Sergeant Fellstar

Sergeant,

You were not the only of your rank to visit last evening. And others of the Legion have reached out. I share this not to betray trust but to offer a soothing that you are not alone. It is easy when the burden of duty upon your shoulders to feel alone in this world.

When men and women seek you only in darkest time of distress, or in the throes of political machination. That by each day it stops feeling they see you even as a person - but as a uniform behind a desk. They stop asking how are you, they stop asking your interests, they demand only your time. Your time to serve them. How you may aid their league, their next Legate run, their next business venture, their next report of the malignant brought upon them, their next lodged complaint. No longer do they ask you to join them in Mizzar, or in meal, or in even celebration.

For both you and the women and men charged to you, you must find something. A recourse to see you grounded. Be it a hobby you partake of weekly, be it scholarship, be it something so simple as a journal kept in your footlocker. Something. Anything. The worst thing you may do is succumb to the mantle.

For in such a thing as they only see you as such, so too will you in time only see yourself as such, and callous take root.

This, in part, why it was imperative I step away from my station as Magistrate. For there are many other Magistrate to sit in the Hall of Jurisprudence. And any may be raised by Legate to fulfill such a duty.

I am here though, as needed, to you and your men.

Be it something so simple as enjoying some time together to speak - as we did and you wished more of, or we may break bread and dine to help keep your feet on the ground, or we may talk of hobby and more that you can pursue.

You may share this missive likewise, with Sergeant Reyer, if you so desire.

I have not come to know the man as well as I have yourself but these offerings I make to any of the Janissary's rank.
