[MR] beware the temples

[Nick Malone]

I request the assistance of one who can gain the ear of the King;

    Being a noble and Honorable man; who has so far stood aside to allow justice to fall on the dwarvish head of Balynar, who styles himself a baron. I feel I must warn our kindly and generous and wise King. Beware the Temple and their Templars. In my travles I have heard often of their deeds. It is commonly known that their interest rates are at least 2 percentage points higher than mine. As an order of knights sworn to god and King; this would seem no less than treason. The often plot rebellion and commit herasy against their Pope. There must come a day when the King and their god will strick them down and sieze their fortresses. Beware allowing them to safegaurd any royal property; for it is commonly known that they still possess the crown of Baldwin, last King of Jeruselum. They have made no attemt to return it to the current rulers of the lands or to find poor misguided Baldwins familial heirs. Also, it is common Knowledge amongst travelers that the Templars often extort tolls for travel from holymen and even merchants. I have no wish to shock the gentler souls of the world but someone must aver the truth before all good men. And While I accept most peoples local customs as matters of fancy and choice, It is well known that these Temple Knights brought home habits of the greeks, where upon, "turn the page" is not a phrease associated with books, as most cannot read.
    If the Noble King would like to witness the chastisement of his hand in Caer Mear I will be happy to host and feed him and a reasonable escort and such harem as befits his station. I will only charge interest of 13% on funds he might require to present himself.

Trying to be of Service, at reasonable rates,
