Translation letter 1:

i bring you news from the hominstowns, they are lead differently in each town.
The Matis has a king, however, they all have Marshalls, whom they follow blindly
with their shouts of faith of their beloved.
Such fools ! Let us see if their faith lasts when we unleash our.... However,
on with my report. The ones who follow HER are Most vulnerable. After watching them in
Fount last week, i feel we should take that root.

Till my next report Masrer (Master)
Your loyal servent
Shekry

See that it stays this way!
We have taken a look at your investigations and these pitifull twerps are ready to be subjugated.
It is their faith in these invisible things that make them weak.
Women in the sky, laughable! I have given the orders to all our
(the letter is very smudgy here) to commence the attack!
Soon, soon they shall all be our slaves!
Prepare to receive more orders soon on how you can corrupt these idiots from within their own lands
Letter 3 wrote:Hail Melkiar, Your methods of finding out information is attracting unwanted attention, we need to move quickly to avoid any more unnecessary suspicion. Move towards our goal, we shall see who are the 'conquering race'

Yup. I've tried a variety of ciphers to no avail. :(

We may need a hint. :p

V is the most commonly occuring letter. Typically, if it is a substitution code, that means V = E...but that doesn't seem to work out...unless the conde completly lacks the word "the" or "that".

Then again...I am probably the worst person on the server at word puzzles.

Yes, but notice how small the differences in the occurance of the different letters are. Usually normal texts have a lot of E, S, A, R, and T, but very few X, Q, or Z. This text in comparison has almost an equal amount of every letter, so it's unlikely to be a substition or a transposition code.
