[i]Temujin Khan,
I understand that you have had many problems with diplomacy but I would like to inform you that the man who aggressed your ambassador is dead, slain by the current ruler of one of the kingdoms you are invading. I would also like to ask why you have not sought vengeance against the kingdom that destroyed Natayan. If you fear the Shadow they have somehow acquired the service of, I would gladly sell you weapons capable of slaying such a beast. I will not fight you, but I must ask that you allow me to harbor refugees from the lands you are conquering. I plan to invade new lands not owned by mortals and they would be excellent candidates to populate this new part of Nastrond. I will assist you in fighting the demons after my campaign is finished.

Sighing, Nieldun contacted Queen Marianna and King Fabricus.
[i]My Dear Fellow Ruler,
These are grim times indeed. While normally I would help you fight the invading force in your lands, they are simply too many and a far worse foe rides in their wake. The Domani are a desperate people who are looking for lands to inhabit, as such they are not above slaying civilians to make room for their own. However, they have decided to spare Sylvanyr and Nastrond as we were rather diplomatic. I know not what Sylvanyr will do in response to this crisis, but Nastrond will harbor as many refugees as possible. This is however, a temporary solution as ours is a harsh land. Therefore, I advise you bring as many supplies as possible. In order to fix the problem permanently or at least reduce it in the long run, I am launching a daring campaign into the Shadowlands. My smiths will be forging as many weapons and armor of Stygian Iron as possible for the assault. There is nothing to fear from the Shadows once they may be slain. If your pride prevents you from leaving your homelands, then I beseech you to at least let your civilians decide for themselves what they will do. Best of luck and may your sword hand never fail you.
