To the Council of Sundren and Officiates,

I wish to formally request that Mathell Cavaliere be exiled for life from the sovereign state of Sundren as response to the events that lead up to his being charged and then prosecuted upon.

Requests for a retrial have been denied, despite my testimony to the fact that the judge of said trial gave false testimony to a direct question of mine. If such can not come to pass, than I wish that alternative punishment be granted, that would actually result in the state of Sundren to never have to deal with this individual again, even beyond his original imprisonment of 30 years.

If Mathell Cavaliere were to be exiled, I would personally escort him from the nation and bring him far from its borders as to provide no threat or problems to the security of this nation.

It will be made perfectly clear that if Mathell Cavaliere were to ever return, he would be in violation of such an agreement, and punishment up to and including capital punishment will be enforced.

It is my sincere hope that such shall be enacted. Thank you for your time.

In the Peace of Truth,

Ms Amiolasi,

After review of all evidence before the state, your plea for leniancy is denied. Mathell Cavaliere is without doubt and by his own admission guilty of all crimes charged against him. His punishments are just and humane. Having admitted guilt to these crimes, Mathell Cavaliere will serve the sentence lawfully decreed by the courts of Sundren. Mathell's past actions have shown him to not only to be dangerous, but also given to severe swings in morality and allegiance. In that he has, for the moment, professed reformation would gives no reassurances to the very real fear that he will cause future harm to this or neighboring countries.

Speaking frankly, I am shocked that a devotee to justice would propose that the same is served by letting a man admitting to necromancy and murder walk freely along the Sword Coast so long as he stays beyond our borders.

To the Council of Sundren and Officiates,

While your answer has been received, and I doubt further communication shall result in the very thing striven for, I still believe it necessary to make clear a number of things. First, the assumption that it was a move simply for leniency was not exactly accurate, considering under your own nation's laws, the concept of exile is included amongst the punishments of life-long imprisonment as well as execution, not in conjunction with something akin to 30 years imprisonment.

It was offered as an alternative because it was classified among crimes, and thus punishments, typically greater than the 30 year decision. So, according to your own laws, it is remarkably the opposite of lenient.

And if you are shocked that I would propose such a recourse to the current scenario, then allow me to express my shock. I am shocked at how there was no move for an investigation into my declaring there were lies and then even a cover up concerning said false testimony. There was nothing but a brickwall.

This is entirely disregarding the fact that no officials even returned a single response to the plea offered on behalf of the one known as Mathell Cavaliere.

At the very least, the entire process, the entire trial, was sloppy, rushed, and then even corrupted by officials who feel it is fine to lie and then retract that they ever mentioned the very words they uttered.

Speaking frankly, that is not justice, lest you begin to bear such things by the weight of sentiment and turn key emotion. If we wish to speak and declare of severe swings in morality and allegiance, I suggest that someone among the judicial proceedings of the State take a strong look at such a scenario in a serious light, far beyond simply assumptions.

Lest the severe swings be now found in convenient desires as to what Justice even means, and when it is convenient for those officials to follow it. Very little is more frightening than the knowledge that those who are ordered to be the very representatives of such within government will then conveniently wash it aside for their own motives, whatever those might be.

I earnestly pray that one among the council will start to express protest and sincere curiosity into what has happened here, and actually seek out that corruption.

Even if Mathell Cavaliere's fate is not changed, perhaps the actual state of your judicial system will be.

Ms. Secalia,

It is out of respect for the values of you and your order that I am drafting this response. It is out of this respect that I am willing to overlook your deriding of our legal system, slander, and baseless accusations and respond to your points as you presented them.

You would first argue that a lifetime spent in freedom beyond Sundren's borders is by far a harsher sentence than thirty years confined to a prison. If you truly believed this, I would think you would be far happier that Mathell is to be spared the draconian punishment of liberty beyond our borders. This is, of course, nonsense, and to insist otherwise is to be dishonest for the pure sake of being argumentative. For your sake and mine, let us call your plea of leniancy be what it is without needless attempts at camouflage.

As for your primary contention, that the Court Officer did not give full consideration to your offered plea, no investigation was performed because your grievance is moot. What you refer to as a trial was in fact a sentencing. It was made so by the uncontested fact that guilt was predetermined. It is not the preview of the accused or their representatives to dictate to the court what the accused's punishment will be. Said more plainly, there is no requirement for the judge to give your plea any consideration whatsoever.

While you may feel it is rude not to do so, or ruder still if you believe you were mislead on this point, it carries no weight in our system of justice. Justice does not require that the punishment you designed be the one carried out. This system was applied fairly to Mathell. You were afforded a chance to speak on his behalf. A sampling of Sundren's citizens recommended a fitting punishment which was enacted by the judge. I find no corruption in this process, and this sentiment has been echoed in conversations I have had with men of your own order.

I hope that these words have provided you with at least some clarity and closure on the matter, as I personally consider the matter concluded.

To the Council of Sundren and Officiates,

It does not really matter what sentiment or motive you wish to apply to me, regardless of facts, which is the very mirroring of what you accuse my person of in your opening statements. Baseless accusations. Whatever you wish to call it behind closed doors or even on public streets, it does not change the classification of the punishment under contention.

You merely need open your own law books and peruse the contents of such. If you have some actual evidence to the contrary, I'd be open to such. But until that point, my point stands, under any legal definition and correlation in existence. It is not leniency under your own laws, in comparison to his current punishment. Unless you are now willing to change your own laws and accorded punishments, it rather stands as I have rather openly and cogently put it.

As to your secondary response:

Considering I was rather specifically told that my plea would be addressed, I would beg to differ. Whatever laws you infer at this point, it is regardless of the fact that the plea was addressed because it was made very plain that such was an option. I would not have offered it over unless it had been. Your lack of understanding the conditions under which this happens only leads me to believe that either you did not research it fully, or you were blatantly lied to.

Such as, the plea was said to be addressed on the day of the trial. Was it? No. Never. Not even remotely, until it was necessary for my person to bring it up. So, whatever law you wish to call upon at this moment still makes it rather vapid in the face of being told something. But that rather leads to the last point that you still continue to ignore the crux of such.

To the third point of contention, and the most grievous one:

You communicate that there is no corruption in the fact that the citizens did not enact the plea that was written up on behalf of Mathell. That is more than obvious and entirely true. But it still ignores the actual accusation brought against said judge, which seems to be conveniently and wholly brushed away at every moment.

This being that the judge called for the jury to convene on the issue (entirely disregarding the fact that I was never made aware of the order of the trial), and he had my person and the State Representative enter his office. While in there, I voiced my concern in plain language. I wished to know if the plea had been shown to the jury as an alternative form of punishment. Whether any person finds this important or not, it is rather moot considering that the judge then told me it plainly was shown to them.

After the delivery of the verdict, I plainly asked the jury if they had seen said plea, as the judge clearly had told me they had.

None announced they had seen it. A jurist by the name of Melissa Selena, in fact, made it clear they had not seen said plea.

I was told they had full control for the punishment given. I was told that they had seen the plea.

The latter proved entirely inaccurate and a lie. Centurio Praetorian Peridan Twilight was present when I asked the judge why he had said one thing, when the opposite was the the truth. The judge then profusely declared he never said such a thing.

Now, I would like to know how this does not betoken the very consideration of unethical and unjust use of testimony by a judge within the law. I can say, without a doubt, that none of my Order would actually echo any sentiment that this is even remotely justifiable.

I hope this provides you with clarity on the matter.
