Over the course of the past sennights, brooking activities have elicited great concern in Ephia's Well. In a bid to implement stricter laws against brooking, Legate Marcellus Saenus (P.) acted to strike off the existing brooking law. Between that and the Legates raising a new, stricter version of the law, a brooker unleashes a terrible djinn in the Plaza of the Well, and was promptly executed for it. The Scribes of the Sublime Garden urge future Legates to raise the new laws before striking off the old.
