[Prophet]

Hmm. I am leaning towards B myself as I don't know much of anything about the Kashites and the Calvendocians have been pretty cool trade partners so far. I mean besides the possible poisoning thing but most seem to lean more towards Kiwi being at fault for that one which I find more likely.

In fact yeah I'm going to go B unless someone can make a good argument against B.

Lets see what they are offering first.

[Haspen]

Once again, you reject a deal. The Kashite envoy leaves.

Finally, the tiring day of audiences is over! You can now go and have a-

"My liege!" One of the gate guards enters the throne room. "There's a man calling Lech, and he claims to be representative of Alliance of Luthia, and he wishes to have an audience with you?"

Your courtiers are equally bamboozled.

A) "Tell him to go away as I have no time to speak with diplomats from imaginary nations!"
B) "Tell him to get in as I want to know what exactly is that Luthian Alliance of his!"

Could be worse, he could be a representative for the Henway

[birdy51]

B sounds appropriate.

[Haspen]

The representative of whatever a Luthian Alliance is is brought in.

"Greetings, Duke of Tven!" The man is wearing rather plain clothing. "I speak on behalf of Luthian Alliance."

"And what would that be, exactly?"

"We grew tired of being pushovers and having our lands raided by the Kiwi and Ceodwell and the Lametanians, so cities in the south of your Duchy have banded together! We know that you had military successes against the Eist and therefore we wish to hire your soldiers. The Alliance is willing to pay a hefty price every year."

A) "Sorry, but I need my soldiers to defend Tven and not my neighbours."
B) "That sounds reasonable. I will recall and send my soldiers to your 'Alliance' soon."

[Harry Baldman]

We're still in the middle of a war and I don't think the King is going to terribly appreciate us suddenly recalling troops to do weird contract work

A

[NUKE9.13]

A military alliance with the Luthians is the first step on the road to re-unifying Luathbas under the banner of the Houlandines. Which is clearly our ultimate goal.
But, unfortunately, we are in the middle of a war- we can't just recall our troops now. If they'd just waited until the war was over, I'd have said yes in a heartbeat.

You forget which refusal it is this day? Fifth?

The diplomat leaves unhappy.

You wait for a moment before calling for the gate guard.

"Are they gone?"

"Yessir."

You quickly run off to get drunk and relax after this torrent of talking.

964 AD, Summer

Good news! King Tinwulf II has have made peace with the Eist.

There will be freedom of travel for both Singularists and Pantheonists between Tven, Dahnia and Eist, and no longer will Eist Kingdom be able to harass any travelers upon your land (doing so will be a valid ground to request monetary compensation).

Your forces were sent back home much like Dahnian soldiers who have left for home as well.

King Tinwulf II have decided to incorporate the two conquered cities into your territory, so expedidentures, taxes and maintenace of garrisons will be now burden of your budget and administration. Furthermore, Kingdom of Eist will pay annual tribute to Dahnian Throne for next five years.

963 AD, Midsummer

The Spymaster happens by your quarters as you read a history book.

"My liege, my agents have concluded a detailed investigation into the quicksilver poisoning of your wife."

"And?"

"They've determined that the quicksilver used to poison the Queen was mixed in with some brimstone, clearly an impurity. They've managed to find the merchant dealing in cinnabar and its products, and he had shipments of ore mixed with brimstone. Further questioning of the individual have pointed his source of cinnabar to be the mines in the far west of the Kiwi Kingdom, directly owned by the Kiwi royal family, and in those mines they also procure other ores, like brimstone."

"So it is the Kiwis who are behind this!"

"Possibly. My agents unfortunately failed to find out who ordered the shipment of quicksilver to be mixed with Queen Stela's food, though. We've only determined that it was no one from inside the palace, and the questioning of palace staff was very thorough."

A) "Well, we're a bit too short of having concrete evidence. I will keep your report in mind."
B) "Send someone for the Marshal! It is time to repay the Kiwis for targeting my family!"

A. too bad we lack the option to poison some of them back...
