The seal of the church of Helm adorns the envelope as it is sent, the scrawl of penmanship ended with the emboldened signature of noble house and rank.
To the attention of Emperor Imperatu Verinus, may the Gods protect him.
20 Eleint, 1382 DR
The Legion, despite exceptionally meritorious service in its operations defending our territories against enemy forces, have demonstrated a lack of professionalism in the appropriate measures required under the enactment of martial law.
Though in extreme situations it may be necessary to eschew the civil liberties of respected citizenry in order to promote security, such must be done only under a lawful and ordered process that currently experiences a lack of proper oversight.
With current military operations requiring resources and training for the task which the Legion was formed, the defense and might of our Empire, legitimately authorized enforcement of law within Sundarian jurisdiction demands a separate branch. The Church of Helm, partnering with the Triumvirate, have demonstrated the ability to accomplish the mission beyond the call of duty and have conducted policing detail with dedication, valor, and outmost faithfulness.
As such I formally request the following actions:
The duties of monitoring, enforcing, and enacting proper judicial procedures to be officially authorized under their arbitration of the Church of Helm and its Triumvirate partners. The Martial Law enforced by the Sundarian Legion to be repealed, or placed under full audit by the aforementioned parties.
Addendum: I implore Your Grace to bestow unto the Churches lawful superiority as is their Gods-granted right, the ability to enforce the law to the highest degree unchallenged. Law formulated by the Evenhanded, enforced by the Vigilant One, protected by the Loyal Fury, and its subjects nurtured by the Crying God. Such is what one should trust.
