Question of Codes

Warriors and Physicians have codes of conduct, dictated to them from birth most likely. Even the individuals brought into the Assassins have codes, coin and contracts telling them who to kill, and who to leave untouched. The Scribes have no such codes. It is a fact that I have used to my advantage for my entire life.

I will be using it, even as I open the new school on Verminium Street. True, the education of future caste members is important to me, but the foundation of the school is connected to the tunnels built by the Arians to evade the Cosian invasion. Ironic then, that I should be using the tunnels meant to avoid my ancestors, in order to do business for myself, and the government of Ar.

The work is progressing smoothly, and once the foundation is fully bolstered, the Builder will begin working on the inside. I've requested enough sleeping chambers for forty students, a common dining hall, great rooms for each of the four "houses" I plan to implement, and of course a library. My own quarters will be under the school, so that I have ready access to the tunnels, and it will be more difficult for strangers to find me.
