Reply from Sir Faelric Dawnshade to Claudia Marque

To Claudia Marque, Proprietor of the Marque Trade Consortium,

Your diligence in reporting these disturbances is noted. The ambush you describe, whether by Valtharix’s command or some cunning manipulator, indeed threatens our joint interests. It is imperative that such provocations do not go unchallenged, and that our response is both swift and decisive.

Your proposal of joint patrols is acceptable, but understand that the Summer Court’s presence will lead these efforts. My knights and scouts will ensure the patrols are conducted with both precision and discipline. The Crimson Pact may support this initiative, but they will not dictate its course. Let it be clear that our cooperation is not a mere convenience but a demonstration of our unshakable resolve.

Should you accept these terms, I will dispatch my vanguard to meet your forces at Glimmercross, where they will coordinate with your representatives and begin securing the most vulnerable trade routes. Should any further ambushes occur, I will personally ensure the perpetrators are made an example of, be they Dragonborn or otherwise.

The Summer Court remains vigilant, and its will is unwavering.

In honor and duty,
Sir Faelric Dawnshade
Champion of the Summer Court, Bearer of the Gilded Antlers
