To all the citizens, nations, and peoples of the Brick Seas! The nation of Eslandola, being currently busily prosecuting its war with the preying nation of Mardier, brought on by said nation’s ruthless and unprovoked attacks upon Eslandolan shipping of all kinds without the slightest discrimination, does this day (October 12th, 616) offer a letter of marque to privateers of the honourable nations of Corrington and Oleon (and Eslandola, of course), as well as to any free-lancers of good reputation, granting the captains of ships holding said letter the right to attack and take any warships sailing the Mardierian flag, as well as any warships sailing under a Mardierian letter of marque – which ships shall be considered as right and lawful prizes of war in all courts. The High Council of Eslandola shall further reward any captain that may accept this letter of marque with full possession of any vessels taken by his ship, as well as a reward of 110 gold doubloons for any Mardierian warship (or any warship allied with said disgraced nation) sunk or captured, to be paid by the crown upon proof of the fact.

October 14th, 616 To the citizens of the Brick Seas. The maroons of Eslandola have not removed themselves from La Isla de Medio by this choice, the King of Mardier, recognizes that his empire is now at war with the lesser nation of Eslandola. In this regard, all Mardier Ports are closed to Eslandolan flagged vessels. All Eslandolan vessels are considered legal prizes to a Mardieran Vessel. All Eslandolan settlements on the mainland and in the Far Seas are now legal targets of our military and naval forces, and extended forces. In this vein, His Majesty, King Alphonse XIII issues a letter of mark to all willing participants. The letter states that the captain may attack Eslandola’s vessels of all nature in the name of Mardier. This will be considered a lawful prize to all courts in all nations, as Mardier and Eslandola are at war. Along with this letter of marque, the king offers a generous reward for every Eslandolan vessel taken or sunk in the conflict. Captains may keep the vessel, with a clear title for 15% of the value of the treasure on board. Any war Eslandolan Warship taken or destroyed will also merit the victor 100 gold doubloons. Apply to your nearest consulate for a copy of this letter.
