequence. This is the way of the Sovereign Host: subtle and quiet, behind the shouting. Guile and intelligence, and the outsmarting of others is the only way for Sanctuary and the Host to survive.

I look forward to our next meeting.

Kedrick Reynolds Commander of the Sovereign Host

Commander Reynolds,

I am not sure what I can offer you as a member of the Sovereign Host that I could not offer as an ally. Obviously, you are welcome to partake of Lurue's healing blessings, and I will provide wands and potions as you need them. As for the offer, I'm not sure I can accept it until I know more about your plans and what is expected of me.

Thank you for your letter, -Frances Allegretti, Church of Lurue

Unicorn Priestess Allegretti,

You can offer us your knowledge and wisdom. Such things are required, perhaps even more so than the blessings you could provide.

The Sovereign Host is more than just an organization; we're a society of like minded individuals bound together by common ideals. I think of myself more as a spokesman and organizer, but our members do as they wish. We come together in times of crisis and seek to organize our efforts.

We are a democratic organization. We have a Council who advises me, and should I - or a future commander - prove unsuited, they may replace me. As well the members of the organization have the right to vote to replace me or another member on the Council.

We welcome all who are willing to pledge to our code. Ultimately, we work toward the betterment of Sanctuary in the best way we can, through whatever methods that we can. Be we politician, soldier, mercenary, merchant or priestess. Everyone has something to contribute.

Kedrick Reynolds Commander of the Sovereign Host
