LegateThese are relevant references from the Books where a Legate is mentioned. I make no pronouncements on these matters, but report them as I find them. Arrive at your own conclusions. I wish you well, Fogaban The Assassin is expected to move with silence, stealth, and swiftness, and depart similarly. His presence at the castle of Lord Temmu suggested that he might have arrived by means of his own tarn. That was not impossible. It did not seem likely he could have arrived publicly, afoot, as a legate or such. Some Assassins are particular in accepting their commissions, but, clearly, others are not. One might accept a handful of copper tarsks to do justice, at least as he understands it, whereas another, for a purse of gold, might kill an administrator, murder a business rival, or eliminate a competitive legatee. Some rich men pay local black courts not to accept commissions against them. "Slaves, about and not noticed, unseen, so to speak, coming and going, serving, are often better informed than legates, ambassadors, and diplomats." |
