Since the rise of anti-Ishgardian sentiment within Ul'dah, standing orders have been distributed among the subordinate units of the Immortal Flames Main Brigades, while additional copies have been left at Grand Company outposts for the attention of enlisted adventurers. Each parchment is addressed to the various commanding officers, complete with official heading. The orders would be disseminated to the rank-and-file...
In response to a number of incidents targeting Ishgardians either residing in or travelling through the Sultanate of Ul'dah, the Hall of Flames has seen fit to disclose its efforts in its attempts to locate a number of foul relics of Dravanian origin currently distributed across the Thanalan region. Previously the unassuming property of Lady Barbarccia Valadis, these relics have been revealed to be malignant in nature. As a consequence of these items somehow finding themselves on Sultanate soil, Dravanian attacks in settled areas such as Drybone have been reported.
The Immortal Flames are neither compelled nor inclined towards the elucidation of these relics' significance beyond their inherent danger. They must be expunged from Thanalan with utmost expediency. Attached with these orders are sketches of relics that have been recovered by knights of the Sultansworn. Have your troops recognize and retain the details of their design. Henceforth, patrol objectives must be modified to account for possible Dravanian activity. Commence additional patrols if need be. Account for manpower issues on a case-by-case basis. Respond to incidents with the sole objective of destroying these relics.
The tactful questioning of Ishgardians who may hold information is necessary, including inspections of trade caravans either heading to or coming from northern Aldenard. The emphasis is on tact. The authorities have had altercations with interlopers from Coerthas who have ignored local laws in their single-minded efforts to destroy these relics. Our sovereignty must not be undermined, but neither should our foreign relations. Act with discretion and good faith; our objectives are aligned.
We have been in communication with several Brass Blade orders, to include the Rose, Gerbera, and Balsam. They are sympathetic in restoring the status quo in the name of normalizing the trade routes to Coerthas, and have been paid accordingly to augment our efforts. The intentions of other orders cannot be accounted for. Please act with discretion, especially when intruding on areas under their paid jurisdiction. In addition, the Sultansworn are actively seeking out the relics for their destruction as well; please assist them the best you can.
Unit commanders, have your levemetes issue and distribute new leves to the end of incentivizing adventurers in boosting our stepped-up patrols. It is recommended that irregulars of the Free Brigade are kept abreast of our activities. They are urged to seek out Acting Flame Lieutenant Kale Aideron, commanding officer of Sandworm V, a Bloodsworn unit with the foremost mission of adventurer liaison. This gentleman is connected to the adventuring community, and is aware of the identities of numerous independent individuals who have varying degrees of investment in the matter. His unit's barracks can be located in the seventh ward of the Goblet, fifty-second plot.
This must not turn into a Belah'dian magehunt. Our relations with the Holy See cannot be sabotaged by the efforts of a malevolent few.
