This was brought to Regent Elthar of Greyfell,
Leader of and spokesman for the Nation of Ergoth.
Clearly another intimidating mail by a larger alliance (calling in other
large alliances PLATO) to oppress the weak and small.
I feel as leader of such alliance I owe Lord Maltar a fitting reply.

In order to be able to offer a likeminded response I had to dig deeply in my
savage self. This the best I came up with :
Lord Maltar,
Lord Foul,
Dear musketeers,
Capt. bob,
oh yeah and Oleg, king of some forgotten island 70 provinces south,
no offence but I have a hard time understanding what you have to do with
this,
As leader of the NOE, and on behalf of the NOE I would like to offer you the
following proposition :
We want you to field your army and face ours. Before you pay homage to us
however, you will ride out of your ranks, present you before our army,
humbly undress and KISS YOUR OWN ARSE !!!
Then you disband yours and take them home, there is no place for you or your
likes on a field of battle.
I think I, have made myself very clear.
NOE nobles go and stand wherever they please.
NOE takes the offense of capt Bob very seriously.
( "I thought I could get away with it", C'mon NO WAY. )
Capt Bob was in control of Anniun, it was his land. By his own saying, and
indeed not pledged to anyone. when asked the Musketeers : they themselves
told us Anniun was ruled by an INDEPENDANT ruler. If he's independant, how
can he be part of Rimmon ?
(Besides how can an innocent bystander learn of his departure before you,
the alliance leader knows about it ?)
By right of conquest we will take possession of Anniun, and it will belong
to the Nation of Ergoth from that day forward. NOE troops will remain where
they are, or move on my command, certainly not yours.
If they think this is ground for an attack by Rimmon, so be it.
If they think they have to crush us for that, so be it.
If they think at all, they'll realise they can take our lives, but NOT OUR
FREEDOM !!!
Resemblances of scenes from movies are totally coincidential. Though it
helps to give you a fair image of what I want to accomplish.
Regent Elthar of Greyfell.
