The DFI tries to create political trouble through actions like assassination, so if it were to do anything within the Azzinothe Empire, it would be because you wanted someone to be assassinated/discredited/etc for their - or someone else's - backstory. An agent might approach someone in your Empire (such as an ambitious member of the government) and offer them an easy route to power, but they would not reveal their true masters. Anything the DFI does is to the benefit of the Talven Empire, though not always directly. For example, an agent may help someone who hates the Talven Empire to rise to power, if the Empire would benefit from a war.

Much like the British Empire, the Talven Empire will fight to protect its trading interests, by defending and helping its trading partners, or by attacking those who end vital trade with it. This means that it can be involved in any form of collaboration that you would be interested in.

If you want to develop positive relations much further with the Talven Empire, you'll have to earn its trust. I am happy to arrange events that allow tis to happen. Of course, an alliance with the Talven Empire does not stop them from being cautious around you, so they are likely to continue gathering intelligence on the Azzinothe Empire.
