The pox is gone but a different plague afflicts us.
A certain allegedly "noble" house indicated to the Li Halan recently that they would be willing to enter into an agreement. However these dishonorable curs used this matter to antagonize our noble house yet again. They added an insulting demand onto the agreement which had been fairly made then and fairly accepted. We had already begun to act in expectation of this agreement but when we protested the insulting new provisions, this perfidious agency renounced the deal they had entered into. Perhaps it was too much to expect basic decency from lowlifes such as these but this betrayal is still seen as a great loss to us and we wish our anger on this matter to be duly known and noted.
As messenger for that noble house, it is imperative for me to let it be known to the august noble houses that this is not the rumblings of a house on the march to war. House Li Halan will not be sending it's mighty legions to war over this insult, despicable as it may be. We will be invading no worlds because of this. For despite the slanders that some lowlifes cast, the august Li Halan are a family of the deepest piety and service to the almighty Pancreator. Those faithful to his will could not possibly cause the death of countless innocent bystanders in another bloody war. It is mark of shame that matters such as these have been the cause of war in the past.
While these protests may seem unwarranted, our noble line feels that the troubled times makes us feel that clarity on this matter compels us to be clear on this matter. Even if someone were to take our protests as a cause for war, we will show patience. Whether they act out of misguided, but understandable, fear or out of base treachery, we do not desire war. While we can no more offer an enemy unlimited license to attack our people then a shepherd could have his flock live among wolves, we can pledge an earnest desire for peace. Should an unfortunate conflict result from this we will still seek peace. Our mighty legions will not launch invasions or demand tribute but will repeatedly offer peace without demand. While we are ever vigilant towards the future, Li Halan's safety is currently secure, giving us license to show restraint. Only if it is evident that our patience is being exploited to prolong the war will we see the need to change course.
None should question the piety of house Li Halan but we have been greatly wronged. All should know that insults such as these are unfitting of those who would call themselves noble. More honorable conduct then this should be displayed.
