[A Letter to Sergeant Rennick Colmes]

[Mari]

Sergeant Rennick Colmes,

I write to ask you for you and the Jannisaries to consider supporting my bid for the nomination of the League of Gold over those other hopefuls.

Mark well my service as Magistrate and my efforts in aiding the investigation to root out the heretical. Mark, too, that the other that vies for the Gold- Kythaela- made great sport of seeing how many crimes she might commit when such matters were of a head and is not shy of clashing violently with your numbers. Mark, too, her willingness to grant an unvoiced heretic the honor of a death at the hands of the Lions- something reserved for the voiced- merely for her amusement as it matched her granted title- "The Lion"

Perhaps you yet find her palatable over my Lady, but know as much I am Hers, I am, too, the Well's. Should you grant this further consideration, seek me, surely. I can be found.

Mari Blacke, High Priestess of my Lady Between the Stars
