The Çerid greet you!

[Çerid Delegation]

The concerns of the Government of Alduria concerning the raider bands have been heard. The Household has laid these before the Vocal Assembly in Gultaj, with representatives of the unorganized territories in attendance, and several things were there noted, namely: that the ability of the inhabitants of northern Eura to trade among each other, not least the Çerid themselves, is inhibited by the presence of the raiders, who are egalitarian in their choice of targets; that the value of the land in the unorganized territories north toward the river would have reason to rise in the event of unmolested trade routes passing nearby; and that the raiders' activities constitute a stain upon the honor of the Çerid, which should be seen with wonder and awe across the face of the world.

These points were agreed by the Assembly, which by majority vote and additional demonstration of opinion has duly authorized the Household to organize several measures:

1. Using the recent occasion of a new trade deal with the Octavian Import-Export Corporation to our advantage, an amnesty of two Years of Unbinding from this date shall be extended to the raiders; this equates to approximately ten months in the Anno Nortone calendar, terminating on 15.XII.1672. Within this period, a band previously engaged in raiding may without punishment return to the lands of their kin in the Glittering Canyons region - in which we expect greater economic opportunities due to the OIEC's recent investment in silver mining - or alternatively may revert to some other peaceful lifestyle while traveling faithfully beneath the Banner of the Eyes of Taghli to show their intentions.
   
2. Any band that fails to do either of these things within the amnesty period, or which dares to slight Taghli by using Her banner as a deception, shall be considered cast out. The known presence of such a band near to Çer lands shall be grounds for the local Communities to raise militias and hunt them down. Any Community found to be aiding such a band will be subject to sanctions.
   

The Household hopes that these measures prove reassuring to the Aldurian people, and make it clear that the Çerid share their desire for prosperity unmolested by violence.

The Household has also reviewed the offer of the Government of Alduria to aid in the establishment of a permanent mission in Punta Santiago, and finds it quite agreeable. Likewise, the Çerid shall render what aid they can for the establishment of an Aldurian mission at Gejlak Beach, should you wish it - though it must be understood that our construction capabilities tend toward more traditional methods and may lack certain amenities.
