"I acknowledge that this doesn't address your broader point, but in my experience many Chelish subjects are not aware that paladins are not permitted to lie, and do not believe it even having been informed. I don't know to what extent this applies to the convention."

"It probably doesn't help matters but I do not think it is the crucial point. I do not imagine any of you liars, I am just trying to explain to you what the delegates to this convention believe, and what will happen if you tell them something contrary to that but without sufficient justification to actually make them doubt it."

"To revert the sins of the Thrunes is hardly radical." They really did make the situation worse!

"I intended my proposal as a corrective."

"In that case I think we should debate what kind of corrective is best. We could correct the present situation by proposing that instead of the present situation, all clergy are tried in the ordinary courts - presumably excluding the Glorious Reclamation, which should continue doing court-martials of its own people. Or we could correct the present situation by proposing decent ecclesiastical courts. The latter makes more sense to me, especially since we are desperately short of priests right now and trying to attract them to the country."

"I believe the church of Abadar is better able to expand right now than we are and in countries where theirs is the principal ecclesiastical court we interface well."

"I'll speak to the Osirians about a suitable proposal and try to return with it tomorrow. Thank you all."
