Pinned up on all of the relevant noticeboards in the city was the following letter, which in turn would have turned up at every Noble estate in the city soon after:
The following families are being placed on a Notice of Trial for failure to meet State Tax requirements during a time of war and need for our great Empire; these being the Noble House Von Duerr, House Tyrannian, House Norwood and House Wolfzahn. We empathise with these families, as one can only assume oversight or inability to afford the cost of helping our troops abroad succeed in their quest to destroy the Elven threat, but the Law is the Law. The trial for House Von Duerr will take place on Saturday the 24th. Settlement before that time will nullify this call to Action. The remaining two Houses will be called to answer for their failure in dates proceeding this trial, to be announced. Prosecution will rest on the shoulders of the Finance Minister in conjunction with the Hightower Order.
With Spirit's Blessings and due concern,
Gertrude Bergenstein
Secretary to the Judicial Minister of the Lesser Court
