Letter from Allomere de' Striguile (17 hours, 32 minutes ago)
Message sent to everyone in your realm (53 recipients)
Marshal Fal'Cie,
Are you seeking to claim that under your command the Chevaliers Hausos d'Auziwandilaz is so diminished it can't respond to orders at times it always has been able to? Have you let our prime army waste and dwindle so that it performs like any other rabble from any other realm, requiring a day's notice before it can even be dragged into the field? Are you really going to publically announce that none of the Chevaliers Hausos d'Auziwandilaz will be able to move with half the night still ahead of them...you're supposed to be an experienced commander, but of late it seems you can't even co-ordinate hunting down monsters...These orders are a punishment for your attitude and your unchevalier conduct. I expect them fulfilled, that is I expect to see you in Fields by morn, and Zerujil by dusk, and for the monsters to be destroyed by that time. If not, you will face further consequences, and they will be dire. March well, Marshal, and do as a commander should.

Anaris:
The language used isn't the easiest to understand, but this does sound like an IR violation.
Indirik:
Some additional background would be helpful. What message was sent that prompted this? What time were the messages sent? What times were these in relations to the turn change?
"I expect them fulfilled, that is I expect to see you in Fields by morn, and Zerujil by dusk, and for the monsters to be destroyed by that time. If not, you will face further consequences, and they will be dire. "
Are we supposed to infer that this message was sent 6 hours before the sunrise (i.e. morning) turn change, and is demanding that the recipient set movement within those 6 hours?
Anaris:
Yes, the message appears to have been sent approximately 5 hours before today's sunrise turn. (Today being Tuesday the 19th, for posterity.)
Here are the two immediately preceding relevant messages:

Marshal Fal'Cie,
Those things which are only monsters decimated an expensive unit of Duke Sarit who was only in my region to help me keep the local pygmees in-line, while chevaliers abandoned Candiels Fields instead of moving to support him, chevaliers in your army. I shouldn't be seeing a marshal making mockery over such an occasion especially when Duke Sarit's unit is a component in the Chevaliers Hausos d'Auziwandilaz of which you command, and of which you are directly responsible.
Now since you find this so amusing I expect to see you on the road to Fields within the hour, with a detachment of your army, to have those monsters cleared by evening tomorow.
I hope I have made myself clear.

Knight Hausos,
You have left it quite late in the night to be giving orders for a force deployment; may I suggest that in future you keep your recriminations and subsequent orders to a time when Chevaliers can realistically respond to them in full.
As for Arbiter of Justice's Sarit's performance on the battlefield, if you didn't want an expensive force wasted you should have given orders before the event, not many, many hours later, during the night. As for the apparent "Mockery", it can be scarcely be considered so, merely a sardonic reply to Sarit's most un-Chevalier like whining at the realm because she failed in her command against a band of monsters, which certainly isn't the Chevalier spirit of Aurvandil.
You have made yourself clear, and I likewise hope that I have been suitably transparent so as to create an ease of understand between us, and anyone else who has been reading this letter.

I request all those in Candiels Fields move to assist me and my men in Zerujil. There are over 25 monsters to be slain.

Nice to see the chevalier spirit, that none of those in Fields came to assist.

But of course Arbiter of Justice, they are only monsters after all.

Marshal Fal'Cie,
Are you seeking to claim that under your command the Chevaliers Hausos d'Auziwandilaz is so diminished it can't respond to orders at times it always has been able to? Have you let our prime army waste and dwindle so that it performs like any other rabble from any other realm, requiring a day's notice before it can even be dragged into the field? Are you really going to publically announce that none of the Chevaliers Hausos d'Auziwandilaz will be able to move with half the night still ahead of them, or that at the other extreme that is would even require many of the Hausos to move to rid the region of monsters? I shouldn't have to give orders to you for such minor events Marshal Fal'Cie because you're supposed to be an experienced commander, but of late it seems you can't even co-ordinate hunting down monsters and then you and you alone act in an unchevalier manner by claiming because you were not ordered to such basic duties you simply can't fulfil them.
Are those monsters too much for you? If Duke Sarit's own forces were so lacking in your view then why are you not happily marching out singlehandedly to prove how you could have bested them alone instead of complaining for being duly chastised? Don't make claims you cannot back up yourself, Marshal, or you will swiftly find very great humilation for every single failing you have.
What is clear is that Duke Sarit did not fail in command, for he quite willingly held the field and fought despite the odds. What he expected was support from chevaliers in your army, which falls to you to command, and to which with due dilligence and fortitude on your part we would have seen victory rather than a scattering.
These orders are a punishment for your attitude and your unchevalier conduct. I expect them fulfilled, that is I expect to see you in Fields by morn, and Zerujil by dusk, and for the monsters to be destroyed by that time. If not, you will face further consequences, and they will be dire. March well, Marshal, and do as a commander should.
