<P>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. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>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. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>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. </P>

Gavin<BR><BR><BR>> Perhaps, good Baron, you might have a word with your
wall-builders, as<BR>> clearly, they misheard your directives and built the
wall much too far<BR>> south, ON TRELAC LANDS! It was the duty of the Civic
Guard to tear down <BR>> such<BR>> an invasion of our lands. And worst
of all, it cut us off from our best <BR>> herd<BR>> of donkeys! These
prized creatures had to be wrested from the thieving <BR>> hands<BR>> of
men who were clearly from Bonwicke, as they rode in red, green and
gold<BR>> livery! I believe the Queen's directive was to build the wall to
the WEST,<BR>> to protect the borders of Ansteorra, not the SOUTH to invade
your <BR>> neighbors!<BR>><BR>><BR>> So say I, Lady Muirghein
