*Sealed and delivered to the Office of the Warden of the Western Marches in Suzail, written in painstakingly precise calligraphy*
My Lord Sthavar,
I have recently returned from a ride into the Southwest provinces to survey the Dragons stationed therein and their positions, including the new outpost along the coastal road to Redmist. I would request your consideration of the following concerns observed during my travel.
The Purple Dragons stationed between Redmist and the Proskur Border are upholding a number of positions, sometimes only with as few as one or two soldiers. I would humbly suggest that thought be given to consolidate the Dragons into one fixed position from which larger patrols might be sent forth, perhaps consisting of two to four Dragons at once. I am sincerely concerned about the safety of our Purple Dragons who are scattered in that region and I fear they may be easily taken, piecemeal, by the Crown's foes. A consolidated force would allow each man to have more support and present a more difficult target to the enemy. Perhaps the old Silver Shield Hall could be refitted for those purpose.
I believe that my second concern is equally important. While we are establishing an outpost to check foot traffic between Redmist and the Crown's holdings in the Southwest, caravan drivers still travel freely to and from the City. As Redmist is now an independent state and not holding any alliance with the sovereignty of the Crown, I feel that unchecked wagon caravans from that city are a material weakness in the security of the Realm in the Southwest. Presently, agents of Redmist may travel freely to the likes of Suzail or Shallybrook without the Crown's consent.
I sincerely encourage consideration that all wagon traffic between Cormyr and Redmist cease immediately and that all Cormyrian chartered caravan drivers be required to change their routes to completely bypass Redmist.
You have my deepest gratitude for reading the words of a concerned soldier.
Yours in service, for the Crown.
