So as to allay your concerns, Grok, merchants in Shallam are subjected
to the Merchants' Ordinance as stated in post 8383. Anybody who flouts
Part b of the Ordinance faces a penalty.

Shallam abides by Her rules and it's just misconception on your part to
assume She doesn't.

With respect,

Walter Weltsdown,
Chancellor of Shallam

Penned by my hand on the 11th of Chronos, in the year 287 AF.
