@subsection(The Sword of Justice)

The haves have not given to the have-nots, and the have-nots most in
need of having are those who have the least, and as far as the haves
are concerned, this is the way it should be.  As far as the have-nots
are concerned, this is the way it should be as well -- they simply
wish to reverse the categories.  But occasionally there comes a man
with vision, who sees that the constant class struggle for luxury and
survival is an impediment to the progress of the race, and that man
becomes a symbol for justice throughout the world.

Such a man was Havilah Yossi, who eschewed the life of a guilded
merchant to become a social worker and, after seeing enough of the
depridations the poor were put through, decided to do something about
it.  He became known as the Sword of Justice, and for a long time he
maintained his crusade to share the wealth between the starving and
the overfed almost religiously.

Eventually, Yossi was captured by the Guard, and his activities were
curtailed.  But his spirit, and his dream, has lived on in all of you.
Hyacinth Goldenfield, Arpachshad Chaim, Chalideans Tuvan, and Benhadad
Zachariah -- each of you, for one reason or another, has taken on the
mantle of the Sword of Justice, and together you have accomplished
what no single man could hope to.  While your methods are patently
illegal (indeed, for the most part you have taken to robbing Guild
warehouses and shops and giving the spoils away to the unfortunates of
the Realm), your goals are noble.  You seek equality for those
punished by a system where commercial success is determined by
nepotism and the issuing of licenses, not by determination or
capacity; you seek equality for those who cannot seek it themselves.

But lately, you have also begun to understand that these measures,
while satisfying, do not solve the true problem.  To do that, you have
to do away with the House of Guild's monopoly on commercial
businesses, so that the unfortunates you aid will have the opportunity
to help themselves.  And over the next week you may have an
opportunity to do this, if you play your cards correctly, for one of
the bills currently before the Table of Peers is an ammendment that
will allow non-Guild sanctioned merchants to sell their goods.  At the
very least, if you can ensure that the war is ended, the possibility
will exist for them to go elsewhere seeking their fortunes.

You number among you several influential political forces, as well as
several damn good thieves; you are equipped for both short-term and
long-term solutions.  Although there are not many needy here on the
Castle, there are doubtless many valuable artifacts that will help
finance your cause, and there are also many representatives of the
House of Guilds and the Table of Peers here, whom it might be useful
to get to know and influence.  Who knows?  With a little work, you
might just put yourselves out of business!
