As you once placed faith in me, thus do I return that investment with interest: our work with the Carta was successful, and our efforts have yielded much in the way of agreed trade.

Itemized, received:

An oath to smuggle no red lyrium to Tevinter; any further knowledge of darkspawn with the capacity for speech; intel from their spies within Tevinter; the location of a deep roads passage hidden within Kirkwall.

We have in turn granted them:

Near exclusive lyrium patronage; returned intel, primarily from Antiva; sole right to sell pirated spoils; assurance that we will support swaying mercantile regulation in their favor; the promise we will assist in the tracking and dispatch of a thief; interference with Coterie dealings within Kirkwall; our word we will remain available as allies, should they need us in the future.

Numerous as our own assurances seem, many of these offers are fleeting and small. It will take little effort to see them done, and the fellowship and faith fostered will no doubt prove itself a far more valuable asset in the months— or perhaps years to come.

Beyond this, there is little more to be said: all members present performed their duties admirably in ensuring the Carta’s preliminary requests were met with all due discretion, and did not conduct themselves poorly during deliberations. Should you require further verification of my assessment, seek them out, and they shall tell you no differently.

-Judge Magister Gabranth
