[Letter] Legate Vellyn Lyhrian - Proposal

[One_With_Nature]

Legate,

Following our conversation, please find my outline below of the proposed position within government, subject to refinement:

Spymaster / Inquisitor Role

The individual would be appointed by both Legate's and answer to them directly.

Any special assignments or tasks outside of the defined parameters require the authority of both Legates.

The individual will be considered an agent of the state and will be given authority to withhold information from other bodies outside the government, that is considered classified or sensitive material by the Legates of Ephia's Well.

The individual would be appropriately compensated with a wage and additional funds where necessary for tasks carried out on behalf of and authorised by the state.

The responsibilities of the position will be as follows:

- Managing, hiring, financing and overseeing agents that will aid in the duties of the position. Agents will not be recognised upon the Stele of Law and will be the sole responsibility of the position holder to oversee.

- Through the use of agents, covertly seek to gain information on enemies, dissidents, heretics and any who would seek harm against Ephia's Well, to gain a tactical advantage to prevent injury or disaster against the state and it's people.

- Proactively monitor both external and internal threats and report information back to the Legates of Ephia's Well, that appropriate measures may be taken and information dispensed as appropriate.

- Accept special assignments from the Legates, requiring the consent of both Legates, that may include infiltration of hostile entities, extraction of hostile entities from hostile or foreign powers, or any other extrajudicial activity deemed in the interest of the state.

- Protecting state secrets.

- Serving as an in-between for inter-accord conflicts and aiding in resolving matters that threatened the accords that serve as the basis of the Sultan's satrapy.

This is how I envision the role, though a more detailed would need to be drawn up by a suitable professional to ensure accountability and structure of the role, given the sensitive nature of the position.

Please feel free to pass this onto your fellow Legate for consideration.

Legate Lujayn,

It has been some time since I made my initial proposal and while I am sure you are more then busy with your newly appointed position, I believe that I can help ease at least some of your burdens with my proposal.

My time is quite valuable just as yours is, and I would like a direct answer as soon as possible. My preference is to use my talents to aid the state however if my services are not required, then I have other employment opportunities to pursue.

Let us be allies and thrive together, let this period of peace and prosperity endure your tenure.

- Enmur
