A MISSIVE TO THE ROYARCH OF CELIA’NOR

________________________________________________

 

𝕿o the esteemed Royarch of Celia’nor ( @Sailor ) and her honourable Council,

 

I write to you today to express my deep concerns regarding the conduct of your people, particularly those within your guard force, toward one of my men over the course of recent years. It has come to my attention that they have taken it upon themselves to act not merely as guards but as assaulters, investigators, and hunters of this individual. While I do not deny that this man may have committed crimes in the past, and that he may have been, at times, a source of trouble, he has already faced punishment for his actions. Despite this, your forces have continued to subject him to excessive and unwarranted persecution.

 

It should be noted, however, that this man is no longer in the employ of House Sarkozic or the Order of St. Emma, having taken actions in direct defiance of both the Knight Marshal and myself, the Count of Aldersberg, and while I have severed ties with him due to his actions, the principle remains unchanged. The aggressive and disproportionate measures employed by your guards against him have exceeded reason, and the broader concern over the methods your forces use to handle such matters still stands.

 

I have previously brought this matter to the attention of a Piraar several months ago, yet the issue persists without resolution. This ongoing aggression is not only a concern for my bannermen but a matter of principle for me. If there is an unresolved issue between your people and mine, I would have it be made clear that such grievances are, in truth, grievances with me. It is my duty and honour to bear the consequences of my men’s actions, and I expect that such matters be addressed with me directly rather than through this relentless pursuit of one who has already been judged.

 

I stand by the values of diplomacy, honour, and mutual respect as the foundations for our relations as civilised citizens of the continent. The tactics employed by your military, which seem increasingly desperate and war-like, are beneath both of our stations. This behaviour threatens the diplomatic ties we ought to nurture and signals an abandonment of reason and respect in favour of hostility.

 

I urge you to address this matter and cease these aggressive actions. Should you wish to discuss the issue further, I am more than willing to meet with you at your convenience. I trust that this situation can be resolved peacefully and honourably, as befits our respective positions.

 

With faith and humility,

His Lordship the Count of Aldersberg, Mateusz Marcin Sarkozic.
