Nearby coastal towns send out ships and militia to take him down, but so far he eludes capture.

Bandits still were an issue, but as time went on, cities would not harm runners, even if from an enemy city.

A Late Thanks to Our Troops!
With all the fun of this last three day weekend, I think the point of the holiday was lost. I would like to thank all those who have served and our serving in our military. I would especially like to the thank the families of those who gave their all and were lost in the service of their country. Without your service, or their sacrifices of your family members, we would not enjoy the freedoms we have or even be free to write something like this blog. So, from my family to you, thank you for your service to our country!
