The loss of a magistrate is a tragedy - doubly so when the loss is in such a sudden and unexpected fashion. l owe you a debt of gratitude for your swift acceptance of Naritoki's assignment.
Naritoki reported to me personally every month; I had not thought the situation in Ryoko Owari severe enough to merit multiple magistrates. Naritoki's death has proved me wrong, which is why the group of you have been assigned to this troublesome city. As is customary in these situations, only one of you will have to report to me each month, freeing the others to maintain order in the city.
Based on Naritoki's reports and my own observations, these are the primary threats to public order in Ryoko Owari.
Until these mysteries are solved and the malefactors punished, I will expect progress reports on each of these every month.
