This time Castor himself wrote the letter.

[indent][i]King of Gnyr Shalorn

The Celestial Empire is broken. I, King Castor, do not recognize your claim of Emperorship. Therefor I do not accept your Casus Belli against Noatun. Even worse, your claim of Emperorship would give you claim over my lands. Are you declaring war to Sylvannyr, king? Further, know that starting a conquest against Noatun would mean starvation. No grain will flow from Sylvannyr to your people and I will insist upon my allies that they too seize all trade with you.

The letter was brief and stern. Written in regal red ink only used by King Castor himself. In it, he refused to use the word emperor. Maybe one day another great man would rise again. Uniting the kingdoms once more. Though King Castor did not expect that to happen in his life time. He sealed the letter with the stamp of Sylvannyr and handed it to his advisor. Who was to send it to Gnyr Shalorn. But the king would not sit idle. He ordered Lord Caledon, the High-Admiral, to start a fleet exercise in the strait of Turgai and another one in the strait of Valais.

The "Emperor" of Gnyr Shalorn can clearly see that his fleet would overmatched by the combined fleet of Noatun and Sylvannyr and such removes his fleet from Noatun's vicinity and sends a short and ominous sounding message via a messenger.

"[i]We shall remember![/i]"

However, as soon as this matter settles down, news of the war between Nastrond and Vaalgard arrive. After lord Highmall accused the King of Nastrond of raiding his land, he pleaded to the king of Vaalgard to resolve this, as such, the King of Vaalgard has declared war on Nastrond and is now marching it's armies to subdue it.

However, the Vaalgardi King, King Korain Grainwad has asked of you to use your fleet to blockade the Nastrondi port of Yakulla and promised great treasures should the aid come.

Your advisors, however, are skeptical of the chances that the Vaalgardi armies have against the seasoned armies of Nastrond. There is also the economic impact on Sylvannyr. Nastrond is the only producer and exporter of the rare and expensive Stygian Steel, blockading Yakulla would mean that your nation's trade would suffer quite a lot.

(Thanks to your help in the matter, Noatun has granted you access to their secret weapon. I'll PM you that secret weapon of theirs).
