K,

I will be away on business for the next week or so. I can be reached at Fort Mur for the time being, but should that change I will alert you.

Here is a copy of the notice that I mentioned:

[In an elegant and prominent font] House Decorona

Recruitment: House Decorona is looking for Guards, Soldiers, Spies, and Mages to serve Siamorphe's Blessed One. Good pay, and we shall equip you fully.

Buying: Any sort of respectable land in Upper, and an enchanted Halberd, along with a Mage Staff. Will pay good money respectivley.

I believe the leader's name is Edward Decorona. We should begin gathering all of the intelligence we can on his abilities and personal character. I know nothing of this 'Siamorphe' he follows. He could be Decorona's master or a deity whom he follows.

I suggest approaching him with interest in learning more about Siamorphe. From this, we may be able to learn more of his character and whether he'd make a suitable retainer of P's.

We need to have a discussion on the structure of the House as it appears to the public. I suggest that beneath P are perhaps half a dozen retainers who serve as his hands in the city. The two of us and whatever individuals meet our requirements. Consider the possibility of one serving as the captain mercenary group which would secure our interests elsewhere as a short-term goal once our property is secured and we have a viable source of income. Any further suggestions?

Conversations on the inner workings are likely best had in private.

Keep me informed on C's progress with his seat in Lower.
