I suppose the third city is not necessary for the peace. However, I still desire that you grant Nastrond a sum of wealth as yours is a rich but poorly defended land and ours is essentially the opposite. After all, while your people were acting in their interests so must mine. Furthermore, what is to be done with Highmall? 
Sincerely, King Nieldun[/i]
Shortly after, Nieldun tells someone to notify Highmall of the peace negotiations. With this taken care of, King Nieldun composes a letter to send to every warring faction on the continent.
[i]Dear (insert leader name here)
As you know, the Nastrondi are a proud people skilled in the art of war. I am offering assistance in your conflict in exchange for money, resources and land. This letter is also being sent to others, so the ones with the best offer in a timely fashion will recieve assistance. If your foe takes this offer first, please do not take it personally. Best of luck and may your sword hand never fail you.
Sincerely, King Nieldun Gildedtongue of Nastrond[/i]

In answer to the first letter, another letter arrives from Lord Grainwad.

[i]King Nieldun,

The gold should have arrived with this letter, ten tons of gold, I hope it's a good enough price for liberty. As for Lord Highmall, I would personally send ten more tons of gold for his safe return, but my advisors and vassals have told me that a man who causes this much grief to a nation should be left in peace.

While you may do as you wish with him, I ask you on my personal behalf that you treat him with respect, he is a old and very respected warrior throughout the continent and his family is a old and proud one, treat him with the respect he deserves.

With Respect, Lord Dorias Grainwad[/i]

As for the second letter, one quickly arrives in response a mere six hours later from the king of Gnyr Shalorn, who now fashions himself emperor and one from the queen of Wolastra, who is now in dire trouble from the Sequini armies.

They both offer vast rewards in return for the Nastrondi help, though Lord Braveshine, who arrived  now from his engagement with Vaalgrad says.

"My lord, the Shalorni want to put the Celestial Empire back together, so it means that we'll be their targets at some point in the future, so we should help the Wolastran, who are now in a real pinch." He says. "Their desperate, so they're gonna pay a whole lot more.
