Serp: Thanks for the Barbarians 
They have suffered long at the hands of those who would seek to subjugate our race, and it brings the mind much ease to know that they will no longer have to wait in solitude for the opportunity to reclaim their birthright.
And now, to get involved in some secret wheeling & dealing
Anabstercorian
[sblock]As you know, it is not long that the Scarlet Brotherhood has been able to openly guard the rights of its people in such large geographical areas as it is today. During our earliest periods of expansion, we learned quickly the importance and power of subterfuge as a means of popular liberation.
With our successes, we have been fortunate to be able to adopt a policy of greater openness, and we are no longer forced to hide our color in many of the streets we protect. Sadly, with this good fortune comes a cost, as well, and we generally find ourselves in possession of too much notoriety to engage our foes in the covert manner which is so often advantageous.
The Triumvirate Rebellious has lately evidenced itself to be the new leader in infiltration, and for that we want to offer at the very least our congratulations. Beyond that, however, we can say from experience that oftentimes situations arise which require access to a larger territorial advantage, or larger military forces; both of which our organization can currently provide.
In short, we foresee that there will be numerous situations in which an exchange of our various talents and resources should prove mutually beneficial. Such exchanges can be negotiated as they arrive; at the moment, we seek only a general pact of cooperation to set a stage of friendship upon which such trade shall occur.
The stipulations of such an initial pact, if you are interested, are open to your suggestion. At the moment, we seek only a commitment to non-aggression, to the sharing of relevant information, and to the respect of any more formally made alliances. The first is self-descriptive. As an example of the second, were you to receive prior information about an attack upon our soil, we ask only that you pass it on; we do not ask that you attempt to intervene strongly against it, or otherwise take action which would expose our agreement or compromise your other alliances. Finally, the third condition sought would guarantee that all actions taken in adherence to other existing alliances would be pardoned as such; for instance, if a pact made with another paction were to require our assistance in fighting an invading force, and your force or the forces of your allies were to invade, we should generally agree that such open battle between our numbers is an unfortunate inevitable, which cannot be allowed to damage our underlying relationship.
Lastly, we believe it is for the best that any agreement we come to should be kept secret, and always implemented in a manner which allows for the denial of any cooperation between our parts.
We look forward to your response, and are hopeful for good and beneficial relations between our two great powers.

[sblock]As you surely know, the Tilvanot Peninsula has long been a vital refuge for the Scarlet Brotherhood, and the race which we protect. Even as we continue to successfully reclaim our rightful lands, it remains an important historical and cultural center to our people, giving it the highest of priorities among our holdings.
It should be understandable, then, that we have a vested interest in maintaining friendly relations with whatever power controls the Vast Swamp, gateway to our finest land. With that in mind, we would like to offer a pact between our two great powers, of the following conditions:
First, that there shall be no aggression between our powers. This shall extend beyond the territory in question, to foster the trust needed to coexist peacably with a neighbor of such importance.
Second, that should you ever need assistance in the defense of said territory, we will provide it to you, pending its availability.
Third, corresponding to the second, that you should commit all appropriate forces to the defense of this territory, again pending availability.
Fourth, that no other power's forces should be allowed passage through this territory without our explicit consent. Likewise, we offer the same guarantee to you for areas immediately bordering this territory.
Finally, we would like to stipulate explicitly that this agreement shall only remain in effect so long as you maintain control of the region in question. Should you fail to defend it properly, all other conditions will be considered void.
We hope to build good relations between our two great powers. Please let us know of any other conditions you may require.
