  • Concerning Legionnaire Peridan

    An eloquently hand-written letter is left with the staff of Sundren City's jail in the Entertainment District, addressed specifically to Peridan Twilight of the Legion. The letter is sealed with the absence of the Enclave's insignia, though is enchanted with an illusory script that jumbles the words in the event that anyone but the intended viewer should read them.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Concerning Legionnaire Peridan,

    I, Pyras Demathos, address this letter to you on the behalf of my client, one
    Adeodadus Exitium whom you have taken into custody. As the defense attorney
    to the aforementioned detainee, I compel you, as the arresting officer, to either
    submit to the disclosure of evidence or refer me to the state's attorney. Be it
    from you or he, I will be expecting all interrogatories, documents and depositions
    before a trial is even considered sound or just.

    Should the rights of Adeodadus fail to be respected and maintained, know
    that retributive, legal action will come swiftly against the violators.
    Obstruction of Justice, under Sundren law, will not be withheld against
    those who jeopardize my client's rights and the proper proceedings he is
    owed. Moreover, should your personal biases against my client lead to undue slander,
    or should you convey falsely the evidence during it's disclosure, you will be subjected
    to charges of False Pretenses and Deception under Sundren law.

    As a Thayan, I've been introduced first-hand to the prejudice
    made apparent by those such as yourself. Know that I will not abide such
    transgressions being imparted unto my client. These charges represent
    misguided hate toward your prisoner and his lawfully sanctioned faith, and I am
    nothing if not morally obligated to defend Adeodadus from this intolerance.

    I expect my requests to be met a full thirty days prior to a set trial date.

    -Pyras Demathos

    When Peridan recieves the letter, he spends a few hours working on dispelling the illusion placed upon it. It takes some doing, but he finally manages to get past the high level illusion and have the paper plain in front of him and anyone else who wishes to see. Sitting at his desk at the Watch, he reads it to himself and shakes his head.

    "Thayans. Arrogant pricks, all of them."

    He rubs the Hand of Bane on his forehead as it throbs painfully, and pulls out some parchment to begin to write.

    " Master Demathos,

    Your client's actions have been recorded and filed efficiently, and remain in the Watch House as it stands now. I will have Clerk Jones make a copy and send it to you in due time before the trial. The evidence against him is a matter of public record, and is in no way restricted or classified, which is the reason he was on the Wanted list for so long. All you have to do is head on over, and Jones would be more than happy to supply you with them.

    Furthermore, I have all interest in seeing the process of law take its course, so I will forgive you for your blatant threats of legal action against my person and your insinuations that are not exactly the pinnacle of subtlety. Since you feel so strongly, it would be terrible manners of me to reply in likewise. But I would kindly remind you that since you are not a representative of the Thayan Enclave in this matter, your attitude towards the rightful government and its enforcers has not gone unnoticed.

    Finally, in regards to your client's lawful faith, I would suggest you look more closely into the origins of the Vellik Act before you praise the moral qualities for which you stand.

    I wish you nothing but a pleasant day, Master Demathos

    -Legionnaire Peridan Twilight"

    And unlike the letter sent to Peridan, this one does have the official seal of the Legion attached.
    Characters:
    Peridan Twilight, one-eyed dog of the Legion, deceased.
