Subj: A Letter to the Mayor, The Town Council, and the Town

~~The following letter was dispatched to both Mayor Puptilian, The Town Council, and posted to the tree in Town Square Central~~

Dearest Mayor Puptolan, [[the name seems almost purposely written incorrectly by the author]]

I am both disheartened and filled with regret over your apparent disappointment. I serve at the pleasure and request of the Royal Magister, and Earl Jovery, the Northern Sentinel of the Turamzzyrian Empire. My burden can be at times overwhelming, made only more so when I learn of our trusted allies misinterpreting situations and being led astray by the crippling effect of rumors.

It is no secret that the Brotherhood of Rooks is an enemy of Wehnimer’s Landing, the Empire, and civilization altogether. I certainly never had intended to take any measure of action within the walls of your town without proper channels of communication being utilized. Any rumors of raids are most certainly that, rumors. Gossip. Hearsay. All of which can be just as dangerous as a double-edged sword.

I am however most dismayed about the blatant lack of disrespect and abandonment of any measure of discretion when it comes to actions against our mutual enemies. A penned letter to myself, or even a request for a meeting to discuss this rumor, would have truly demonstrated your decree of trust between our people that you passionately defend and rally behind. Surely you can perceive the wisdom in not announcing potential plans in the center of town, even if only rumors, to the very enemy they may be designed against? In fact, such pot stirring could potentially put innocent people in harm’s way, should our shared enemy, the Brotherhood of Rooks, take up arms or action on the suspicions you’ve tossed about like leaves on the wind.

But let us make no mistake. There is no jurisdiction conflict when it comes to the Brotherhood of Rooks. You cannot expect your town to claim them and their tunnels, any more than you would enlist giant rats onto your town’s citizenship registry. Because we can agree, can we not, that the Rooks are exactly that. Rats, dwelling in the underbelly of the town, protected only by the ease of tolerance versus the tenacity of justice. They have murdered your townspeople and murdered imperials. They have stolen from your town, and stolen from the Empire, and most specifically the Hall of Mages. Were consequences for their actions sought after as ardently as the volume of voices in their defense, we would likely have never endured this unfortunate miscommunication in the first place.

Signed,

Lord Dennet Kestrel of House Kestrel
Grand Magister of the Hall of Mages
Acting Commander of the Hendoran Outpost
