Letter for Sir Callen of the Greatgaunt Guard

[Windhover]

*A letter bearing the sigil of the Royal Corps is left in Sir Callen's office of the barracks by a courier.*

8th Elesias, 1386 DR - Year of the Halfling's Lament

Sir Callen,

It is not often I have the opportunity to visit the Western Reaches or the village Greatgaunt as a simple cormyrian citizen, and less so to heed your wise advice in matters of the military anymore. Unfortunately, this time is not different. For I write to you and the Council of Greatgaunt to lend any aid or support that you require during these trying circumstances.

Word of the dire situation in which your man finds himself after being Kidnapped illegally taken into custody by Thayan Knights and Red Wizards of Proskur has reached the ears of the Royal Corps.

After discussion and deliberation with my fellow Swordmates, we conclude that the militiaman Beldan has been wrongly accused and convicted of heinous crimes that were not perpetrated by him.

By all accounts and from the evidence I was made aware of, he is but a mere scapegoat for the Thayans from Proskur to abuse and a victim of their forceful demonstration of "justice". In other words, this is no fair punishment, but a gross public display of their own twisted political propaganda.

We are well aware that time is of the essence and a very real threat of rising tensions between Thay and Cormyr is not to be underestimated by any of us either. The Royal Corps leaves no one behind. Even if guardman Beldan cannot be freed at the first try, perhaps there is possibility of delaying this execution somehow.

We stand ready and we shall do anything that is in our power and within the boundaries of Cormyrian law to save the life and seek justice for our fellow Cormyrian. Chosen personel from the Royal Corps is being dispatched to Greatgaunt and Valkur's Roar now.

With nothing more to add for the moment,

For Crown and Country

Lionar Norah Klender

Field Commander, RCMH
