Dal Shabet

Aurelius merely thought about how ridiculous such a formal speech would sound coming from him, given his disheveled appearance: "You should all be aware of the true reasons for my and Varus's presence in the Wild Lands. We were tracking down the demon-spawn, Mark and Geheg. However, their crime was not that they were unfortunate enough to be born as half-demons. Their crime was that they worshipped the demon Xipil, hoping that he would grant them powers they could use for their selfish purposes and to serve him. According to the laws of Dal Shabet, this crime is punishable by death. Varus has already gone to the nearest outpost of the Ataraxian Order nearby to inform them of the criminals' location. If I do not submit my report within 24 hours, and none of you report the death of Mark and Geheg, a hunt will be declared against all members of the expedition by the Ataraxian Order and the Alexandrian Inquisition, which track down and destroy all demon worshippers and their supporters. Also, Varus authorized me to inform you that the Ataraxian Order renounces any claims to the property of the demon worshippers Mark and Geheg, and that it may be divided among all who help bring them to justice. Sir Paroxius, I believe you feel obligated to help me, for that is the will of the Emperor. Amos, please repeat the trick you did with Kelenor when he tried to escape, but this time against one of the demon worshippers, and if successful, you may keep all of his property for yourself. All others have the right to either help us to receive a reward and bring them to justice, or not to interfere, and in that case, no one will judge them." Aurelius drew his sword to set an example for the others.
