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?
Scrivulus: O great Pharoj, these are not for your kingdom, they are to be published in my home in Far Avistan.
Pharoj: I am a great Pharoj but I rule over Osirion, the Kingdom of Abadar. Only the Cyprian of Galt claims rulership over the whole of Avistan. Unlike him, I only fight Lawful and Just wars. So I have not conquered Far Avistan and brought my Reasonable Laws there.
Scrivulus: I have spent weeks at sea, for I must find a Wise and Just ruler to approve my Pamphlets. Pharoj most humbly do I beg you. Approve them.
Pharoj: I am Most Wise and Most Just and Most Flattered. Present your pamphlets to be judged.
Scrivulus: Behold my first Pamphlet. I wish to suggest that Codfish, the Paladin King of Andoran, marries the Pirate Queen of the Shackles. They both share Common Interests and should make Alliance.
Pharoj: The Wise and Just laws of Osiron condemn Piracy but celebrate Marriage. I would hope that Marriage to a Lawful Paladin would restrain the Pirate Queen. But I cannot say I know either of their characters.
Scrivulus: Behold my second Pamphlet. I wish to accuse the Empress of Taldor of a Scandalous Affair with the Geryon of Stygia.
Pharoj: The Wise and Just laws of Osirion say it is right for the affairs of women to be of concern to the public. A woman must have a Lawful Husband not a Lying Geryon. But I cannot say if this rumor is true.
Scrivulus: Behold my third Pamphlet. I suggest that the Vampyres of Geb replace the Skeleton of Geb with one of their own. It is better to be ruled by Vampyre because they have Flesh and Blood while a Skeleton lacks both.
Pharoj The Wise and Just laws of Osirion are fair to both Good and Evil. Both Skeleton and Vampire may live in the Kingdom of Abadar, so long as they pay rent on time. But I cannot say which rules best.
Scrivulus: Three pamphlets before you, o great Pharoj. Choose which are Lawful to publish.
Pharoj: I cannot say! I cannot say! I cannot say! These are not matters of my kingdom, why do you confuse me?
Scrivulus: Why have I come so far from home, to hear that you cannot say? You are Wise and Just, how are you unsure?
Pharoj: I am sure there is another ruler whose job it is to do this.
no arcane mark, illegal to distributd – circulating anyways, but behind closed doors or passed around in coffee shops
