[Letter] To Legates Garen and ~Vellyn~ Buster

[Bon]

Live and drink.

I had hope to speak with both of you regarding several things to do with the stockade but it seems, unfortunately, that our times have not crossed well these days.

I wish to clear make clear the support offered for the textbooks.
Two books were presented to us at the last assembly and when the money was asked for, Legate Garen mentioned something about "disembersement certificates" and no money was granted. I do not know what these are but please can we resolve this quickly as, presently, labour provided in service to our fair Ephia's Well has gone unpaid.
Legate Vellyn has stated that her impression was that the funds would come from the money donated to The Stockade under Ser Aurelio's initiative. I was under the impression that these were separate initiatives. I would like to meet to discuss this so we can all be clear on what the expectation was.
Legate Garen presently holds my share of the project. 5000 dinari was handed to him so that the project could be completed and resolved quickly but now the project drags on.

With that said, you both do have my heartfelt thanks for your support offered to the Stockade. Presently, if my accounting is correct, there sits within the funds for the Stockade 63,929 Dinari (though some of this might be held by Lyrist Aeronwy as, when I took over her duties for keeping the accountings of this board, there was some 13,929 alleged to still be remaining in the funds).
I shall add your contributions to the accounting board and the Palatial Pyramid shall take the second spot on our board of donations.

I now look to where this money need be spent to provide better housing to those of the Stockade.
The roof and the floor of that space need tending It is woefully unsafe and ill befitting any who might wish to make a home there.
As The Drifter's Stockade lies outside of The Shade, it is oft beset by Ashstorms. As such it behoves us to look for durable, yet easily replaceable, materials for the space, unless we have solutions for providing safety from the ash.
We could extend the shade out that way, which my prior plans expressed, or get one of those new "Ash Turbines" I've been told of.
I would love to meet to discuss this so the money can be used promptly.

Please let us find a workable time, or discuss this over letters, so that the refugees can live and learn in dignity and safety.

[The letter is resent to Legate Buster Grimes with the following addendum]

Buster, you're Legate now so that means I get to annoy you with letters like this.
Let us meet regarding the above letter. I am eager to make changes.

During the debate you stated you wished for someone to take the position of managing such projects under one branch.
I would like to put myself forwards for such a position and would like to speak with you on what I'd offer to such a role.

~ Balladeer Kasu Ortiz, Bulwark of the Beast, Breaker of Azuron, Vanguard of Hufaidh.

Kasu, sorry for the delay.

Who all made books again? Orin, Onion, and Manos? If there were two others yet, reply and I'll get the request made for the funds.

Regards,


Garen
Legate

Balladeer Ortiz,

We spoke briefly on it, but I believe what I suggested will be doable with my co-Legate's return. The textbooks situation we'll need to talk over, both with Garen and yourself to figure out where the break down in communication is.
