Jean rather likes the Vile Scribe

He has, naturally, several agents whose job is to hang out in cafés and report to him on the political moods of the city, including bringing him copies of pamphlets legal or otherwise.

Behold the Justice of Mendev

Vigilantio: I am Vigilantio, a member of the Mendev Lay Inquisition, who have no authority to patrol the streets fighting enemies of Iomedae, but decided to do so anyway.

Guardati: I am Guardati, an officer of the City Watch in the country of Mendev, the most Iomedaean country unless you are counting Lastwall, the place Iomedae actually likes. 

Vigilantio: I am the most Lawful Good. The Lay Inquisition works for Iomedae and she only didn't Select any of us because she is too poor to.

Guardati: I am the most Lawful Good. The City Watch works for the Lawful Good Queen and she only has to Behead a few members each week.

[...]

It takes him until well after he's done reading this one to realize it's not actually about Mendev.

Wait—

He Scrivens in the lower margin:

Hulrun: I am Hulrun, the Inquisitor of Mendev.

Scribulus: I am Scribulus, a Vile Scribe of Cheliax.

Hulrun: This Pamphlet is filled with Vile Lies.

Scribulus: This Pamphlet isn't even about you.

Hulrun: I am not a Lay Inquisitor. In fact I am Duly Empowered by Holy Iomedae.

Scribulus: I use Foreign Countries to make Allegorical Satire about Cheliax.

Hulrun: Also I have never thrown anyone into the Raging River. I had them Burned Alive instead.

Scribulus: What??

Hulrun: Everything else is True though.

Publishing this in Cheliax would be completely pointless, but he's tempted to do it anyway.

The Pharoj is Confused

Pharojio: I am Pharojio, the Pharoj of Osirion. I rule the Kingdom of Abadar with Reasonable Law.

Scrivulus: I am Scrivulus, a humble scribe. I wish to publish but have been afflicted by Confusing Laws.

Pharojio: I hold court in my prosperous Kingdom, all must bow before me. Approach, petitioner.

Scrivulus: I am a humble scribe from Far Avistan. I bow before you and ask you to approve of my Pamphlets.

Pharojio: What would Far Avistan have to say in my Kingdom?

[...]

This is why Lastwall's Board of Censors, which had some advance notice of the bill, has already prepared a declaration that until further notice they will not be hearing petitions from foreign authors.

A Tale of Long Ago Taldor

Taldaria: I am Taldaria, the Empress of Ancient Taldor. You can tell us apart from Current Taldor by how we sometimes gain territory. I am also visually distinct from Current Taldor. Crowns have not yet been invented so on my head I wear Leaves. 

Belkzen: I am Belkzen, a Great and Terrible war lord of the Savage Orcs. My two skills are Conquering and More Conquering. I am the one who Belkenland is named after, but because this is Ancient Times, it is not named after me yet. Instead it is called Orcland.

Taldaria: Governing in my land is done a Lawful and Civilized land way. The Crown is worn by a True Empress, advised by a Senate composed of exclusively High Nobles and Reputable Gentlemen. They are Dignified and Composed as they advise the Empress.

Belkzen: Governing in Orcland is done in an Anarchic and Barbaric way. Orcs are all shoved into a Cave where they engage in Raucous Shouting and Vicious Insults. Every so often, we Behead each other using Specialized Orcish Beheading Axes.

This is actually a bit confusing if one actually knows anything about Cyprian or ancient Taldor, including the degree to which Cyprian models himself after Taldaris the Great and his constitution after (the Galtan idealization of) age-of-enthronement Taldor. The suggestion that the Queen married Cyprian out of lust is also hilarious, but mostly for secret reasons.

The flaws in this one are a bit hard to satirize, but one can at least lay the blame for the Orcish Shouting Cave where it actually lies.

Taldaria: I pray to Aroden &c.

Aroden: Actually, the Times are So Ancient that I am Not Even A God Yet. I am just an Archmage.

Taldaria: I call upon the Archmage Aroden and ask him to protect Civilization from the Hordes of Belkzen.

Aroden: Indeed Belkzen is Foul. For I am the True Inventor of the Orcish Shouting Cave, and he mocks my Invention by permitting only Nobles and Reputable Gentlemen to enter it.

Taldaria: What??

Aroden: When I create an Orcish Shouting Cave in Taldor I will Kidnap many Random Farmers to fill it.

Taldaria: I do not think that is a Good Idea.

Aroden: I am an Archmage. It is not my Job to have Good Ideas.

(May the actual Aroden, if he's still around somewhere, forgive him for this.)
