Edict 1SZ-12-02

To the Helan, 

''We have need of interpreters and translators, the better to understand and communicate with those of other nations. As such, we want to know if any among you is interested to head a school, wherein such languages can be learned by Imperial officials. ''

''We command that you furnish us with a list of those Helan who will teach, as well as the languages in which they are fluent. As with all affairs regarding our guests, we will treat any who accepts with handsome rewards and the finest conditions. We must, however, warn you not to deceive us as to your skill; reply positively, by all means, but only if you have the wherewithal to actually teach. ''

''You are to reply to this soonest, whether there are or are not candidates in mind. ''
