A Note of the Obvious

A lengthy Note is posted on an Arethor Board, as well as stuck up on other places, posts, Walls, and other such. It is written in a gorgeous flourish.

People Of Arethor, Nobles, Citizens, peasants. It does not matter. What there is to say, is a simple message shared by many, if not all the lower populace is Oren. The Empire at it's head, is a Ill thing indeed. With Executions, ordered on whims daily, Deep racial prejudice, Arrogance and Bigotry running deep in the system, it is needless to say, things must be changed. In no way should this Incite revolution, of violent sorts at least. If you, the Nobles and guards do not like this message, see how the peasantry take to it, before you burn all of these. As well, if you remove these, they will simply re-appear sooner or later. -The Prince

Edmund Myre slowly plods towards the note, the note catching his eye out of the others around the board, he slowly pulls up his visor and begins to read it. At the end of the note he begins to let out a soft chuckle and proceeds to murmur to himself.

"Aye, Executions everyday, for the gallows have been clean and simply collecting dust for the last few years. Oren is quite the monster for lowering taxes to the point they're non-existant, givin' peasents 'nd those less fortunate food fer nothin'. 'ell, we let orcs, the ones of which prejudice is about the most lumber around adorned with armor. Oren is quite the shoit-hole."

Edmund Myre procedes to shake his head, a deep grin covers his face and he slowly puts down the visor on his helmet, murming "Sumone's just angry that they were punished fer not listin' to the laws. Sumone's arse is of the upmost hurtin'." He then procedes to walk away, knowing that the note will soon be forgotten about and other notes will cover it.

Stares at the note wondering what it means, Gundir chuckles to himself then says out loud

"Aye, lowering taxes and housing prices is oh so very, evil I'm sorry to do such vicious things to you such as making sure you have food to fill your bellies, nice big homes and low taxes, so you can afford to keep these homes. Also, we haven't executed someone in a while, it's the stocks then they are free, it seems as though when we stop executing people we are evil. Strange, I guess executing people means we're not executing people? What logic is that...Silly peasants, I wonder how this man also learnt how to read and write...If Oren is so evil, why would it teach it's own peasants to read and write"

He then turns around, looking to see if anyone else is laughing at the ridicules ideas the commoner who clearly doesn't even live in Oren presents

High Sanatore Toov chuckles, tilting his head to the side as he reads over the message posted on the board.

"Yes, it's zhe intolerance zhat drives zhe Evil in Oren. Zhe fact zhat zhe people und nobility vill not stand idly by und allow ozher races to trample zhem... surely zhe seed of corruption. Nevermind zhe heresy zhat runs rampant due to zhe absence of Emperor Godfrey."

Sighing, he tugs at the buckle of large leather sheath slung across his back, before tucking it back under his pauldron. Fairness and equality were one thing. Losing your native culure and openly accepting former enemies of Man were quite another.

But then again, people would always complain. It was their nature.

The High Sanatore made the sign of the cross over himself before strolling on. The crosses affixed to his pauldrons glimmered a bit in the sunlight.

Emperor Protect.

*Uthor and is Patroling Arethor with several new lances showing them what thier duties are and explaining more on thier Oaths and Duties. Till he hears a man read the note out lad. The man looks dumbfounded as many others around him. Uthor sighs and walks over to the board and reads it himself*

"Bloody twits.." He says to himself in a low voice

*He turns to face the group looking confused on what is supposed to be "Obvious" but it is not.*

"Lad and lasses. Ye'll all know that we have not excuted a lad in eight years? Until a few days ago when we hanged a traitor who tried to kill a Archbishop and Pontiff and plotted to kill the Emperor... And Ye have all seen that taxes are a fourth of what they used to be. And even house prices are down...and We give the peasant and lower classes Elven weekly rations after wheat taxes are collected so some who can not buy or gather food had food for themselves and their family...Is that really a bad thing...? For the Lights sake Godfrey was frozen for Eight years until two elven days ago... I have no clue where this twit has been...obviously not Oren."

Piper tilts her head as she reads the note, humming quietly as she holds her daughter's hand. The sun shines down on the city of Arethor as all sorts of different races mingle peacefully together.

"Executions everyday?" She thinks to herself, she looks over to the empty gallows as a tumbleweed blows across them. She looks back and tries to remember the last execution, besides that of the traitor, but finds it quite difficult.

"Am I in the right city?"

She re-reads the note and takes a look around her, seeming confused at the false accusations.

Doone passes by, glancing at the note for a fair amount of time, trying not to be seen doing such. He then laughs lightly then smirks, murmuring.. "..It seems certain views are shared.."

*Abdul reads the flier scowling*

"The Oren empire, you use it as a scapegoat for your own shortcomings. What a fool..."

"I started from nothing and now I live with the woman I love in an elegant house."
