MESSAGE DECRYPTING... |||||||||||||||||||||||||| 100%

Dear Council of National Unity and Liberation,

My name is Don Draper and I represent an order called The Frumentarii which operates deep into the Independent Miners' Guild leadership. We've accomplished many wonders along decades of hard work. I'm not a man to brag about our success, but I'm going to tell you one thing, we are damn serious about what we do and we will gladly give our lives to accomplish the missions we are given.

We have remained silent for a few years now, going 'public' even to our most trusted allies isn't something that we truly wanted, but nothing can go on forever. By sending you this not only I put myself and my people at risk, but the whole IMG can be in danger if this message falls into the wrong hands.

The Guild's name has been trashed for too long and I'm here to put a stop to it. I have talked with my colleagues and trough an agreement we came to the conclusion that The Council will be most intrigued in what we have to say. The Gallic menace is here and has been like this for years. Bretonia and Liberty alone won't last much longer but we can make a difference. For far too long the Guild bowed and served the Gallics. We the Frumentarii want to say : "No more".

We know you are out there, fighting for your lives and at the same time for ours. Numerous other factions fight the Gauls either publicly or quietly, but alone they will make no difference. We can see the Gauls pouring through the gates everyday, reinforcing their lines as they advance deeper into Bretonia. The Frumentarii want to make an alliance with you and others as well. Only together we can fight off the Gallic invasion. Along side you we crave to be the voice of Sirius, to band together numerous other people under one cause, one idea. We will do our best to gather those factions and organize them as best as we can so we can finally make a difference.

The Taus are a very important place for the Gauls, putting pressure here would mean giving the people on the first front some time to catch their breath and counter attack. Our order has developed multiple plans for different scenarios and we'd like to share some with you if you're interested in this alliance.

Do contact me on this and only this channel as the Guild will serve no information about us publicly. In case you doubt us I will do my very best to convince The Council of the benefits of such an alliance. Our plans are ready and I can assure we won't come empty handed into this fight. We not only care about us but the people of Sirius as well, and we are sure that they can be banded to fight together against the Gallic Royal Navy fleets when the time is ripe.

Council of National Unity and Liberation, we would feel honored if you decide to reply and I would gladly answer any questions you can throw at us.

Yours sincerely,

Don Draper
