THE WIZARD AND THE GATEKEEPER - OF CASTLES AND CONTRACTS

The wizards and the gatekeepers were unhappy. There were many reasons for their unhappiness. They worked hard but felt that too much was bei ng demanded of them. The poorly people's charter was resulting in unre alistic expectations, and changes in the apprenticeship for wizards we re putting great strain on their mentors. The wizards enjoyed their wo rk less and less, and it was getting difficult to find new gatekeepers . On the other hand, the way the system worked meant that there had to be plenty of goblins and the number of scrolls that had to be filled in was rising sharply. The wizards and gatekeepers tried to point out ways to improve things that would ensure that poorly people were bette r treated, but there was no easy solution. With the ominous sign that the recruitment of wizards and gatekeepers was becoming more difficult , an answer was needed- and soon.
