	Brother Arfrus, if the cargo of these water-craft is so mysterious, how can we even be sure that they be illicit?! How do we know if they are nothing more nor less than trussed up containers of [[Aelfants\|Aelfant]] ale (a substance which I believe ''should'' be made illicit, but to date is still the preferred and quite legal draught of many a collegium student)? Indeed, how can we be sure that you haven't been paid off by these possible purveyors of common goods so that you increase the sense of mystery about them?! --[[User:Nikos of Ant\|Nikos of Ant]] 20:04, 16 Jun 2005 (EDT)		Brother Arfrus, if the cargo of these water-craft is so mysterious, how can we even be sure that they be illicit?!

		+	:Even if the cargo of the darkships is otherwise legitimate, the fact that it is being transferred on the beaches and shores of the [[Dagger Seas]] under cover of darkness, rather than through legal and legitimate sea ports and harbors, shows that the trade is illicit. The darkships trade avoids legal sanction, and is therefore, by definition, illicit, even if they are carrying nothing more than ordinary baby baskets.
		+
		+	:Furthermore, there is no evidence whatsoever that the endowment of the [[Threel]]ian Abbey of [[Order of Mnerr\|Mnerr]] has come from anyplace other than legitimate sources, and the implication that I was a darkship captain is totally baseless. You have no proof! --[[User:Brother Arfrus\|Brother Arfrus]] 10:03, 27 Jul 2005 (EDT)
