Greetings,

Just to point out, it's not Manuella's job to keep anything under
control except her own House, and, at least as far as the most recent
deliverance into Shallam, nothing is being abused. If you want to "raid"
my city to kill my citizens, I will ensure that you do not escape
Justice by riding home to avoid trouble when it comes calling.

There is nothing cowardly about that, Shecks, except your own behaviour.
You came in, we came to you, and you ran like a frightened girl. There
were no guards, you were delivered back and killed by four of Shallam's
more alert defenders. To threaten to take this out on Jaruvians is
cowardice in the extreme, and only makes you look further ridiculous
when you relate your perceived wrongs to citizens of Hashan and Eleusis,
too - both of whom have nothing to do with the village of Jaru.


In service, always, and with Valour,

Sir Silas Maynard
Vizier of Shallam

Penned by my hand on the 4th of Daedalan, in the year 437 AF.
