A Diplomatic Report to Alexandria Sayburgh

[Zambition]

Contrary to some letters and notes, this one carried with it a more pronounced air, and some decorum demanded of a Legate's station.

Legate Alexandria Sayburgh,

I have met with your Co-Legate, Vellyn Lhyrian, and have calmed the protestations against the Absolution, however she requests that we reword the last line of their duties to remove that of implied prosecution and instead seek to imply that the Absolvers are to mete out justice alike bounty hunters, delivering criminals to the Fourth Legion for prosecution.

She also has asked that a position of her own be formed, and she expects your approval. I did not assure this, though, and if the position and its duties facetious then the prerogative is yours to decline her kindly and softly. I know naught what it entails yet.

Furthermore, she has three revisions to the law prepared in the form of Assault, Blasphemy and Brooking. The Assault adds a Serious charge where it is Minor now, and Minor only includes Unarmed. Blasphemy is unknown to me yet, but I surmise perhaps they suggest its removal or major altercation. They claim the Brooking law shall only see clerical changes to ensure accuracy and relevancy. I have the Assault law in paper with her signature, requiring only yours to be implemented.

Lastly, an ultimatum from the First Seat; approve these things, or make reasonable counter-offer (at the very least, give or take some and be open to negotiation), else she has threatened to do what she has already deigned to do. Stonewall all that our League hopes to accomplish, into the foreseeable future.

Should you have proposals of your own that you cannot sensibly see delivered to them, I welcome you to leave them in a cache at the Stockade under lock and key, and I shall see them to the First Seat for discussion. I shall not allow this last month of your tenure before election to find itself stuck in a status quo reminiscent of the Moretti-Komemnos days.

How we proceed from here may very well decide the future of our League.

Your Prelate,

Edmund Lothere
