Letter to the Emperor of Echya

"The two Empires of Attolia and Echya have long been bitter rivals as our merchants seek to undercut each other, fleets often engage in standoffs, and colonists fight to grab land at the expense of the other. However, in the face of the greatest threat to Europe and Viponism since antiquity, the Empire of Attolia is glad to see the Echyan involvement in the crusade. Without a doubt, Echyan naval support provides much needed strategic abilities for the crusade to take on the invading Dashkatar. It is with hope that our men will be marching side by side against the heathens and that this will be a new chapter of friendly relations between our two Empires and people. I pray that the Redcliff issue soon resolve itself so that Europe can join in a unified front against the foreign invaders. As a sign of good faith, I hope that you will accept the gift that I have sent. It is a relic of Saint Touryan who, as your Majesty knows, was an Echyan Priest in Attolia who cared for and miraculously cured those stricken with consumption. May our two Empires look after each other for despite our political differences, we are still brothers under our father."

[i]Signed,
His Imperial Majesty Lothair II of Attolia, Emperor of the Attolians, Lord-Protector of Centrix, Lord of the Attolian Far East, and Loyal Son to the Holy Father[/i]
