To His Holiness,

These are tense times indeed with the Hijeen fanatics mobilizing to the east and our own bastions of the Viponist faith being divided in secular issues. The Empire of Attolia is dedicated to fighting this crusade that your holiness has called for, however, recent events in Ubren-Attolian relations threatens to boil into full blown war at a time when Europe should unite to fight against this false messiah figure called Majdi al-Selim. In fact, it is clear that Attolia is currently the target of hostile and antagonistic espionage. For this reason, the Empire of Attolia would like to formally request for a second summit to help preserve peace in the west. As a sign of good faith and dedication to peace in Europe, the Empire of Attolia will take steps to de-escalate the situation and de-mobilize some of its army. It is my hope that the leaders of Europe can come together in these trying times. Else, the alternative appears to be a great war that will consume most of the known world, a fate that we all should fear with Viponist brothers at war with each other and the Hijeen invaders continuing to encroach upon Europe like a rising tide.

Signed,
Emperor Lothair II
