Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guilt Puppy" data-source="post: 1855976" data-attributes="member: 6521">Hiritus: "Unknightly?" Aesop responds. "Leave it to knights to be knightly -- a city is responsible first and foremost for the welfare of its people. I admire selflessness in men, but in government it represents dereliction from duty."He shrugs. "It's something Thedoric understood, better than I. I know it may not sound like the way we'd like the world to be... But it is for the best."Nurthk: "Why sign with his name? Because, ill or not, it would assure that his advice would be followed... There are few names more trusted, in this world.""As for its redundancy...He may have had his doubts about the Jury's dedication to the common sovereignty... He may have even known something I don't. In either case, he apparently felt it was too important to be taken for granted..."Raven: "I'm sure you know well that strength doesn't come without first enduring pain... So too must confusion come before knowledge.""Whatever else, though, the meaning of this letter is fairly straightforward -- if it was meant to be confusing, without your help, then it was very poorly designed."(OOC: PHB prices for bows around the city, and they are available in a variety of places... Hiritus spent pretty much all of his cash on his horse, however, so it becomes something of a non-issue -- not to mention it's up to dp now whether or not Hiritus wants Raven to do any buying for him, now that he's taken Leadership.)Fendric: Aesop listens to your oration carefully, though it seems to be directed little at him."If you see it fit -- I'm curious, who else is meant to receive these letters?"(OOC: Note, this should be the start of your sixth day in Eivanrach: The day of your arrival, the day of your meeting with Kester and Aesop, then three days of research and leisure before today. So not quite "over a week," but we can chalk that one up to -- oh, this never gets any less funny -- a clerical error on Fendric's part.)Aerda: "I'm not sure I'd call it a puzzle, just yet... But I may be able to share one or two, ah, illuminating bits of insight..."He grows momentarily awkward, fidgeting in his chair."You see -- and I apologize for not bringing this up sooner, but it seemed wiser to wait, for a few reasons... But, you see, Thedoric and I... you could say we were traveling companions, for a time. Many, many years ago, and not for a very long stretch... But long enough that I got to know him reasonably well. Well enough to raise an eyebrow at talk that he had fallen... but also well enough that I wouldn't dismiss the possibility."</blockquote>
