Delivered via moongazer, sealed with a plain black waxen blob, the message finds its way into Thomas' hands.

Your Excellency,

You had me look into that little trifle regarding your merchants suffering somewhat, most unfortunate indeed, though the answer itself was rather simple. You see stretched across Tirth are various organisations that have always skirted decent society, a veritable smorgasbord of rogues, thieves, racketeers, and those with their fingers in all manner of criminal pies. They are undoubtedly some of the most resourceful, deviant, and delightful people I've ever done business with, and I say that not as a facilitator of crime, but from the simple stand point that we have all dealt with them in one way or another. A few extra coins on a cargo here, an extra coin or two on a shipment there, it is the price of doing business across Tirth, and in your case, it is the Galenthian Syndicate.

They are a collective of families who have their delightfully nimble fingers in a good many pies, and your efforts have undoubtedly upset them, and indeed the staus quo they had become rather used to. An unfortunate reaction of course, though give them time and they will undoubtedly adjust as they always have, for they are nothing if not resourceful, and one does have to admire that. You may not appreciate their presence, but they are part and parcel of life, and they do serve a purpose, a finer bunch of rascals you'll never find. I can always reach out if need be, but for now, you might just need to weather the storm, for I know you'll not turn back now, and neither will they.
