...and Warden of the Western Marches of Cormyr*
My Lord Sthavar,
Greetings and salutations. I am writing to report to you a discovery during my most recent visit into the Western Reach. Two Purple Dragons, namely Firstsword Baril and Blade Jorik, continue to occupy the same positions on the road to Proskur that they held before the new borders of Cormyr were established, despite their current lack of jurisdiction.
When asked, the Firstsword said that he could not leave the road unguarded due to the number of bandits in the region and has independently elected to remain at his old post, in uniform, to guard the Western Reach road from bandits. I must assume the Blade has chosen to behave in the same fashion.
These men are absent without leave and are unavailable to follow the orders of their superiors or to attend duties in Cormyr Proper. They have in essence become rogue Purple Dragons. I would put the recommendation forward that these men be ordered by their direct superior to report to the Outpost north of the Bramblewood for permenant station. That Outpost is dramatically undermanned currently.
If these men feel they should be allowed to select orders to their liking from a basket, I recommend they be reminded that they serve in the Purple Dragon Army and that they may continue to do so by following orders or may yield the Purple Mantle.
We do not need loose ballistae on deck.
My thanks to his Lordship for reading this missive.
For the Crown,
Sir Kelric
