On The Declaration of Rule

Selby,

One would need a legitimate signature in hand to compare it to in order to determine if the handwriting is a forgery or not.

It would seem, from the suggestions gathered here, and from the information you've all so far given, that we must be cautious in how we proceed.

I would agree with the fact that someone with a sharp eye for documents and forgeries thereof should look over the parchments to see if any of the signatures are indeed forged.

I would also agree with Cara that we should look into the backgrounds of those involved. I would also surmise that they may have backing from other in positions of power who were too cautious or cowardly to sign the document along with their co-conspirators.

Until we do this, moving forward with confronting the individuals listed to ascertain their reasoning would be foolish. If they have indeed turned on us, then approaching them would either be the perfect catalyst to sew more misinformation or add fuel to the fires of war we are attempting to snuff out.

We are being watched, Travancians. By forces conspiring against us, yes, but perhaps more importantly by the people, not only of Kormyre but of all Arawyn. What we do here may shift how we are perceived by others. We cannot continue to call ourselves Heroes of Travance if we do not serve for the good of the people, lest we become as misguided as those who have fought us in the past.

Take Care.

Mr. Brand,

Would there be a way to acquire legitimate signatures from those on the list? Have we had correspondence with any of those mentioned in the past?

I've encountered the Lady Camilla Meldicia while she and her brothers made an attempt at a claim to the throne while in Travance. I was responsible for exorcising the evil force from her. I thought that she had agreed to end any hostile military actions against Travance during her negotiations with the Count. Perhaps there was no clause with respect to future incursions. She might still be abiding to the letter of that agreement. Does anyone have (or remember) the exact agreement?

Still, I am surprised that she would sign such document.

Do we still have her brother incarcerated?

I hail from Vorllorne..... the Duke is not someone to be trifled with. Have not been back there in ages, but I have heard.... murmurs... on the roads as I passed through Kormyre. If my assistance is needed to gather information, I am willing.

I do not propose we trifle, but before he attempts to make inmates of us all, we should investigate the Duke's prison. Ever since the old Stonefall fell, I believe it to be the largest asylum on either side of the Rift. Seeing as Just principles are amiss in his wartime strategy, it suggest his jail could be similarly lacking.
