[Western] Missive HE Chiang

[Tom Jenkins]

The dogs of war! I hear the dogs of war howling from the horizon, hungry and vengeful!
Oh, what a grievous error on the part of HE Gavin and his guard... One they will certainly pay for, in blood.

  Greetings unto Centurion Gerold and Baron Chiang, my Rhoadd brothers,

  Gerold, it vexes me grievously that your hall has been burned and your lands pillaged.  What did I hear?  the unburned portion of your hall painted with green and white checks? the dung of donkeys smeared on it as well?  This will never do my friend, there must be justice paid in blood for this.  I have heard the rumor around the fire that the swords, shields and spears of Rhoadd have been pledged to Baron Chiang to aid in his cause, as he is also a member of our house. Perhaps Baron Gavin should keep a better hand on his "Civic Guard" if they are so young and eager for war, and the burning of your hall a mistake.  I will send further word when Rhoadd marches.

  In service I remain,
  Lord Ulrich von Brixen
  Man-at-Arms to Lord Robert deBray, who is squired to Duke Aaron MacGregor
  House Rhoadd

    Well, Gerold, looks like you, me, the donkeys and the rest of the Western 
    Region are once again caught between the unchecked ambitions of our 
    neighbors. Whatever shall we do? Oh yeah, what we normally do... kill 
    everything on two legs :)

    By the way, I saw some more of HE Gavin's guards poking around your stables 
    during the wee hours of the morning. Hope all is well...
