Alternatively, the Ambassador could seek a diplomatic way to put a stop to the Silent Manse by discussing the matter with their opposite number in the Delves.

	The civil service caution however that it is common practice for a Sarcophan enclave to contain a shrine or temple. While there may be political pressures that could be brought to bear on the Community of Silence, it is not in the interests of the Bedelaar Huisbaas to do so without good reason. It may also lead to a decline in relations with the Delves – they allowed the Empire to build a [[Bishop_of_the_Navigators#Cathedral_of_the_Navigators\|massive cathedral]] in their own city after all. For the Empire to balk at allowing citizens of the Delves to build a temple on land that the Senate ceded to the nation could be seen as rude, at the absolute best.

			After discussion, the Sarvosi Chamber of Commerce decided to decline the [[#A_Business_Like_Any_Other\|Bladgoud Tuiniers' offer]]. The ''handelsschool'' still operates, but it will continue to attract few Imperial students, and the business owners of Sarvos gain no additional ability to purchase narcotics.
