[ This letter is very similar to Astarion's if only because Xenk only has one way of saying things... and also he wrote two letters. ]
Dearest Fenris,
This past month I have been wracked with a multitude of thoughts following certain actions that the Paladins have taken in Elah, specifically regarding their study into the cursed gravestone that was the cause of so many of my ills only a few weeks ago. This, combined with rumors and indeed my own personal encounter with rogue Paladins who have been enacting cruel and unneeded punishments in the city have left me at a loss.
My complaints as to both instances have been met with silence, and claims that "bureaucracy" make it too difficult for the Paladins to properly monitor and ensure that only justice is served in their name. I cannot support a corrupt system that claims to promote justice and order, yet would turn a blind eye on the concerns of its members and leave innocent people to die simply because they do not share their affiliation.
I believe it better to cast such false justice aside, than continue to abide by cruel systems. I am thus planning to start my own group, or "crew," in hopes of gaining greater independence from the Paladins who would create such unjust systems. This should also afford me the ability to maintain my Oath without contributing to their numbers.
Would you be willing to join me in this endeavor? I understand that as a Corsair, justice and righteousness may not hold much allure, but crews are not bound by the rules of a single armada and are afforded a level of independence that surpasses that of the Armadas themselves. I ask this of you because I value your opinion greatly, and believe that freedom is integral to your values.
My thanks for your consideration, and I hope to hear your reply when you are able.
it's a letter! late november
