THE CASE OF THE WASH MAGISTRATE
 

SIR WASH 

       Arriving in Brundisium, the city of pirates and outlaws crossroads of all lawful and illicit trade, I remember a lawsuit of a pirate who traded between Port Kar and the city of AR despite being at war passing goods between the port of Brundisium.

    I said while we were busy with our newspaper, we learned of an execution, which took place a few days before the scribe Sir Wash, then impaled his head outside the gate, as a trophy and as a warning to other citizens who do not respect the laws and attack the warriors.
  Yes, the city is commanded by warriors, and by their laws, we were shocked because in the vicinity of the spear with the bloody head, we had set up our Rack (newsstand), after having protested in vain, we just had to take back the newsstand and to leave for the great powerful and honorable city of AR, it was a dream of mine to visit that great city, but due to the perennial wars between Shendi and Port Kar, it had always been impossible for me to reach it, but now finally after the fall of old Ubar the new Ubar sir .......... had proclaimed peace with all the enemy cities until then.

   Arrived in the city of AR, the first thing was to introduce us to the Ubar an old warrior named Marlenus who welcomed us with joy and much interest for our newspaper and to put our newsstand on the docks of the port. After talking about this and that, I with Bryiana offered him the possibility of working occasionally as Scribes, I as Magistrate and Bryjana as Lawyer and of course open a branch of the Gazette of moon, He very happy will give us an office in the

tower of the caste. behind the great court of the tribunal, he told us that there was already a Magistrate who was reorganizing the offices of the judiciary and rewriting the new laws. and we were stunned when he told us his name .. Sir Wash. Bryjana and I looked into each other's eyes knowing full well the history of the Scribe Wash, but we remained silent in front of the Ubar.
    The next day we finally met the Magistrate Sir Wash, who after much insistence we tell us the story of him.
   He begins by saying that he had been Magistrate in Lara, but that, knowing that in Brundisium they were looking for new Scribes, he decided to leave to reach the city, but during the journey the Pirates robbed him of everything by throwing him into the sea, he was saved thanks to a log of ' tree that floated, until after several days I arrived at the archipelago of Cos, saved by a ship of Vikings going up the sea of ​​Thassa.

   Meanwhile, one of the Pirates, appropriated Sir Wash's documents and his credentials, presented himself to the city of Brundisium claiming to be the new Scribe, but from the first moment they realized that he did not have enough knowledge of the laws, and one day, walking for the city, I cross a free woman a merchant who scolded a city slave for not having knelt in front of her. He who saw the beauty of the slave and was already looking forward to meeting her in some fur, I screamed at the woman in turn, who called the guards explaining the fact and they arrested the false Scribe, after a long interrogation they sentenced him to death, by cutting off his head, and the latter would be put on a spear outside the main gate. The execution took place and everything seemed to end, but after a few days I arrived on a ship the real Sir Wash,

    Presenting himself to the scribe in charge, sir Liam, the elderly Scribe was adamant, for him the scribe Wash had been executed and there could be no others, but realizing the big mistake in secret they took Wash and took him far to the edge of the desert, ordering him not to return further into town, he was dead to them now.
    At this point he approaches with a passing caravan traveling to the city of AR, and when I arrive I explain to the Ubar sirMarlenus his story and he, after having asked the city council, who questioned the man and discovered that he knew the laws, I gave him the task as Magistrate of reorganizing the court and the new laws of the city.
   Bryjana and I were very impressed by this story, but since the city of Ar does not recognize the Brundisium pitati, they asked us not to make further inquiries, or to write reports to send to the planet council, but to forget.

      The story of Wash is exciting and I want my readers to know about this story, which will soon become a legend
