Chapter 4

Hoisshyr admired the clever use of the Sultan's writ.
It protected the guild and gave them power.
It infuriated that he had no recourse within the city, though.
Even after seeing a solicitor, he found himself powerless.
One could not join the guild if one could not sell in the marketplace.
One could only afford to join if that one could sell in the market.
Where did one go to appeal to a higher power in the land?
Trading in Balator brought him to the cusp of True civilization.
It was there he read of a supercedent writ.
The Emperor's writ superceded the Sultan's. Galadon's Mayor's writ.
If one were to serve the Emperor, it could open the gates.
He could take the merchants' place of power as his own.
Perhaps he could even ascend the throne of the Empire himself..
