I will not be able to visit you myself tonight due to prior engagements, so I will answer some of your questions here. Please destroy this message when you have comitted it to memory. If you forget, its ink is designed to fade within a day or two. You asked for descriptions of the major players in town, so here they are. The number following each name is an indication of power and influence. There are six townsmen who make most of the major decisions of the town. They hare labeled with a (6). Occasionally, a council of ten gets together to make a decision, and those last four are labeled with a (10). There are a total of about fourty people who can honenstly call themselves townsmen in some respect or other. The top thirty of those will be labeled with a (30), and the bottom ten with a (40). There are also a number of other players, some of whom have a minimal amount of political power, who will not be labeled. You may ask questions via proxy. -- Gal Silnquost (6) has been head of the textiles guild for the past ten years, since he was thirty five. His name is well-known by the people and towsmen alike. Silnquost is easily the most powerful person in town, with control over the largest number of guardsmen and influence over the most powerful townsmen. Harming him in any way or attempting to convert him would be a dangerous thing to do, so I will have you avoid even being seen by him. -- Reden Orfort (6) is one of the three most well-known townsmen, but he's probably fifth or sixth in terms of power. Unlike Silnquost, he does not lead a guild. His power comes from inheritted wealth, land holdings outside the town and private investments in other guilds. Someone on my side siezed Orfort from his home and imprisoned him a few days ago without informing me, and it took quite an extensive appology on my part to calm him down. His imprisonment is not common knowledge. Yesterday, on the seventeenth, a man I have not yet identified attacked Orfort in my name. and he has since become one of Silnquost's staunchest supporters. -- Raiborder (6) disappeared days ago and hasn't been heard from since. The considerable number of guardsmen he controlled have defaulted to Silnquost. He was one of the six most powerful townsmen. -- Cewethir (10) leads the coalminers' guild, making him one of the more powerful townsmen. He doesn't control much of the guard, but has large land-holdings and many connections outside of town. Connections to the outside is an unusual thing in Maelbourg, as you have no doubt already learned, due to the strict regulations against Morenthians leaving the town, and the general and understandable dislike of Morenthians throughout Rang. -- Aso Miscem (10) represents the shepherds' guild. Wool is one of the primary industries of Maelbourg, after textiles and coal, but Miscem is not a very influential townsman. There are only a small number of guild members, who are the wool distributors. The shepherds themselves are not part of the guild. Since Miscem depends on Silnquost's guild for almost all of his income, he sides with Silnquost on every issue. -- Hewlard (30) has little military power, but he is a charismatic man, and his abilities as an orator have just recently come into play. Like most townsmen, he was unknown to the people, but now some have heard of him. He has been uncomfortably effective in converting my townsmen to join Silnquost. Hewlard is a difficult person to approach, since even before the recent events, he never went anywhere without an enterage of five or six bodyguards. Hewlard leads the wainwright's guild, and gets most of his business from Silnquost, Cewethir and Miscem. -- Velirra Dufowl (30) has controlled the tailors' and seamstress' guild since the death of her husband three years ago. She is another townsman who owes most of her business to Silnquost. -- Batarel (30) is not a significant player, but he is worth mentioning since Sahlman's attack on him is what started the recent violence. Batarel seeks Silnquost's favor, and will do whatever the greater townsman tells him to do. -- There are two more of the top thirty, one of whom is in prison for blasphemy, who are suspected of siding with Silnquost. He also has a goodly number of other influential supporters, several of whom have been imprisoned for various reasons. On my side, there is a larger number of supporters among the townsmen, though of less influence on average, so that the balance remains frustratingly even. I also have the help of Ulan's former holdings, which include some land, liquid wealth, and a large percentage of the town guard. While Ulan was largely incompetant, he did manage to gather up some level of popular support through some of the lesser townsmen. Others on my side include: -- Jorran Kal (6) keeps to himself, so almost none of the population has heard of him. However, he controls a good share of the town guard, and in times of peace, he has a lot of influence over taxation and other monetary decisions in town meetings. -- Gerrit Argol (10) is head of the money-lenders' guild. Both his legs were broken in an attack by one of Silnquost's men, as a retaliation for Sahlman's attack on Batarel. Dispite his injury, he is one of my most valuable allies, due to his monetary ties to almost all the townsmen. -- Eiselon Makierrei (10) controls much of the trade with other towns. Unlike the other townsmen, he is an Andrithan, so he can freely travel in and out of Maelbourg. Contrary to ordinary Maelbourg logic, his religion, rather than hindering him, was the primary reason for his rapid rise in power. Being an Andrithan, however, he has to go to special efforts to remain distant from the population and the other townsmen. -- Leve Herelg (30) was injured by Silnquosts' men yesterday. -- Age Luben (30) leads the cobblers' guild. -- There are six more of the top thirty and three of the bottom ten who support me. Three, Fillien, Per and Vumeshel, have been imprisoned for various nonsensical reasons by Silnquost's. Other influential people have also sided with me, many merely to disrupt Silnquost's business. Only a few of these last know that Balban is involved. A few potentially major players have not yet come into play. They are: -- Jackol Worsen (6) is well-known for being a very religious man. He is often seen in the House or Purification Rooms. He has a good deal of influence over the people, but not very much over the townsmen. He is precisely the type of person Balban would be looking for, to supplement political power with popular support. -- Jerrakken (40) is known by the people, but not as a townsman. Jerrakken is a religious man with close ties to the Morenthian priests. -- Duddan (40) is captain of the guard. He's tried very hard to remain unaffiliated. He is paid jointly by all the townsmen, and he himself participates in town meetings, making him somewhat of a lesser townsman in his own right. -- Forgolon is not a townsman, but his popularity and his association with Ulan gives him some political influence. Ulan believed he was a useful person to have around, but I don't think he is very significant. -- The House of Morenth has remained aloof of the situation. While they have no official political power, they seem to have some influence over the people.
Attached to the end of the letter was a couple sheets illustrated with the seals and guild-symbols of the townsmen, a map of the town marked with each townsman's residence, the townhouse, the various guild-controlled buildings, the prisons and other points of interest.

“There is something along the same lines as arkasu, but I avoid the use of galingale when possible. While it deadens the flesh and reduces pain, it also seals the wound, preventing it from breathing.

“If you have some time, I would love to talk with you about herbs and salves. I am bound to learn a lot from one as august as yourself.”
