Malarbor Says:

[Kaiser Dominus]

Our newly nominated/newly appointed/newly waiting upon a very fine strip of vellum to cure Chief Factor has bravely volunteered to relieve the pressure on the Kaiser's overburdened fiscus... what with his current, regrettable and expensive fixation with flying tanks... by undertaking a tour of inspection of the salt-mines of Raikoth. We wish the Chief Factor well on his voyage of discovery to the frozen north. May he find much in the way of sacred bounty to count. MALARBOR DEMANDS IT!

In unrelated news, it also would appear that our Lord of Blackstone has an artistic bent... very commendable in a man of such elevated standing.

Our beloved Kaiser is also concerned with the elevated standing of those in his court... so much so that he has taken to cutting them off at the knees. Concerned that this new policy of random amputation might spread fear and uncertainty amongst his retainers, Dominus has begun consultations on a table of ranks, so that his minions may be able to better anticipate where the cuts will come in.
