From reading your words, you've been secretly attending Drama classes
with the Bards or Earthsingers. Well, I will give that you can be
poetic, if overly so, in your writings, something I would not have
thought originally. But, in the end, words are still words...little
letters on a scroll or piece of parchment. Your 'ultimatum' is merely a
desperate plea cloaked in thuggish flourish, Ihsan, and the Duchy should
treat it as such, though that Lalitana's place, not mine.

I will say that should you foolishly decide to go through with this, I
personally will turn the lands surrounding Stavenn into my personal play
area, and you, unlike Antioch, don't have enough people to effectively
stop me. I can weather the 'storm' just find. I seriously doubt your
city can weather the true storms.
