[Office of the Justicar]Letter from a Concerned Citizen

[Sebastian Denovansson]

Early Spring of Era XIV p.f.

Sebastian paid what little coin he had to have a provincial courrier send a letter to the Justicar of Carmelya for the crime committed by Lyr Tlansson.

To: Justicar of Carmelya

From: Sebastian Denovansson, citizen of Tearsfall, Citizen of Carmelya, and citizen of the Empire.

I do not know you nor have ever met you but am writing on behalf of a great tragedy in the small town of Tearsfall which you oversee. I am a small town bard who plays music at The Naked Orc Tavern and Inn. I have never commited any crime nor broken any laws. I have played in this place for over two patterns providing music to its many patrons. This place is home of the local prostitutes but such is not a crime in the Empire.

Just recently our thane, Lyr Tlansson, made a proclomation closing down the Naked Orc and running all of us staff members out of town. For committing no crime or breaking no law, I am being run out like a criminal! I now have no money and no job and because of this proclamation am leaving Tearsfall for Natura in hopes of finding work to earn money to go to school at the Bardic Conservatory.

This will be no easy task given my poverty status. I had been trying to save up every crown I could while working a legitmate job in Tearsfall in the Empire in order to fullfill my dreams which came crashing down on me with this Proclamation. I do not know what will happen, and this letter will serve as record that if something trajic were to happen to me, that I want Lyr Tlansson to be held personally responsible.

Does not the Articles of this Empire state that it protects its citizens and not throws them out on the streets to starve? Does it not say that the government positions were made to provide peace and prosperity not interfering with a person's right to work? I am no scholar but cannot imagine an Empire where this is not the case.

I seek retribution. I seek proper justice. I demand that the thane be brought up on charges for denying my rights as a citizen of this Empire. As I have said, I am no scholar, so trust in you to know what proper articles have been broken. I beg for aid. I can be reached at the Bardic Conservatory in Natura.

Loyal Citizen of Carmelya and the Empire,

Sebastian Denovansson

This letter will be copied and sent to The Justicar of Carmelya, The governor of Carmelya, The Imperial Judicator, and The Imperial Regent in hopes of hearing some resolution to my improper treatment as a Citizen of The Empire.
