Councilor,

I thought I made myself abundantly clear already, though it appears you failed to grasp the essence of the Proclamations. The most pertinent to your own situation are that:

- You do not own the Canal Port, Etorix does, and I govern it now in His name.

- I am now His senior Ambassador to your city

Obviously, we'll be meeting soon to discuss the reparations owed to the Shadow Death by your city, and then after that has been seen to, we'll be discussing a variety of topics such as trade and instilling the proper respect and awe for my master in your unruly citizenry.

Respectfully,

Ambassador Ignatiev Governor of the Canal Port
