Makhyoon Yaawar Al-Khalhid,

Beloved faithful of the wheel, proud servant of our faith....

Seek me in the coming days so that we might align ourselves, seek me so that her sable cloak might shield you from the corruption that weighs down upon your efforts, seek me so that we might cast aside the wicked and obliterate the heretic.

Edmund,

The choice was no threat upon your life, but more of one against your dwindling integrity that crumbles beneath the weight of what I thought to be lesser men than yourself. You have outcast me and slandered me in countless private chambers over the murder of someone in which I had no involvement, and now you ask me to give you praise so that you might join the Banda Rossa? I should hope that you can see the irony in this. Will you act the same way when the contracts you are bound to lead down similar paths?

You will receive nothing until you clearly correct the statements that you have made against me, and furthermore elaborate upon whatever treachery and schemes the Lieutenant Colmes put you up to from within that garrison. Should you remain unwilling to fix your errors and openly admit for your mistakes that boiled over from these private meetings, then you are not deserving of anything at all.

[Be assured, I am quite able to read.]

To the Most Serene and Erudite Representatives of the Sublime Garden,

Your words, resplendent as the banners of the Eagle Chair itself, reach us in their full opulent measure, enrobed in the silken folds of guidance and tradition. It is ever the fortune of those who dwell beyond the gilded spires of Baz'eel to be illuminated by the wisdom of its stewards, and thus, with all due reverence, we accept the touch of your paternal hand upon the trembling shoulder of our humble experiment.

The weight of your counsel is felt, as is the gravity of the path you urge upon us. The Legatine Council, in its wisdom and with all due ceremony, shall see to it that the will of Ephia's Well is voiced in accordance with the highest standards of diplomatic virtue. A summons shall be extended to the Envoy and Ambassador of Kha'esh, delivered with words as measured as they are unassailable, etched upon parchment that bears the weight of our station.

They shall come before our Assembly and stand beneath the gaze of Ephia's Voiced, where the matter of Arslan's governance shall be made plain to them. With courtesy honed to a sword's edge we shall declare our position that the land they till is not their own, and that the wellspring they have sought to claim flows not for them, but for the sovereign hands of Ephia's Well. This shall be done openly, as you so eloquently prescribe, with all the conviction of those who speak not in whispers, but with the measured cadence of those who have already decided.

Know that our words shall carry the weight of iron without ever striking the anvil. The resolve of Ephia's Well is no storm upon the horizon, but inevitable like the rising of the wicked idol of Pra'raj.

Thus, we walk forward, burdened by the mantle that has been placed upon our shoulders, but unbowed. Let this be known in the halls of Baz'eel, where the wheel turns and the Mother watches.

In firmest resolve, under the Grace of Civilization,

Legate Alexandria Sayburgh



Postscript to the Most diligent and decorous Chief Scribe Ashbury:

Be assured, I am quite able to read.

Scribe Haknar,

Funds were transferred to your accounts a day ago. If there remains a problem, seek me out.

Out of town 21st - late 23rd/24th depending.

Edmund,

Now is not the time to crumble to a little pressure from a scorch addict. Stand up strong and remain pure to the cause of the people.

*Recieved*

Absolver,

Keep your weapons low inside of the citadel walls. If there is a crime within, seek the Janissary for aid. Beyond the walls and beneath the Mother's sable cloak, bring forth your justice or absolution, as necessary.


Secondly, did you find out much from Mazeed? I did ever want some information from him.

- Alexandria

Absolver Mansur,

Fret not over this little games played by my counterpart. Your brilliant work is a shining example of the Absolvers and their worth to this citadel.

-Alexandria Sayburgh

Don't nerf, make other songs on par :)

Beloved Mirielle,

We should speak somewhat urgently.

-Alexandria

Impressive, Lieutenant.

-Alexandria

What wriggling worm has slithered a passage into your brain?

Find me, soon.

-Alexandria

Beloved Edmund,

Your ambition is ever inspiring to me and your methods to spread ideas to many other minds so that they might be molded and shaped is admirable. You and I shall speak in person concerning the tower and the garrison, for to put to paper would require a lengthy thesis that might admit me into a college in Baz'eel itself.

As for your dreams in the Palm Heights, we share them but must ever remember that destruction for the case of creation is a wicked game. Might I propose, instead, that we seek to provide funding for specific individuals who aid us in our cause and that of the refugee, who in turn occupy and begin to build a culture there that we are ever seeking to implement within all peoples of the citadel?

For example, a foreman who can now become a citizen with some of our aid, who in turn assists some of his workers by providing bunks and a stable but temporary home. He in turn shall accept the gifts bestowed by us, that great opportunity, and then share in the same way along the rivers of desire. This hope and kindness would then spread like the antithesis of the gold league itself and purchase much for the league of white.

What do you think?

-Alexandria

Beloved Apothar Azimi,

I am sorry to hear that you believed I considered you an enemy of the Priory, for I never did. Surely some whisperer in your ear mislead your thoughts. I consider the tower our primary center for advancement in knowledge and for breaking through barriers otherwise considered sealed. It is by your hands that Ephia's Well shall become an advanced society, after all.

As for your second matter, I do greatly appreciate your advice and shall ever consider these words while I remain Legate of our citadel.
