[Samson Option 9652]

"This letter is authored to the Royal Diet & to the Whitespire Government of Wards,

 

My name is Cunimund hal'Cingedoz, transcriber and Church Librarian for the Temple in the Archdiocese of Albarosa, just outside the gates of Whitespire. I have been fortunate enough to hand-copy the Ordinance of Charters and Guilds recently and had in my mind an inspiration to request of whomever is in the more appropriate station for a small parcel of land for a workshop of my own. My intention is to start a guild whereby tools and supplies of the intellectual arts including writing, transcribing, cartography, and painting might be produced, perfected, and disseminated. To this end, I would offer said tools & supplies to the government and to the Canonist Church.

 

The reason for my both addressing Royal Diet and Government of Wards is that, according to the Ordinance aforementioned & conversations I've had with respected members of society, guilds may only be potentially granted space within the city itself. For the following reasons, I am hoping either for an exception as Common Guild or perhaps Royal Order status that I may gain a small parcel of land outside the city for the following reasons:

 

• Part of my industry would be in dealing with apiculture for procuring candle-wax and aviculture for procuring and perfecting writing quills. Both of these species would be bothersome to the public and perhaps less fruitful within city walls, benefiting more from a more open environment.
• I am in need of a vaster space than the very cramped spaces afforded by my current scribal office in one of the towers of the Temple. I would like to continue transcribing both Church and government documents and will need more space to provide for better organization and continued work.
• In addition, as I would like to showcase paintings and cartography, more space would be required and the aesthetic would be affected if my facilities are too small.

 

Please treat this letter as a written plea on my behalf lest I am unable to attend the soonest Royal Court in person. In accordance to Section III of the Ordinance, I make my contributions quietly and humbly. I know I am known more for my contributions to the Church, but I pray you find my transcribed Charter of the United Kingdom of Aaun, Lex Aaunica, & Assembly Procedure Law in the Royal Capital's Assembly Hall an evidence of my contribution to the government.

 

Langosidos, Long peace to each of you, may GOD watch over us all,

Cunimund hal'Cingedoz"

 

The letter is also tucked away in a copy of the Lex Aaunica recently passing hands from Cunimund to Prince Heinrich Lothar. Cunimund, through his frequent passages through Whitespire, can be seen discussing his hopes in the letter and his investment in the idea in his mind.
