They know that you won't cede the territory, I even said that in my post.

As in for downright ridiculous, there have been plenty of absurd claims throughout history. Just look at the Treaty of Tordesillas. Not to mention thay Tin is rather ridiculous ad well.
[/quote]Well, then I wonder how did they survive for this long.
Dividing up the New World between two powers who already dominated it is one thing.
Making claims on land with no basis is another. Your sultan states this as if he had any legal claim over Zanshir when it's just one of their newest conquests. They just weren't fast enough to take it all before Yllendthyr also set foot on it.
The Tordesillas Treaty was unfair in many accounts but based on a valid premise. Your letter has no grounds behind its claim and pretty much is just asking for trouble.
I get that Tin wants all of Zanshir. I get that they're crazy. But Babur is supposedly adept in military matters so he may know that currently waging a war in Zanshir isn't the best idea.
Or is he rushing to capture Zanshir because he fears an incoming war where Yllendthyr may use the islands as their front base?
Well, that sounds like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Unless Tin conquers the elven part of Zanshir quick he's forcing Yllendthyr to fortify the island and put some decent military power behind it.
Then again, wisdom is a gift for the elderly. :lol
