An unpracticed and deliberate hand.

The Sultan's Peace,

The Garrison would ask your aid in drafting appropriate language for a new Article to propose to the Stele.

We consulted Scribe Bashir, and he noted that the name and language must divert strongly from an unpopular order made by Legate Qari, regarding interference at Assemblies. Let it be so.

A threat to the security of the Palatial Pyramid, made on the bellows, caused its function to cease briefly today, until it was discovered there was no such danger. This and other minor disturbances in the past precipitate my motion here.

We wish this Article to protect Ephia's Well in the Penal Code in these ways:

- To prevent disturbances that would halt or greatly stall governmental proceedings
- To secure the processes of government from being fulfilled
- To ensure all lawful, pious, and required activities of government employees and officials are not interfered with
- To maintain the sanctity and civility of the grounds of the Palatial Pyramid
- To punish those who seek to undermine the above in ways that do not violate the prohibitions currently published in the Penal Code

We do not wish this Article to convey these misunderstandings or similar:

- That the Voiced may not articulate their rights and voices
- That the will of the Legates are not overridden during official proceedings
- That Janissaries not unduly overbear on official proceedings, only persecute those who would threaten the security of the Pyramid's grounds or disrupt the function of government

May Izdu's lamp shed its light on this matter.

The Sultan's Peace, forever.

My Apologies in the Delay in my response, things do take a little time to settle after an election.

Senior Scribe Khatara is correct certainly that we do not wish to bring to mind the ill enforced Laws of the past, though I must note a great deal of the distaste for that particular law was borne of it being misinterpreted by the Legion and charged where it should not have been.

Therefore, I suggest the following wording.

Obstruction: A Person found guilty of Obstructing, Interfering with, Preventing or otherwise significantly disrupting the proper workings and duties of the Palatial Pyramid, its Legates, Its Scribes, or its Proceedings without reasonable cause or with Malicious intent has commited Obstruction. Minor to Serious
Minor: Minor Delays, Irrelevant Outbursts or Disruptions, Excessive Fomentation of Discord, Insults beyond generally accepted norms, Interuption of Private Meetings, etc
Serious: Significant or Impactful Delays, Signficant or Total Prevention of Duties or Proceedings, Inciting others to Serious Obstruction, Any Minor Charge commited with the intent to commit or in the course of committing another crime, etc

I believe this broadly covers most non-Treasonous but still impactful matters that plague the Government at this time, while Allowing the Voiced to ensure that the Assembly is not an entirely dull affair. If their additions, Interuptions, etc are Relevant or Nessecary then there is of course no crime.

This is of course a first pass, and I shall happily offer revisions should such be required.
