The story:
"If you read those words it means you have successfully crossed the mighty sea and arrived safe at the colony, Huzzah! rejoice my honorable guild master!
This colony was commissioned by the empire, it has struck roots into the depth of this newly discovered continent less than a year ago! How marvelous, it is no surprise you have chosen this path - But don't think you are alone my master, others, cunning just as you are saw through this opportunity as well! Ships should arrive right along yours any moment as you will sure see... If you are to take control of this newly formed city you will have to prove your prowess against the other guild leaders as well!
But, my master, I did not write this letter and sent it from so far away just to tell you things you already know, no. Some words... Rumors, fly faster than wind. Do not haste to drive your sword through your competition, you might need those guilds to face the... REAL Threat.
As you were at the seas, monsters, abominations, and hordes of scourge have been starting to flock towards the city. The emperor is already informed, soldiers are carried across the ocean sailing your way but I'm afraid that for the time being you and the other guilds are all that is separating between the scourge to the city.
... Master, what will you do?
Will you cooperate with the guilds to settle your ambitions and difference aside so you could face together against the new threat?
Or will you exploit the hopeless situation? Sieges may be the best time for some to thrive...
Remember, The balance is ever so fragile. Saving the city may come over your own benefits - while exploiting the situation might risk the lives of everyone.

I know you will find the right balance my lord, I am counting on you,
The emperor is counting on you"
