[Western] Ansteorra Digest, Vol 26, Issue 53

[rizardo dartusio]

Yes, Gerold,  don't be deceived, but who is doing the deceiving?  Baron Chiang was also named the Defender of Trelac and look what that has gotten us.  
 
I now ask: "Where, oh Baron, is your defense of noble Trelac?"  Why do you build walls between friends?  Why to you lie to cover your actions?  With defenders such as you we may need more enemies.  
 
I once thought of you as a friend and defender of all that is honorable and good.   What do you hope to gain by building a wall?  I have not known you as long as some, but I always thought you to be an honorable man.  What has happened since you have become a Baron?  What has happened to the good men and women of Bonwicke?  Have you come under some evil spell?  Are you listening to those who would fill your head with visions of wealth and ambition?  The small shire of Trelac certainly has nothing to gain by promoting hostilities between us.  I beg you to turn from the path of you are taking, and become a Defender and friend of Trelac once more.
 
Rizardo d'Artusio, a true Defender of Trelac and past Defender of Bonwicke

  My Dear Friend,
I did not believe you could be so easily deceived. I have always held 
Blacklake and it people, in the highest of regards. I have always felt like 
it was a home away from home, so to speak. I have been its named defender 
more times than just about anyone else. Has it not occurred to you that the 
message you intercepted was to set up Bonwicke and myself? As far as not 
denying the tax collectors, or their being mine, I have sent no tax 
collectors to Blacklake or Crossroads for that matter. I have sent no one 
except a few surveyors, fence builders and a few men to guard them.
  My feelings about tax collectors is well known, and has been low these 
many years. More than one tax collectors has met his match with me. Granted 
things have not been as well in western Ansteorra, lately, but still I have 
seen no cause to send anyone to collect any taxes. I think instead that many 
are trying to use old rumors and lies about me toward their own ends.
  May haps one day soon, the west will be calm again.
  I am and remain, humbly your friend,
  Chiang
