Protectorate,

There is little point in waging a war upon a territory already conquered, but equally, there is little point in allowing so blatant an uprising to go unpunished. We are generous, but not THAT generous.

You will not have a war. Instead, until these icons are removed and an apology is rendered, all Spireans are free to take the heads of any Bloodloch citizen as they see fit.

When you tire of dying, you know what to do.

In service to the One True King,

Whirran Mulariad Arcan-Tetzauh

Hammer of the King
