Spinesreach,

If you are intent on ending this war with pen and paper, then I suggest you do it quickly. The Empire will offer no ceasefire while negotiations take place. We will yield no ground while you grovel at our Tyrant's feet, asking for an end. The next time I awaken, horrors will be marched into your city.

I speak for no one other than the Empire. What demands the others have for you are their business.

Penned by my hand on Kinsday, the 14th of Arios, in the year 505 MA.
