[b]Throne Room, Kwedolobhakalle[/b]
"Jade! Jade!"
The call came from Vanjana's relations minister, who was running across the floor towards the throne. He was wearing a quite common formal suit, mostly white with outlines of gold placed wherever the owner saw fit. In his case, there was a ring of gold around the collar and golden outlines on his boots. The man himself was in his 50's, with common streaks of grey hair and a well-trimmed beard on his face. He was wearing a flat square hat, white and outlined with gold-colored lace just like the rest of his suit.
"Jade, the Cartographer's Guild is demanding payment for the map, apparently, they didn't like it when you literally ripped it right out of their hands and then neglected to give them anything for the entire season." He said, the thinly veiled jab being made even less veiled by his tone of voice.
"Then we'll pay them, send the Guild one billion Frya and have one of their members installed as governor on the next colony we create. Hopefully that will pacify them. If it does not, then we shall take every chance to increase relations with them. We don't want to be mysteriously left out on any other discoveries, now do we? I will write a personal apology to the Guild as well."
"Understood, Jade! I shall deliver the order! Ah yes, there is the matter of the strange vessel off the coast... the 'Mighty Hammer'." Said the minister, with some hesitation.
"Is that not nothing more than a myth?" Replied Sigfrid "A hundred years at sea, it is simply impossible."
"Those who claim to have seen it say otherwise, perhaps an investigation would be prudent? If not to see if it is true or not, then to simply pacify those who fear the idea of the myth being true."
"Well then, we shall send a force to investigate the area of our coast it was last sighted in. No matter what, we are not going to cause an international incident by sailing warships into foreign waters. I want one Frigate, and two Barques sent to investigate."
"Yes, Jade. That is all."

[b]Letter to the Cartographer's Guild, From Jade Sigfrid Halvar[/b]
I apologize for neglecting your great contribution to the United Vanjanan Empire. It seems that in my rush to plan for the New World, I forgot about you and the brave people who discovered the New World and generously brought us the information. As it is far later than would normally be socially acceptable, I have chosen to give you one billion Frya for your troubles, and I hereby promise to install one of your members as governor of the next colony we establish in the New World.
-Sincerest Apologies, Jade Sigfrid Halvar, United Vanjanan Empire.
