A hurried letter with uncharacteristic brusqueness will reach the leaders of the alliance.
Friends.
I arrived in Des Accour with some troops because I had discovered something alarming. The investigators I had previously sent to Des Accour suspected more was afoot then what was uncovered with the murder of Duchess Tara and petitioned me for funding to further their investigations.
What they had uncovered was alarming.
Not only was the Duchess Murdered by someone who killed her to clearly deliver a shocked reaction. But the uprising happening right now was also provoked by likely the same party that murdered the Duchess.
Doubtless people now know of the woeful treatment of the Des Accour populace in the wake of the death, while I will make no apologies for the nobles responsible, we have uncovered evidence this fear and paranoia of a possible revolt was stoked by a third party, intending to paint the Freed Bay Post as a possible culprit for stoking the unrest. This prompted the nobles to sell off their assets and flee while also ordering repressive policies afflicting their populace, and the lawlessness caused by their absence stoked the fires further.
Indeed, while all this was going on, my investigators discovered surprising evidence of great organization in preparation for a revolt, greater organization than a loose coalition of rebel leaders in the countryside could easily string together, espeically not so under such chaotic and repressive conditions, implying this had been long in the planning.
It was this that prompted my decision to visit Des Accour personally with my promised troops to restore order in the wake of the Des Accour army's destruction in the war of reclamation,a s I was alarmed at the fear and paranoia of their nobility during this chaotic time, and given my own plans to marry the Duke's sister, I endeavoured to diplomatically calm the situation and find a resolution, while also preventing a violent uprising that is clearly being stoked by a third party.
When I had arrived one of my leading investigators, a personal friend, had been murdered in the dark, and the uprising had begun. I am writing to you now from the walled off Duchal palace where I have elected to stay to ensure a calm resolution to this affair without undue bloodshed and wait for Alliance reinforcements. We have all suffered a great deal from the Anti-alliance conspiracy that has already afflicted us so much, I am determined to not allow this to be yet another potential victory for these villains, neither by allowing the Cazou family to be murdered, nor by murdering the common folk of Des Accour. I hope you will respond swiftly.
Yours,
Geród
