All sound pretty good to me, Mighty, I'd actually like to give the sea-faring side of Zeelow some more depth, considering how important it is to most of the Western Marches.
The West as a whole is incredibly paranoid regarding outsiders and foreigners, their hyper-defensive nature has them entrenched in their miserable holdings in Zeelow, mostly because it's so miserable it is a true nightmare to assault. Highlands and mountains, a castle atop every pass. Currently we only have two Beringars, I'm holding off on making the parents to see what other people are interested in, but there's no doubt that word has gotten out of late of the King's illness, so the Beringars, being the cautious, safe sort they are, would not doubt double the numbers of eyes and ears on the borders of, and even within, the neighboring kingdoms of Lyris and Bliania.
We can talk turkey regarding more intricate mission details, as Henrike Beringar is rather ambitious, if your character was in her employ things might be far more complex, or sinister, than simply watching and reporting troop movements.
