I know that your time is valuable, so I will keep this missive short and to the point. I am Captain Vandermark of the Sembian Guard, a group of Gentlemen of Fortune originating on the surface. We make our trade in the business of providing honorable guard services to merchants, nobles, churches and the like in times of need, as we have done for over a hundred years.

Our ranks are honorable, decent men and women, trustworthy to the last. When a contract is accepted, it is seen through to completion regardless of the cost to the company. Though we are in the business of making money, we take great personal pride in our honor and the company code.

It would be my pleasure to sit with you at your convenience to speak of ways in which the Guard can help you, or even to simply enjoy a sniff of brandy over polite conversation.

Yours very sincerely,

Captain Bastiaan Vandermark Sembian Guard
