[Royal Guard] Unto Captain Lucius von Stahl

[Emilie Arnold]

Unto Captain Lucius von Stahl,

It is with great contrition I take up my pen and draft unto your office 
this complaint pertaining to one Arms-Corporal in the ranks of our Royal 
Guard, Merin Bithsbane, in specific regards to an altercation having 
occurred in the Black Dragon Inn last night, on the thirtieth day of 
Sarmatgentat. At the toll of the third night bell or perhaps somewhat 
hence, having chanced to overhear unsavory words between the guard of prior 
mention and one tespin, Aeron Ktrenna, understood to hold the title of 
Floxod in the land of Arangoth; and having judged it unseemly indeed for 
one of the Ranks to so threaten with death a member of the gentry; and 
believing further and forthwith that such conduct so taints the public 
impression of the Royal Guard, about which much corruption is already 
unfortunately rumored; I, Liadhan ul-Artemisia Albesce, holding in the 
Guard the rank of Sergeant and the office of Senior Healer, approached the 
Corporal and suggested he desist. The Corporal suggested my auditory acuity 
of super-human nature (which, I confess, is true), for his voice had been 
low in threatening the Floxod thus. This Guard begs exception for having 
overheard perhaps what she ought not to, but submits this complaint all the 
same; first, as such conversation transpired in a public pub, and, further, 
one known to traffic in citizens of all sorts of extra-sensory perception; 
and second, perhaps more importantly, in that the Corporal thereafter made 
every effort to physically and verbally intimidate myself, in words and in 
body language casting aspersions upon my apparent youth, my height, the 
desperation of the Guard in so posting such a "miscreant" to my assignment, 
and the corruption of the Royal Guard so demonstrated in having affronted 
himself; and lent no credence or respect to either my post or my rank.

One believes Corporal Merin Bithsbane a deplorable example of the Royal 
Guard's public face, but cannot suppose to suggest the proper course of 
action. I leave this issue, and the choice as to act upon or to dismiss it, 
humbly at your office.

Me exenim,

Liadhan ul-Artemisia Albesce
Guardhouse Infirmary Senior Healer
and Sergeant of the Royal Guard in Drache
