JUSTICE-HERALD SAGA
*******************
Jerares: Bilin the Buffoon
He attacked Hams (with dirt kick) at the entrance to mocker's tavern, so
he was flagged. He whines he was inside his own Tavern so he should be able
to do whatever he wanted. I checked the entrance of the tavern and it is
not a place I can gossip. He is mistaken about it being inside his tavern
Not that it matters, the Law does not permit Heralds to attack people in
their tavern.
So I attempted to apprehend him in his tavern and he barred me, ran out,
and ran back in. I leave it to higher authorities to sort out this
fiasco since he declined to turn himself in peacefully.
Bilin: The corrupt Justice.
Greetings,
I write to you all to exclaim how categorically untrue these accusations are.
Firstly, I was being attacked for several hours by Hams inside the Tavern,
while the Justice sat aside and watched, inside the Tavern. I ran in and out,
trying to avoid combat, and the Justice did nothing. So, naturally, figuring
the Justice had left and I was on my own, I defended myself and the Tavern. To
become wanted, no doubt. At which point I informed the Justice if he outlawed
the person who attacked me, I would more then gladly turn myself in. Since if
he saw me attack anyone, he certainly saw Ham attacking Thremus and myself.
Yet, nothing was done. He attacked me inside the Taverns, so he was barred. As
far as I'm concerned, if a Justice cannot manage to outlaw persons correctly,
it is not my duty to sit around and face death. Upon trying to discuss anything
with him, he immediately attacked me. If Justices will not listen to reason, or
at least be fair I will not sit by while I am taken advantage of. There is a
point where one must stand up for his or her rights, and that is what I do now.
Jerares: The bard who writes the big notes
I wasn't in the lands when Hams allegedly attacked. That's too bad, but
its hardly any fault of mine. I had to leave urgently, and I returned as
soon as I could. My conduct is an example to all Justices. Maybe you
should have trained that moron Thremus to warn you better, instead of just
training him to keep Justices out while Heralds loaf around on the sofas
with wanted flags. Hams might have been lucky not to be caught, but there
is no doubt that this Herald sealed his own fate when he broke the Law.
Poetic Justice might be a more fitting term. Corrupt is such a strong
words to throw around without a cause to.
Bilin: The corrupt justice.
This will be my last note to the two cabals in reply to Jerares. I was wanted,
literally seconds after Thremus yelled for help. If the Justice didn't notice
it, or was conveniently away that's his own doing and perhaps he needs a bit
more training.
Jyra: A misunderstanding.
Seringale is a safe haven for the young and old alike: a place where they
may rest their heads without fear of losing them. The Justice see to that.
The Heralds have a much less intense job. We are to take care of the inns,
promote knowledge and maintain a peaceful environment where our
patrons can enjoy the finer things in life.
Both groups hold some measure of respect with in Thera, but what happens
when they are forced into conflict with each other, such as has recently
happened. Who is in the right when the laws of Seringale and the rules of
the Taverns are both broken and the punishments of each interfere with
each other? Whose redemption should come first?
The answer is simple: Justice.
In Timaran, The Heralds and a few under trained city guards are the only
ones in charge of order, but in Seringale that duty falls on the Justices. We
may keep our own rules within our Inn, but the Inn is still within Seringale.
This means that while they are sitting on our couches, or at our poker table,
they are still bound by their vows to the City herself, vows to uphold her rules
They will not attack within the inn unless they are attacking a criminal. The
Heralds have no right nor reason to harbor criminals with in the Mocker's
Tavern.
This article has been written with a dual purpose. The first is to apologize to
the Justice formally and humbly for our misunderstandings, and the second
is to make clear our position, so that such a misunderstanding is not likely to
happen again.
