Our business on the Isle of Markets has ended, or perhaps it is better to say 'begun,' well and with nobody dead for the moment.
I have managed to lay out something approaching a proper a proper legal code. One cannot expect the locals to pay it much more than lip service, but every great work must start somewhere. If today a man acknowledges Compact authority as something he chooses to disregard, then in a year he will at least keep up the appearance of obedience, in five he will obey in truth, and in ten he might even begin to trust his enemies to do the same. And so on and so forth, until one day his grandson aspires to serve that authority with honour and wonders at how his forefathers ever got along without it.
Note to self: Must think of a polite way to ask the Marquis why he returned from negotiations smelling slightly of spoiled pork.

Relationship Note on Elyid
I begin to worry that some dishonourable individual or group may be spreading misinformation attempting to take advantage of newcomers unfamiliar of the capital's admittedly complex laws. Lord Elyid Acheron, an educated man of rank, came to me concerned he might need some sort of official sanction from the Faith to host 'events in the interest of cultural exchange' of all things.
