"Honoured First amongst Firsts,
It has recently came to my attention that House Do'virr and its inhabitants were banished to the wasteland after the ruling of the Matron's council for committing crimes against both the city and the Spiderqueen. I write this letter to you in hopes to appeal that decision for an alternate outcome, as I believe the current ruling does not benefit us in a positive format.
At this point in time, we are currently at war over our territories with the Orcs. The reality is that taking ground from the orcs is not a difficult endeavour at this stage; holding the ground we take due to our few numbers is proving to be more difficult. We have very limited resources at our disposal, particularly in man power and the banishment of Do'virr's personel from Edonil reduces our already stretched forces further so.
Instead I would like to propose the following to be put in place:
* Firstly, that the Banishment of House Do'virr be reversed.
* Secondly, that House Do'virr cease to be a House and be broken down, its personnel dispersed into other houses of their choosing to perform their atonement to the Queen through continued service. In doing so, they will continue to serve the city instead of increasing the numbers of future heretics we have to deal with when we are finished with the orcs.
* Thirdly that Former Matron Arete be placed under the charge of First House Myafin to be re-educated by her superiors for her crimes and perform her atonement through service opposed to banishment. In doing so, she will continue to serve the city and its interests instead of strengthening the heretics with inside knowledge and intelligence of our capabilities and weaknesses. Under the leadership of the First House she will also be monitored and mentored in the right direction to once again be a valuable, contributing member to our destined Empire.
If this proposal is agreed to by the Matron's Council, I will personally donate one million (1 000 000) gold coins to compensate the city for Do'virr's previous debts which will be divided equally throughout the different coffers in the city. I will also endeavour to assist the Matron's council in mentoring the previous Do'virr members whom serve with me against the Orcs to help them atone for their crimes through service to Edonil.
My ruling council... we need these individuals and their skillsets to assist us in carving out our destined Empire. If we toss them to the Wasteland, their knowledge and skills will only be used against us either in the short term or in the far future. I pray you see sense in my appeal as being for the benefit of our Empire.
Your Humble Servant,
The War Sage."
