To the Miner of the Coal:

It is a pity that the "Jewel" has nothing to offer except Her children.
Shallam can keep Her goods and shops and even those who believe that
there is no such thing as freedom or right unless you hide behind a
facade of "Good".

I wasted my gold to sit here and write about a city which resembles
nothing of a jewel but of a piece of worthless coal. Keep your shops,
and the vampires and necromancers will keep your landmarks and
orphans...sounds like a good deal to me, no?
