Legate Syter

I write to you today to speak of Opportunity, and Prosperity in the future of the Well.

The Canals to the North of the well are one of the most Prosperous trade routes that we enjoy the use of, and yet the Sultan holds them in an iron fist, a manned post sending Tax and Tariff directly to his already overfilled hoard.

To oppose the Sultan directly is a the errand of a fool, and you are of course no fool, but if the control of this post were to come into the hands of the Assembly and the Well, whichever Legate managed to do so would find it quite the Pin upon his Toga, and Additional supplies and Dinars could flow into the city unimpeded by the greed of the Sultan.

I would ask your advisement on how we might facilitate a change in management of these canal posts, and will do what is in my power to see it done in the Name of the League, that credit may remain primarily yours.

My only request, passed on by allies I have gained in the pursuit of this matter, is that should we manage to wrestle control of this econonic boon, is that the newly opened route be celebrated with essential supplies being offered freely or at great discount to the most needy of the Well.

A trivial thing really and quite the Humanitarian effort from Legate John Syter, after the slander thrown against him of late, to help those most in need gain some measure of Independance that they may start to follow the path he once did of hard work and perseverence.

I ask your considerations upon this matter, and wish you fortune in approaching Assembly votes.
As promised upon our first meeting, should I have voice when it arrives my vote is yours.

Regards

My dear friend,

Thank you for your letter. These little notes, thoughts, and ideas from my constituents are what makes being a Legate of Ephia's Well the greatest honour of my life. Friend Ophelia, I admire your ingenuity, but I fear I must put you right.

The Osmani Canal has been in the hands of Baz'eel for a thousand years, or perhaps longer. It was built by an ancestor of the Sultan himself. I fear seizing control of it would be a greater task that we here in our humble Citadel could manage, and perhaps a show of disloyalty to our gracious sovereign, whose name is Osman VI. The Sultan, of course, has a veto upon all legislation passed here within the Well.

However, you are right to see fantastic potential here in Ephia's Well. I shall look forward to recieving further missives upon this topic.

Your friend,

John Syter
