Skullduggery! Under cover of night, highwaymen have attacked a convoy of your traders headed for {0}. The merchants are shaken but unharmed, while their aggressors made off with a small fortune in valuable resources. Easy money—so easy, in fact, that it seems inevitable that more robberies will follow as long as such inviting targets travel the trade routes. How do you answer this brazen crime?
Our forces will be on the lookout for these villains. If they’re nearby, we’ll crush them.
No trader will feel secure traveling now, unless the empire provides patrols on the roads.
Steal from the empire, and we’ll steal from you. Or anyone else we happen to run across first.
Maintaining good relationships with our trade partners is worth far more than pilfered goods.
