To whomever it may concern.
My name is Edward, I am only a new recruit within the fine town of Cove, and already the dreams of becoming a soldier has turned to a golden reality, but this reality was created only to me through harsh and repetetive training through my harsh but fair mentor. I have seen the letters and posters placed around and I must say I am myself curious to my mentors charges, all I have learned, all that I am, comes straight from this man who has now turned to a life of drinking as the army seems to have neglected him as he now will neglect his duties.... I am not here to demand or ask of anything for myself, only that perhaps someone without a biased view could look into the allegations against my mentor. As of now I am told I can't be his student anymore, as I am hoping to become a scout, and they will not have someone like him in the ranks...
I don't agree with what other people have written regarding the Corporal, as I know she is a fine and outstanding soldier, however I do worry that these charges against my mentor has been a false move perhaps not just on her behalf, but whomever has given her this information? Perhaps she chose to act irationally, I do understand the stress which comes with higher ranks... I am not here to tell people either how they should work, you are all wiser and more superior in knowledge to the circumstances then myself, but from where I am sitting, as well as the other ranks, it seems like Olchafa has been charged without evidence, proof or the decency of trial.. We are speaking of some kind of conspiracy charges here. I have known my mentor only for some months now, but a man whom works in illegal practises? I am sure he might have once or twice had a sly drink on duty, or tried to avoid some paperwork, but that is punishable by fines and the whip, not taking a mans dignity away in such a brutal and extreme manner...
I am now currently sat writing this letter, not knowing exaclty either where my position as his student is, I have been asked to seek a new mentor, however I was taught from him that loyalty is above any other quality in a soldier of Cove. How can I stand by idle while a man of such high standing and long service record is made into a hollow figure of what his past self was? This is the man who trained me, the fat mistake, into a man who can operate a crossbow in a combat envieroment, who has given me the courage to lead men on small patrols and trainings, who made me feel I belonged in Cove. I hope this letter does not fall on hollow ears, I do understand however I am merely a recruit and I should send this to a Regular or some such, however I feel strongly enough about this that I am willing to risk sending this letter to the offices.
Thank you for atleast taking the time to read my letter, I know it is not very Covian to beg, but I do beg, for the evidence supposedly to be shown, to be actually shown, so Olchafa can clear his name, stop his drinking, and once more become a proud soldier of Cove and my mentor once more.
Yours in a humble letter.
Edward, Guardsman recruit.
Student of Olchafa Serpernt.
