I happend to be by the knights camp this fine morning and saw a most curious sight. The slaver Reaper Charleville had captured a slave while she was inside the knights camp. After being captured this prey, katlynn Parker, asked the knights to free her.
The slaver was standing on the wall of the knight's camp with his sword drawn. He was promptly surrounded by aprox. six knights and one curious Magi. The slaver was orderd to sheath his sword which he did. After complying with the knights order he asked for 400 Dinar in order to release her. The knights refused to pay and after much talk another slave talked the slaver into accepting 300. Which she then paid. True to his word the slaver then released the girl.
This ladies and gentlemen of Ireem is where the story takes a turn.
After this slave was free no less than three Knights attacked this slaver who was still unarmed after complying with there orders. He stood no chance and was promptly captured himself.
After witnessing this event I had the opportunity to interview Jordina McGinnis the leader of the knights. Its is the position of the knights that the slaver was asked several times to leave their camp. I was there and can confirm that this is true. When the slaver failed to comply they choose to use force to remove him. It is their contention that they have a right to use force to protect their camp just as would any other group in Ireem.
I leave it to you good readers to decide for your self, if these knights were justified in their use of force.

What concerns me even more than the question brought up in this article is the fact that a prey was captured in what should be one of the safest places for them--the knights' camp!
Why was the slaver not chased out of the knights' camp, captured and *then* forced to release the girl?
It seems it was less of a crime to catch prey in the knight's camp than simply not leaving the camp promptly.
The only assistance Katlynn received was from her own sister who had to *pay* for her release. Three hundred dinar is a lot of money to the poor slave girls of this kindgom.
Why then was the slaver not made to return the girl's K$300 before his own release.
The answers to these questions are far more important to the prey of this land who depend on the knights for assistance.

Not too long ago I wrote about a similar situation where knights were looking for all excuses they could to please not to help prey.
The Palace is still looking for girls for the harem. So maybe it is by order of the Sultana that the knights are not doing their jobs so the palace can have a wider choice of girls?

well katlynn usually just ransoms or switches tags just for being capt, she has done it to 8 people that I know.. so her situation I can understand why they didnt help however, with that having been said... not all, but MOST the knights really dont do a good job, I see prey run through the camp chased and knights sit there, then the prey are capt in their own camp and the knights say "well nothing we can do now"... its a pity.
