Tarkuul has upheld its neutrality in regards to your organisation; No official of the city has to our knowledge willingly disrupted your trade nor revealed any information we know of your organisation. However you should be aware of your own reputation by now and take it into consideration should you operate your business within the Living City. Know that if your operations at market are deemed to be inciting violence within the Living City you will be asked to immediately halt all activity, and shut down your trading within the city for the day by members of either the Living Guard or the Sentinels: This request will be made for your own safety, and the safety of the denizens of the Enclave of Tarkuul.

Noncompliance with this request will result in your forfeiting your protection under the Nine Laws in compliance with the following Laws of Tarkuul: The Fourth Law (Disruptive Behaviour); the Seventh Law (Disobeying members of the Guard); the Ninth Law (Noncompliance with the Nine Laws); potentially the Third Law (Harming another being within the city) should any violence continue; and potentially the Second Law (Abuse of Tarkuul's neutrality) should you be deemed to be abusing the City's hospitality or disrupting the Enclave of Tarkuul's neutrality.

However, the Nine Laws apply to all within the grace of Tarkuul: Any attacking you for your trade activities will forfeit their protection under the Nine Laws in compliance with the First Law (Impeding another's path to knowledge); the Third Law (Harming another being within the Living City); the Fourth Law (Aggressive/Disruptive Behavior); the Seventh Law (Disobeying members of the Guard), should their attacks be ordered to cease yet continue regardless; the Ninth Law (Noncompliance with the Nine Laws); and potentially the Second Law (Abuse of Tarkuul's neutrality) should they be deemed to be abusing the City's hospitality or disrupting the Enclave of Tarkuul's neutrality.

The Nine Laws do not forbid your trading activities, they forbid any violence you might incite with them. Should others be deemed to have attacked you unprovoked, your company has the protection of our laws and Guardsmen. Should you wish to claim that this warning, or any subsequent enforcement of Tarkuul's laws within Tarkuul's sovereignty is an act of tyranny and disruptive of any perceived right to free trade, remember: These are the laws of Tarkuul.

Beyond that: Trade as thou wilt.

To whom it may concern, and most notably addressed tothe mindless hordes that seek us harm,
The defenders of justice and law
We at Dagger's Double do not enjoy having to defend our assets and lives so heavily to such an extent
Use our trading to incite trouble
that sections of the woods, and our property, is harmed. We would rather not have to slay a small army of fifteen to twenty people at once given an average of three members are present at sites. -and while our people may be able to take you on five to one and still win, we would rather you cease trying tomurder our
Make our trade company fallow laws
personnel for the 'crime' of placing up wooden signs in the woods,
Murdering those tiring to uphold laws.

or the 'crime' of buying and selling wares with travelers. Are you really fighting to the death to stop us
Killing travelers who wont fallow your made up laws.
from trading freely? What about the witch who lives in the hut, clearly selling wares in the woods, or the gnome in the cave, another 'mercantile' offender.

Those merchants fallow laws and are in designated places of sale.

We believe in the principle of free trade, not tyrannical edicts from an Archdruid of a non-existent grove gone mad. Also important to note, it seems as of to date, not a single druid has physically stood against us, merely one ranger 'captain'. Captain of what, I ask.

Ranger captain of the grove, defender of the forest, and honorary dale militia. In case you needed to be aware.

In an effort to dispel any lingering rumors, it's hard to be a 'bandit' when no one is robbed, and hard to be a 'slaver' when no slaves are taken. Such are the lies and murmurings of individuals who seek to convince others to foolishly act for them. You are being misled and used with such, so allow me to set the record straight on company position.

Again I am forced to do more teaching, Lets start with bandit. An outlaw; a gangster.
One who cheats or exploits others.
Next slaver, A person who holds one against there will or claims ownership of another s person.Oh like holding peoples thats pretty much claiming ownership.

The million gold cost was, as per my previous letter, to allow Crow to once more do business with our trading company as a result of his attacks on our personnel he has been barred. Such was never applied to his corpse, as evident as he still yet is free and walks not in our possession. A property damage fine of a mere ten-thousand coin was placed to release the bodies of those who sought us harm, such was willingly paid and the bodies released accordingly. For the small minded, I shall spell it out; willing business contracts, are not robbery. No one was taken as a slave, and therefore no slave is made. Basic, simple to understand.

Proves the slaver point.

Trade as Thou Wilt is our motto, and we stand by it, and we shall not hold back in these principles. We shall not fear having force used against us for the'crime' of tradein a supposedly wild woodland.

Again the crime of killing travelers and forest defenders.

To the horde, you can be defeated, you have been defeated, and you shall yet be defeated more. I advise you to cease attacking us so we can cease being forced to act in self-defense.

To you Azu you will be defeated the goodly folk where over confident in the first try. But know that evil tyrants of trade have been here before do you see them now?

-Azu

Ley lines, y'all. Just let me go wrangle up my cowboy boots and lasso us up some magic.

Yee-haw!

So when your twisting of words is corrected you just get Mad and take it down?

The note announing their allegiance to Di'rien is scavenged by a drowess in white and silver...

((Is it reasonable for your Drowess to be able to pinpoint one post, after all of them have been ripped up, defiled, and left in a bin? Did she know/witness what happened and where they were put? Does she scavenge through the bins all the time and get lucky, or is there some way she happened to know what happened to the note?))

Another note is left.
