<DIV>Greetings unto Centurion Gerold and Baron Chiang, my Rhoadd
brothers,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In service I remain,</DIV>
<DIV>Lord Ulrich von Brixen</DIV>
<DIV>Man-at-Arms to Lord Robert deBray, who is squired to Duke Aaron
MacGregor</DIV>

PM<BR>Subject: [Western] Missive HE Chiang<BR><BR><BR>> My dearest
Cousin, Baron of Bonwicke,<BR>><BR>> It is not so much that your
borders are unsecured as it is that they seem <BR>> to be creeping in a
more southernly fashion each day. As I did see the <BR>> dust on the
horizon of the building of this wall which you claim is so <BR>> small, I
felt it only prudent to dispatch a small party to investigate. <BR>>
Perhaps I gave them too much license and scope and not enough direction,
<BR>> but I didn’t think their actions were wholly unwarranted - well,
except <BR>> for the collateral damage done to good Gerold’s home. I
would humbly ask <BR>> that if you must build walls that you turn them to
the west, thus <BR>> defending us from the wilds of the Outlands instead
of barring you from <BR>> communion with your brothers from the south.
However, should you feel it <BR>> necessary to continue in this
wall-building manner, it is more than <BR>> apparent that poor Blacklake
and Gerold’s home has been vandalized, <BR>> charred, smeared with
donkey poo, and decimated enough. I, therefore, <BR>> suggest we adjourn
this dispute in the old spot by the lake right well <BR>> known to you
and me.<BR>><BR>> My dearest and closest friend, Gerold, I send my
utmost apology for my <BR>> captain’s enthusiasm in this wall-building
fiasco. It was never our <BR>> intent to annex Blacklake or your hall,
but my Guard is young and eager, <BR>> and we all know how the young can
get caught up in the moment and their <BR>> eagerness to prove
themselves.<BR>> And…they have this flag…<BR>><BR>> In
service,<BR>> HE Gavin, Centurion of the Sable Star<BR>> Seneschal
Trelac<BR>><BR>>
