Honourable Agent Delgado,

My name is Praetorius. Myself and a few others of my faith, including priest Matho, who sent the letter, comprise the Council of Bane. We are recently formed.

In correlation with the Will of Bane, our group is here to protect Sanctuary at every turn, as I have previously stated publicly. The Watch, Spellguard and Council may call on us for aid at any time, and I assure you it will be lent.

One of our faith, Coronado, has openly admitted to us his plan for a military coup to take control of Sanctuary, and eventually mold it into a despotic military power, with the final aim being the destruction of Traensyr. He claims that this was his divine mission here, granted to him through a vision by Bane. Our priest, Matho, clearly rejects this as impossible.

Furthermore, Coronado claims he is in league with a goodly number of conspirators, both in the Spellguard and without.

Thus, our letters and public notices. The letters to the Spellguard and Council were at first all we were going to send. However, if what Coronado says is true, there are many conspirators. Hence, we deemed it necessary to make it public, so that all citizens are aware of any possible treachery. We beleive this was the right move to make.

To reiterate, the Council of Bane sent out these letters and notices not as slander, but as warnings. If what Coronado said was true, then swift public annoucement of his plans was the first logical step in thwarting them. If people are aware of treachery, they look for it. If what he says is not true, for some reason, then his heretical views have been made public. This thereby disassociates himself from us, which is also advantageous.

It was by no means our will to slander the mighty Spellguard, nor associate them with the coup conspirators. We merely stated that Coronado mentioned co-conspirators within the Spellguard. Surely, by making this public, Coronado's fellow traitors will desert him. This was our aim.

I will concur with your wishes and make my way to the Tower at the next possible time. //will head there when I see you logged on

The Council of Bane is here to aid Sanctuary, and help protect it and its citizens. Our goodwill and strength is perhaps most notable in our charity program in lower Sanctuary, which will be commencing soon. Again, we are first and foremost allies of the Council and Spellguard, rather than foes.

I would ask that you at the *very* least keep a watchful eye on Coronado and his activities. He and his fellow conspirators are a threat to the city.

We are not a 'petty group of little men' trying to 'make a name for ouselves'. These are not lies, but confessed treasonable intentions. It was our duty to expose Coronado and his militant plans for a coup.

Our claims and intentions are very lawful.

Best regards,

Praetorius.
