[Western] Missive to HE Gavin

[tomjenkins]

That's the problem with having two great forces... eventually, there can be only one.

As for the donkeys, the very idea Baron Chiang would quibble over a few beasts of burden is ludicrous... I hear tell there is a surplus of asses in both Bonwicke and Trelac! Some have even wandered off into Blacklake and what remains of Crossrode Keep and began overpopulating those areas. Why just the other day I heard a bard singing of them! It was a most disturbing affair, I ass-ure you!

As a Scot, I suppose I'm a natural dissenter... With that in mind, I will gladly fight to see this wall / fence / whatever built, then in several years, fight to see it torn down. That is simply the ebb and flow of things, at least in my opinion.

  I am sorry, apparently I have come upon these communications of late and they leave me somewhat confused.  All I can ascertain is that there seems to be some unrest between our 2 great lands over a wall.  



  Was it not enough that we have lost many of the communities around us, that now two of the great forces left in the former Western Region should also come to blows.  Is the Western Alliance at risk?  Let us not cast stones (or bricks) at our former brothers.  We are too few in number and the outside forces are too many.  



  Still if trouble does find us, I am heartened by hearing that we have a new Don within our borders.  As a rapier fighter, I am most interested in meeting this new Don and seeing what he or she can teach us.  Can someone direct me to where this Don Keys resides?  If civil unrest develops, we may need his/her help.  I can only hope he or she resides in Trelac and has enough wisdom to not make an ass of his/herself over this situation.

  Powerful words, you speak, dear Lady. I have sent no one other than few 
  surveyors and some people to guard them from outlaws. What need to I have of 
  donkeys? I am a Republican (sorry could not resist the joke).
