Greetings

If he is still extant, he is likely within the inverted tower, brother belfast. But your devotion to doing the right thing is noted. You and I shall have words at the next feast, and I would ask you to reserve further words that might inflame people against the followers of the dark gods until such time, if only to maintain civil order.

Mister DuMourne,

I have mostly been reading tactical treatises and a month's worth of repeated paperwork for guard reports, and interrogation transcripts. I know some people find it amusing that a Northman can write or speak well, and it is true we are not given to the weak affectations of Southrons, but words are simply another enemy for me to conquer, though I undertook most of my initial conquests while thoroughly drunk, courtesy of brother MacInnes.

Mr. Belfast,

While you are entitled to your opinions, I expect you to conduct yourself in a professional, mature manner. To that extent, I invite you to talk with me in a private setting where we can work out our differences without burdening the town with our needless squabbling. In the meanwhile there is work to be done.

As for the others that you mentioned, their legal status is unknown to me so I prefer not to comment on whether or not they are allowed to talk as such publicly. If the Guard or a Noble takes it upon themselves to deputize me again and charges me with dealing with them, I'll take action at that time, no sooner. I'm sure many of the other towns members feel similarly to me in this regard.

Let me remind you, Mr. Merikh and Mr. Mapo: "None shall bring harm or attempt to bring harm to another, excepting in the virtue of defense." This law applies to everyone, regardless of religious belief, age, sex, gender, or status. If you break it, you are a felon and subject to the King's justice.

These so called "Tenants" of the dark gods that the light church seem to think are correct are merely propaganda spread by the light church hundreds of years ago.
What god that gained power from the death of living beings would ever want all life to die?
That makes no sense.
That tenant does make a lot of sense as a means to excuse the slaughter those who are frequently the last voice a soul hears before passing onto the next life.

Let us not get into doctrinal disputes at this time, please. The matter at hand is a necromancer doing something extremely nasty with the souls of healers and witch hunters. We should focus on solving this problem, and leave the bickering for another time.

Well in that case, you should seek the wisdom of your resident black sorcerer at the next baronial feast and I can help you solve this.

Have that royal decree in hand, and I'll be happy to do so, Mr. Orophin.
