On Temperance and Duty

[DancingZebra267 1626]

To His Imperial Majesty, and to the Empire of Man,

 

I write to you with humility in my heart and the weight of reflection upon my shoulders. I offer this missive as a formal apology for my recent outburst concerning the state of the Imperial Guard in Alba. My words were spoken with conviction, but not with the restraint or respect that your throne is rightly owed.

 

I do not take back my concern, but I do regret the manner in which it was expressed. In the heat of battle, having faced three darkspawn in a single day and suffering the loss of my left eye, my emotions overwhelmed my discipline. Still, I recognize that duty to GOD does not excuse disregard for proper order. I should have brought my concerns through the appropriate chain of command. For that, I offer my sincerest apologies.

 

Though I cannot pledge myself to the Imperial military, as my vows as a monk and Chaptermaster bind me to the Church and the Order of the Grail of Saint Lucien, I do offer my continued service in the classroom. I have spent a lifetime hunting darkspawn, heretics, and the cursed. I know what to look for. And I am willing to share this knowledge freely for the safety of the realm and the glory of GOD and Man.

 

If it please Your Majesty, I am prepared to advise any Imperial officer or garrison on how to detect, test, and confront the threats that fester in shadow.

 

May GOD watch over your reign and strengthen the Empire of Man.

Vincenzo de Capua, Chaptermaster of the Order of the Grail of Saint Lucien, Knight of the fellowship of Lucien, Brother of Sacred Hearts Monastery, The Elf Cleaver

"Is he done now?!" So snaps an aging magician to one of his constructs. Not for the first time, he regrets setting up the Daily Happenings protocol.
