[Parreyon Syndicus]

Parreyon listened to Archalen speak on his perspective of the history of Imperia. It was indeed quite different from his own because both lived in the city during differing stages of life. Parreyon remembered the noble, rich council that ruled harshly but not for justice or economy, but instead for their own selfish pockets. The council had hated the Imperia Suns because fighting crime put less money in their own accounts. The council had been tainted when they placed the highest member of the suns on the council board … or better yet, the Suns had been tainted. Their leader took to the greed of the position and allowed the Suns to seek crime that did not affect him. Though this had been exposed long ago, The Suns kept it hidden to hide embarrassment. At least this was what he’d been told from one lower ranking member to him. Parreyon never really knew the truth; he only knew he’d been here long enough and moved.

When Archalen changed topics it brought a strange smile to his face. Not because of any truths to what was being asked but because the dorin in question was a friend of his as strange as that might sound. It was true that Godah was a member of the Ebon Watch thanks to some trickery on the behalf of Ogabe, but Parreyon would never openly state as much. His curiosity turned more to wondering just what the young lord thought he knew and really knew.

“Lord Andares, I will hold nothing back in telling you my desires are to remove The Suns from your presence and place them within the Sel’Rakrya. But I will not force them into that move. I will ask them. This becomes more obtainable on my part if you have removed them from authority thus preventing them from being allowed to even remain a functioning army. That would go against the Articles of Imperium. I do not ask you to do this for me for that would be foul play on my part, and I want the men to come to me with the intent and desire to continue to see justice followed through for sake of the Empire. I will seek audience with the Suns and present my case but only upon your blessing and understanding that they could be gone from here for good … sort of.

I will be establishing a base of operation within each province for the Sel’Rakrya to operate from. The goal being the apprehension of all criminals who try and jump border to avoid arrest. The provincial line stops any prefect or justicar from pursuit. To petition aid from the other justicars can be asking a lot because everyone is strapped dealing with crime in their area. This base of operation will be a place for the local lawmen to seek help or even advice on a proper course of action. Any man arrested would be brought back to the place of crime for the justicar to handle accordingly. We will aid, not take over. I plan to use the Suns Headquarters as the Provincial base of operation for Arakmat.

This begins first with your approval, then that of the Suns, and then the Governor. If my plan seems worthwhile to you, then I would ask in your aid in speaking with Lord Jones for my dealings with him have been of a limited nature and allies never hurt. That being said, I offer my services to you in return for your approval and aid if given. I believe in scratching the back of the one who is willing to scratch mine.”

Parreyon then offered another smile, smaller and a bit more mischievous than before. “And what pray tell might you have heard from our mutual friend, Godah?”

Parreyon then reverted to his katta tongue to reply to his new love, “He is using words to toy with me darling. The elves have always been eloquent with their speech and excellent politically minded people. He is telling me what he wants to gain both trust and approval in which he might be of value to me. I was unsure of his tact until the mentioning of a spy who works for me. I’m unsure of his intent but am certain it has to do with the spy in some way.

I love your perception, Darling, and am glad you are with me. I too agree that he is not boasting of his accomplishments and has a good heart. I know what this city used to be like and what kind of authority needs to be present in a man in order to make the hard changes that he has done with Imperia. No matter the outcome of my desires here, I look forward to working closer with a man like this. Trust and hard work are hard to find in combination when dealing with politics.”
