Esteemed council members,
As I am sure you are aware, the Bloodtusk clan of half-orcs and orcs have laid claim to the abandoned Grunstubble mines. I was party to one of their initiation ceremonies and was asked to relay their 'terms' to you.
They will guard the mines from any attack from outside forces, thus keeping one potential avenue of attack on Sanctuary safe. They will pay respect to Sanctuary equal to that paid by Sanctuary to them. Any who seek passage through the mines must either pay respect to Gruumsh or a monetary toll. No elves or dwarves will be permitted access to the mines, as they are ancestral enemies of orcs. Elves or dwarves seen within the mines will be attacked on sight.
Their leader is called Spear, and dresses in red and black spiked armour; usually helmed, I think. I have no idea of their numbers or ability to back up any of this. I can be reached at the temple of Ibrandul if you wish to speak more on the matter - I can probably get messages to them easily enough if you do not wish to contact them directly. I would like to point out that my sympathies lie squarely, as always, with Sanctuary and the safety of our citizens.
Ibrandul guide your feet and minds.
Fuinnellethen, priestess of the Living Cave.
