A Scribal Report to Chief Scribe Frederica Ashbury [DM]

[Nevrus]

Dearest, most apt, capable, bureaucraftical, and remarkable Chief Scribe Frederica Ashbury,

I, Junior Scribe Toppoboppo Hoppoloppo, have been commissioned by the most POTENT, HANDSOME, and GENEROUS Former Legate and Ambassador of Kha'esh Argent Argyris, by way of a TREMENDOUS two-thousand dinar Bribe, half of which now lies within our esteemed Coffers as is custom (Praise the Sultan), has made a request of our attendance to his MOST ESTEEMED FACILITIES, that being our Palace's Embassy of Kha'esh.

He has, of course, proffered funding for a renovation of its interior to properly respect his home's MOST ESTEEMED SPLENDOR. He bears, through me, Junior Scribe Toppoboppo Hoppoloppo the Chaotician, most loyal and faithful servant of the Sultan, proud civil servant, and respectable member of the Office of Complaints, a request for these facilities.

He was once, as is writ, known as the Dragon of Ephia's Well, and it seems he lives up to this moniker, for he has fear that his great power over Flame may be the bane of our Palace should proper ACCOMODATION not be made for him. Thus, he, in his great wisdom and most excellent and profound generosity, has requested that we see to coating the walls of the Embassy of Kha'esh, during its reconstruction and renovation, with fire-proof materials, to ensure that any FLARES of his ARCANE MASTERY do not cause undue damage to the rest of our most PRESTIGIOUS, BELOVED, and PATRIOTIC Pyramid, wherein other Embassies, the Legates, and our most ESTEEMED Scribes of the Sublime Garden do reside and do work.

It is my hope in light of this MOST GENEROUS BRIBE that we might find a suitable material by which to fire-ward the walls of this space, of greater SPLENDOR and PRESTIGE than mere stone.

Praise the Sultan Osman VI, Long May He Reign,
Junior Scribe Toppoboppo Hoppoloppo, Chaotician and Complaint Gnome
