Dear Captain Goldtooth & Prince Elodian,
The Imperial Court
of Elector Count Von Trapp declares WAR! towards the nation of the mercenaries.
After being improperly invaded by the crossing of our border, the dogs of war
have invaded the realm and now must pay. The punishment is not yet defined.
war will commence and the weak shall be punished. The Dogs will be the weakest.
After
the invasion of the Elven realm, that I found was due to the Emperor's Right
due to the might of the Imperial Army. I have stopped conquering the High Elves.
The border line is shown where my armies lie.
WARNING! If you attack
my armies without a declaration of war you will be severly punished. Such will
be that of the Dogs of War after attempting a bombardment of espionage on my
empire!
Do you not understand, Goldtooth? You fool! You have invaded the Empire and
thus have angered us. Now we burn to destroy you and do not worry as we will
attempt to crush you. It would have been better if you stayed home Goldtooth.
From now on Goldtooth, to send an diplomats to me, it will cost you one gold
crown per visit. Make sure it's worth it. Elodian, it will cost you nothing
as I see you as a competitive foe. You are an enemy but not a fool, like our
friend Goldtooth. You possess coveted Imperial traits such as bravery, courage
and heroism. These were shown during the Siege Wars. Goldtooth has none of these
for he is a money lusting fool.
Goldtooth, I will speak to you at the end of the year when we will discuss your
terms of peace. I will send my son on the mission to your capital, Paree.
Elodian, are you happy to make the Empire line the new border? I will consider
retreating back to the river if you personally field an army that beats me on
the field, thus proving your honour. But you must first prepare a declaration
of war and the army strength must be equal.
If we continue on good terms I will leave the border line unguarded as I focuss
my attacks on the Dogs. Have I not proved myself to all, my commanders are expert
strategists and to date have not once lost a battle.
Have a good day.
Elector Count Silvia Von Trapp.
The quill is mightier than the sword but cannons are mightier.
