Letter to the Editor
April 21st	Zanaras
It took us ten issues, twelve if you count specials, to get our very first letter to the editor about our something we wrote. Honestly, I kind of wish I got more of these, though maybe not of this nature. Anyways, our very first "Letter to the Editor" is from Royal Arbitrator and Duke Ludovico Sforza of Giask. Sir Zanaras, I'd appreciate it if you did not twist my words in your paper. Any knight of Pian en Luries may present ideas for new laws or modifications of existing ones, as was the case under my predecessor. The only change I made is that the referendum that follows the submission is no longer open for all nobles, but only for the lords, who hold a representative vote based on the number of vassals under their command. A referendum that is not, and was not, in any way binding, might I add. Which he wrote in response to the line of: "His first change of the laws was to make it so only lords and above held the power to submit law changes." which appeared in issue ten of this weekly publication. In response I'd like to quote Article 2 of the Lurian Arbitratorial Charter. The following people may open motions to change any law in this document: High Council, Dukes & Region Lords. The motion will be presented by the Judge as a Referendum to all Lords of the land, who will have representative power. A majority vote decides the outcome. If you aren't in this group but wish to propose a change, speak to your liege & convince him to start a motion on your behalf. I'd like to point out that it doesn't mention that knights or landless nobles may submit law changes. It mentions that if you are one of those you must talk to a lord and have him start the motion, or submit a change, on your behalf. Thusly, it's not that I twisted words, it's that I didn't explain what I said thoroughly enough. Regardless, it's still nice to have our first "Letter to the Editor"! So Duke Giask, thank you for sending me your letter, and I hope more of you out there decide to send us your letters as well. Though I'd prefer it if they all said "Thanks for making such a great newspaper!" I don't mind if you just want to comment on one of our articles. Gives me something to talk about and lets you know not only my view on things, but also the view of other readers!
