Hey, just being a chum, but eh....we got an ashfolk getting hauled in to the Garrison. Someone might want to swing around and make sure you dot all your i's and cross all your t's so somebody don't end up stepping in something warm and stanky.

QuoteWedelia P. Holiday
Would a magistrate or Sergeant please report to the Garrison please.

QuoteWedelia P. Holiday
Good evening Ephians, as a public service announcement, by the ruling of Magistrate Haknar, licensed merchants are able to sell all narcotics listed in section 8 of the penal code.

Purchasers of narcotics are reminded to also obtain a license. Ye may lodge your inquiries with the scribes for your licenses.

QuoteRuital ibn-Kharim
Good evening. If you would please bear with me a moment. I wish to say a few words of Soldier Wedelia P. Holiday, and her conduct during my recent arrest.

She is a diligent and thorough investigator, a tireless servant of the Sultan, and a credit to the Fourth Legion. That she able to perform her duties so rigorously while equally attending her son at Sandstone College, and other duties, a testament to her commitment.

To this end I am formally requesting she be granted not only a commendation, but I offer a heartfelt recommendation for her consideration in rise to Inspector. Furthermore, moved by her actions, I shall be cutting the requested Thirty Percent to Fifteen percent, for my contract with the Legion.

That the lion's share of these profits further see the Legion's duties undertaken and a new class of Scarab raised with as much gusto as she. I shall have the amended paperwork sent to your office by morning, Sergeant. Live and Drink.

You lot made me roll outta' my bunk for this. There'll be hells t'pay, ol' Sergeant Gilbracht remembers his dues.

Narcotic is banned, and our laws regarding this kind are clear. Narcotic licenses such as they were are defunct. Any Scribe caught sanctioning the flow of Narcotic is t'be charged themselves with Smuggling an' the abetting of Crime in this citadel.

At y'nearest convenience, Legates Lhyrian an' Kruehtzer. I ask y'meet with me to discuss whatever energetic bit of misconduct has just properly occurred.

Live an' drink.

This is Deputy Chief Scribe al-Samar. It seems I must provide clarification and context as alarming accusations and threats are cast upon the Bellows by figures who should understand the weight and severity of their position.

'This allows the aforementioned signatory to use, sell, and distribute narcotics otherwise banned under law by the Assembly of Ephia's Well', this is the official text of the rights provided by a Narcotics License distributed by the Sublime Garden. It's intent in both letter and spirit are clear.

The assertion that such Licenses are defunct is a fiction with no basis in Legal proclamation, nor record, nor intent. While the Scribes have been given general advisement to show proper discretion in the providing of these Licenses as we do with them all, they remain entirely valid.

I will not have my Scribes threatened with Legal action over entirely non-existant crimes. I will further, politely, remind Sergeant Gilbracht that it is the Duty of a Magistrate to Interpret, Weight, and Apply the Law.

It is the Duty of a Member of the Fourth Legion, as assigned to them by our Sultan Osman VI, may his name be ever synonymous with wisdom, is to Enforce the law as written and interpreted, regardless of their personal opinions on it.

To publicly decry the ruling of an appointed Magistrate while in the position of a Sergeant, to threaten the Scribes of the Sublime Garden with improper prosecution, these reflect poorly upon your station. I advise such be considered, by yourself and your superiors. Live and Drink.

I'll not deign t'educate the ignorant of ongoing events. If questions are had regarding the proper crisis we find ourselves in an' operating to curb, answers an' assistance are always offered at the Garrison.

Hello! Brief public service announcement. Our laws are to be interpreted -exactly as they are written.- If the Board of Law states that drugs are illegal, then drugs are illegal. No ifs, no buts, no maybes. Any and all narcotics listed on the board are -illegal.-

This, also, means that the laws as they currently stand do not make any allowances for narcotics licenses. Carrying one about does not grant you any legal protection whatsoever. Please do feel free to seek myself, my Co-Legate, a Magistrate, or one of the Janissaries if you've further questions!
