Zyzero wrote: After the rise in crime rates of Haafingar, the other Holds (Including Eastmarch and the Rift.) began experiencing a rise in crime rates as well. The Black Fang had been killing most perpetrators in the Rift. (I don't mind if some of the criminals are killed, just so long as about 60% survive.) There had been pretty much no crime whatsoever in Winterhold, so some inhabitants of Skyrim would claim it was the mages, but most believed it was simply because Winterhold was pretty much a dead Hold.

Louise wrote a letter to the individual Jarls. (Only Jarls, not anyone with any other title or position.)

"Jarl -Insert name here- of -Insert Hold here.-

''As I am sure you have noticed, the crime rates in Skyrim seem to have risen drastically in the past few months. We have been dealing with our criminals fairly efficiently, and we hope the Jarls have done the same. Winterhold has been relatively unaffected by this rise in crime rates, which has led me to a few possible conclusions.''

Either the mages of Winterhold are terrible thieves, with a lack of any skills of distraction and unsuspiciousness, or someone may be attempting to frame the College, but are underestimating the intelligence of the mages, and of us.

''We believe that the Syndicate may be the cause of the rise in crime rates. Perhaps the Syndicate is attempting something. The Black Fang would suggest some sort of action to be made against crime in Skyrim, but until we have agreed what to do, along with the Jarls, we cannot take action. We ask the other Jarls what suggestions they might have, as we wish to eradicate crime here in the Rift. After all, Riften has not always had a good reputation when it comes to crime.''

- Louise, Leader of the Black Fang.

(Cause you know. The Syndicate wouldn't be fun if they weren't confusing and manipulative. Mindf*cking, mindf*cking everywhere.)

Alliser Thorne read the note and began writing a response. Once the letter was approved by both Vittoria Vici and Eriksson Silver-Blood, the letter was sent.

''Most Gracious Captain of the Black Fang,

''As you already know, your mercenary company had already been employed by my people and I. Seeing as you have the ability to lower the crime rate in the Rift Hold, I would like to personally hire you to protect the Holds of the Eastern Reach, Falkreath and Haafingar and ensure that these criminals are arrested and the crime rates lower.

''Sincerely,

''--Eriksson, of the Clan Silver-Blood and the House Vici; Jarl of the Eastern Reach, Jarl of Haafingar, Overlord of Falkreath, King of the United Holds of Haafingar, the Eastern Reach and Falkreath, High King of Skyrim
