Dearest Maalon,
It seems a few people have been interfering with things. The outpost in the east was set under attack, but it is no real trouble. It seems most of the eyes have been taken off the southern front, allowing you to forward more men to the fort unhindered. I am not certain who specifically, is after us, but I can assure you that we are looking into it and will soon find and snuff out the problem.
As promised, I have aided in settling some of your unfinished Business. he Southern man, Sherkoz, will be dealt with, before he comes for your hide, and as promised, once we lay siege, I will hand over the lesser towns to you, to extend your business reach. Bree will make a good center of your operations, I believe, since it does connect to so many other places. I expect you'll have your end of the bargain delivered by the first spring flower's bloom.
One woman that I am making use of is Amrielyn, a local prostitute that I have been using as a means of ending a few possible annoyances. Once I am done with her, she will make either a good pawn, or I'll just put her down. It all depends on if she proves to be useful beyond a few kills.
The witch, Gwynedh, and I have resolved our mild differences.. We are now able to work alongside one another, even though I disagree with some of her methods, and her ego in general. With the pooling of all available resources, a lot can and will, be done. Send for me in Southern Chetwood, as soon as you can.
With high expectations,
-Shadow
