A letter to Legate Sol Auk

[Blue41]

[Promptly delivered to the Stonefolk's desk by way of the Janissary guard with the rising sun.]

Legate Auk,

I've considered it, and would be amenable provided these conditions are met:

The accused confesses to their crime before the Legates and Fourth Legion representatives in a closed hearing.

The accused turns over any articles, tomes, tools or devices recovered from Mendista's corpse to the Fourth Legion specific to his alleged crimes--"voyaging to Qa''im".

An offering to Urazzir the Wroth of three thousand dinar or its equivalent in goods and sundry.

I will be available to discuss this further if needed.

A scribe riddled with beads of sweat delivers a response

It is done and has been announced.

Ready your men to receive her -outside- the Gate of Coin, so she may formally declare her surrender before being escorted into the Gate of Coin and Ephia's grounds.

It is unknown if the Astronomers, the Cinquefoil, or other may seek to interrupt her arrival in transit but you have ever been one for preparation.

So you are not blindsided by outcome - you have said 3,000 dinar or equivalent. If not goods and sundry, Information and Evidence is a matter Sol Auk would weigh of value potentially.

This evening Sol Auk will arrive before the time that you may see him and a Scribe of the Sublime Garden to the chambers beneath the Garrison and he shall there enjoy some water and tend some paperwork while you and your men acquire and deliver the accused.

Dictated but not read, cordially translated for expedience.
