Justice? Right to free trade? By far this is the most ridiculous
argument to date. No one is restricting your right to free trade. Sell
to whomever you so desire. But if you value your status with Shallam you
should be more careful. Anyone who feigns ignorance of Cain's enemy
status with Shallam should be enemied merely on that foolish statement,
in my opinion. And if you truly did not know then you have obviously
been living under a rock.

It is not a question of Justice. Please, stop trying to make yourselves
martyrs. Its embarassing. Shallam has the right to enemy you for wearing
your pants backwards if they so choose and so does every city in the
world. You have vastly overestimated your "rights" in this case. You do
not have the "right" to traverse within any city you choose, especially
if you are a known liaison to evil. Likewise, the Church may enemy any
who they feel a threat to Good and Light. I suppose it must come as a
slap in the face for those who rely so heavily on blessings to aide them
in their slaughter of the innocent. I can certainly see why this would
make you angry however, I cannot say that I feel even the slightest bit
sorry for you. However, I am sure the Church and Shallam have the
capacity to be magnanimous. Perhaps pay your fine and submit an apology
on the oath that you will never do it again. That would be my
suggestion, though I cannot speak for the Archprelate or the Sultan on
such a matter.
