<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 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.</FONT></DIV>
