Kheta-Kedet/A Criminal In Kedet

Today, the alleged criminal Cannafus was found washed up and exhausted on the right bank of the Mistra-Itrw by ghast herders. Near death, he was brought to the Temple of Ib-Deben for treatment. His condition has stabilized, and he is being held securely and forbidden from leaving the city. Here are a few words from Kheta-Semet regarding the presence of such an individual within our walls:

"This message is addressed to both the Kedeti and the Baylarans. We have received the wanted notice for Cannafus and have taken it into account. Consequently, once he was treated, we took care to ensure the safety of both this alleged criminal and our own citizens, in the event that the accusations against him prove true. High Chief Estorrum, know that we shall conduct our own investigation. Regardless of the outcome, we refuse to hand this man over to you, for our surgeons have witnessed the barbarity you inflicted upon him. It is simply out of the question for us to allow you to continue such acts. Once judgment is passed, Cannafus will undergo the penalty prescribed by Kedet, as if he had committed these acts against us, rather than the punishment you intended to inflict.

I would also add that I am disappointed to see you engaging in torture. These are by no means "methods of persuasion" befitting a nation of Hekamwt. Consider this a warning."

Queen Kheta-Semet, Queen of Kedet and Queen of the Desert.
