Legates and Scribes,
As Citizen of Baz'eel and Voiced of Ephia's Well I have been awoken today to learn it is going to be illegal for me to seek Employment. That despite my many credentials and licenses I am by your Government declared "A Child". Permitted only to secure half the wealth of my contemporaries, categorically shamed and belittled for nothing more than my time of birth in this Great and Wonderful Sultanate. By those who have come as Refugee to adopt the Sultan as their Master. Until a decade ago majority of this Well would not have been permitted visitation of this great Desert without passage of the King's Ring Challenges. Yet I am lesser?
Now you enact by legal code, insult and belittlement upon me? That the Accord and Sandstone and others are given suspicious reprieve to this law, but all others who are not of the Boardworking "Adventuring Contract" prohibited and bound.
I have raised bellows regarding my dismay, but atop of penning scholarly treatise chronicling this legislative abomination, I take up ink now to share personal sleight and insult. That to navigate this matter I shall have to waste my time to seek a Magistrate to "Judge" any matter. That to navigate this matter I shall have to encourage my employer to also waste their time seek a Magistrate to "Judge' any matter. Among a litany of other embarrassing protocol and practices enacted by this half-baked fallafel.
Shame upon both of you. And Shame upon the Scribes of the Sublime Garden who have not given you suitable counsel before this mockery unleashed to the world, with Dual-Legatine signature and approval. One would expect better of the esteemed Chief Scribe Ashbury and her advisory.
One expects a degree of growing pain when attempting to usher forth a nascent government to maturity. This though, this cuts deep and wholly.
That I am belittled for seeking a life beyond "Adventuring Contract", Accorded Service, the Scribes, or the fifth-rate Institution of Sandstone? That I am bound by constraint of my livelihood because you consider me "Child"?
I am deeply and wholly curious how this matter will be resolved. And will be watching closely how this insult is remedied.
The records don't repeat,
Ruital ibn-Kharim
Ruital ibn-Kharim,
My personal opinions of this law aside, of which I think is needless and excessive, I think that your options are not as limited as you may originally view. I think we should meet and discuss that.
Measure every grain, Ruital ibn-Kharim.
Scribe Amani al-Ibrahim.
Ruital
The Legates made certain decisions against advisement and have, in their wisdom, heeded the merits of the counsel we humble Scribes provided.
I trust this resolution is satisfactory, and this matter may be chalked up to a minor lapse in communication and judgement in the face of the stresses of rule.
