However, any colony is vulnerable at its beginnings, and therefore it will have to remain hidden as long as possible. Not an easy task, as there will be commercial routes and they could be discovered by D'shai sea captains, but doable, for a while.There are several points that require clarifications, however:First, so far you have not revealed your identities. This is fine for me....for now....and I can easily presume that you represent a government, or several government from here around. Or you are members of the great banks, and you don't appreciate the rise of a nation that is not your clients. Anyway, what is important right now, is: how far are you going to support this fledgling colony, and what will be the price you require? You promised a patent of nobility, and I can't fail to spot that unless it is supposed to be a title from somewhere around here, it will be a title regarding the new colony. Thus, you want to claim ownership of the new colony as a part of your nation? This is a really important point: the success of a newfound colony depends very much on it's level of freedom from any external factor. How much weight do you want in the government of the new colony?Second, it is not clear the amount of financial help that you are willing to lend. The costs for a new colony can quickly reach astonishing levels, unless properly controlled. Are you going to give full support, expecting higher return, or are you going to let us handle thing by ourselves?Third, no colony is made without colonists...and if you want to keep it secret, you certainly can't let the rumors spread. Thus you should collect new people and convince them that they are going to a wonderful land of opportunities, without saying where exactly...and not allowing them to return until the secret is spoiled. That is, unless you want that the new colony is just a military camp made by your soldiers or ex-soldiers. Ederin makes a pause, waiting for them to respond. It is clear that this is just the start of an in-depth analysis of this enterprise, like the analysis made by skilled artisans or scholars.</blockquote>
