[A letter delivered to Legate Marcellus...]

[A letter is left in Legate Marcellus' Care, to be delivered or not as he sees fit.]

Honored Legate,

As you requested, I've prepared a few letters for some of the Esteemed Ambassadors of our neighbors. However, it was made clear that we do not have an ambassador for Baz'eel - as we are a part of Baz'eel's demense.

As such, I figure I'll leave it to you to decide who this' delivered to, if at all. I've left it merely addressed to the 'Esteemed Representative' as appropriate.

Let me know if you need anything else, yes? I've written to Frostport, and will take a trip to Bafansi soon.

-Magistrate Graen.

Most Esteemed Representative of our Holy Sultan, Osman VI Maribid

I write to you now on behalf of the Mother, and Ephia's Well.

We march to war, to protect the innocent and the Sultan's lands from an encroaching threat.

Three armies are set to face us - A sibilant force, a warhost of the Thousand Clans, and the scattered remnant of Orentid origin.

We of Ephia's Well prepare judiciously for this War, and as such, we have a request for the Charity of Baz'eel. We have need for Baublium. As much as may be spared.

The Mother teaches mercy to the downtrodden, the weak, and innocent. We of Ephia's Well aspire to adopt these teachings, risking everything for the sake of scattered refugees who'd be doomed to death and slavery elsewise.

Your demonstration of these values, however, could very well shift the minds of many of these very same Refugees to align with that of Mother Baz'eel.

Should you wish a more private meeting to discuss the details, I am at your leisure.

Prelate & Magistrate Amenya Graen, Waterbearer.
