[A Complaint to the Fourth Legion] PC/DM

[WriterX]

Brave Janissaries of the Sultan's Fourth Legion,

 A complaint has been brought before me, and I feel there is some merit to it, for I am told that a woman, found guilty of assaulting and stealing from Boops Margo, after having spent time in the Stocks, being pelted with rotten fruit and dung, was later brought to our Well Waters to be baptized, in this state.

 I understand the Well is deep, and our waters vast, but if I may put my thoughts into a single statement;

"I'd rather not drink water in which there is shit."

 The concerned citizen, who apparently spoke for our temple of B'aara, said that this greatly concerned the B'aarat. He suggested even that the man responsible for this Baptism be charged with Sacrilege, under our Law.

 I understand this was performed as part of Janissary duties, the woman's sentence as decided upon by Magistrate Armaudi Kavat, but I would ask for a bit more care. Especially if the Baptism is performed at the very heart of our Well, where the water is, in fact, drawn from. I'd rather not want to think of the implications that our people are sipping waters with slight "additions".

 I should not have to mention either how important these Waters are to our faithful.

 Handle this as you deem fit, but I will be keeping my ears open for more such incidents.

Legate Marcellus Saenus   

[Ironside]

Legate,

It was a baptism of pouring, not immersion. 

We would not condone sacrilege.
