This document is the "diplomatic hammer" of the Gold Bench. When an allied merchant abuses the privileges of the Safe Passage & Trade Accord (by smuggling, tax evasion, or selling sub-standard goods), this formal notice is drafted by the Scribes. It is sent to the offender’s Home Stone to demand justice, ensuring that Ar’s Station protects its markets without immediately declaring war.
