[i]Queen Marianna,
It saddens me that you will not leave in the face of death but I understand your reasons and admire your courage. Remember that a charging horseman charges to his death against a strong wall of spears and that the cavalry archer has limited range compared to even an old-fashioned longbow, let alone cannons and rifles. May the gods watch over your soul and may you take many of your foes with you to the Underworld. I salute you, Last Monarch of Wolastra. If you change your mind, please do come to Nastrond.
Your unlikely ally, King Nieldun[/i]
