[A letter for Legate Dante Moretti]

[cmenden]

Dear Legate,

I appreciate your desire to give the Astronomers a chance to prove ourselves to you.

However, that particular law has gone wholly unenforced by the Janissaries. I consider it a failed experiment that I have long since mined all intrigue and amusement from.

Sign her paper, but do not do so for free.

Ensure you get something extremely beneficial to yourself from her before she leaves office.

Regards,
Estellise Azimi

Astronomers,

In less than two hours, I have an appointment within the Chamber of Rule.

If this is the only letter I've received by the time I attend the Chamber, then I will consider this to be the official position of the Tower of Q'tolip.

If you mean Fiordelise, she has the encumbering distinction of being apprenticed to Apothar Estellise Azimi, who is herself the author of this seemingly uncontested declaration.

If you mean Estellise, ...

MORETTI

[BigCook]

I shouldn't waste more ink on the convinced, but I would expect you to recognise opportunity.

Then again, I can rely on you much better to sieze the short-lived satisfaction.

APOTHAR STERN

[Sunburst]

Apothar Stern,

You know what I want, and it's not coy intimations.

I'm asking for a promise.

This is one last chance to promise me that you will stand for me. Boldly. Daringly. Fiercely.

And if you can do that, I will take you at your word, whatever that word is worth to you.

And you'll have mine.

MORETTI

[Sunburst]

Astronomers,

As personal favors to Selwyn, Mae, and an undisclosed third individual, who have each made private appeals on this topic, I have declined to co-authorize the law presented to me.

Dear Legate,

Being able to see the future is a remarkably useful skill.

Regards,
Estellise Azimi
