The Theran Mystique - Volume 4, Issue 3
*******************
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.
