[QUOTE="Branding Opportunity, post: 2285705, member: 31812"] At this the guardsman's ears perk up and he immediately reevaluates the man in front of him. He nods as Mavic finishes his sentence, then leans in towards him, "[COLOR=MEDIUMTURQUOISE]Sir, I hope you have some written or other other proof of your claim. I apologize for having to tell you this, but the city is not the same one you left. With all the claimants in town, the Marchioness is cracking down on pretenders and confidence men. Impersonating a member of the nobility has always been a crime in Istivin, but before it only got you a thorough lashing and a few weeks in the jail. Now, those accused of such a crime find themselves quickly in front of a magistrate, and even quicker under the executioner's axe.[/COLOR]" He points up towards the wall, where far in the distance you can see a number of heads on pikes.
