Diplomacy has not yet been adopted.
 

I take my quill in disbelief; for on the one hand I had thought the eastern realm was in a rough process pointed upon the stabilizing of the whole sphere. And on the other, the full display of my guillability is put upon the songs and swords of so many people. In my 49 years of living, a great number of days have been spent in the tireless pursuit of communicative clarity between the Sovereigns of States, enforced by manifest cooperation towards projects of faith, infrastructure, economic innovation, and countless else.

 

Frightened and surprised I am then, when on return from seclusion, I find my native state under the oppression of neighbors all. It would be thought that iblees himself had taken the reigns of our Sovereign Throne, Gott-Forbid. But investigating the matter myself, it shows true that our Court is still, in fearing of God, SILASIAN: deserving of the respects due to it’s Sovereignty.

In combination of these factors, it ought to be, that council is sought, or discussion had by emissaries or visitation, if matters urgent to life and death were in need of urgent discussion.

AND YET…

Without the grace of a singular envoy, a presence from sovereign to sovereign, factions all around enact policies whose result necessitates our destruction. And so dumbfounded I am, when the parties sworn to our cooperation (and ulterior factions intent upon our subjugation) send armed hosts to our villages in violation of treaties signed in friendship under God. The community has indeed taken a stance of DIS-unity in sight of all who observe. 

 

Nevertheless, the life’s efforts of a fervent servant ought not go to waste; my death, if it be near, make my corpse the seed of a new diplomatic culture, bearing fruit in its due season, neither to hide from the light of day, nor ever to abandon good faith.

Alliance has not yet been meant.
 

Birds and letters and decrees from all around speak boastingly, unified in their instantaneous escalation. “For some races, this comes as a natural urge”. Some and others will speak of natures; I speak only to those back-trodding who move power into perverse incentive, Those who betray pact and speak with cloven tongues upon those whose trust you have broken - you are traitors to virtue entirely. 

 

Having trusted in the highest sense that sovereigns would be true to their word, as we have been, my surprise adheres to pain. I stand with a Sylvan State which holds to itself an accolade as rare as it is trustworthy; That we have in our history, neither launched, nor sustained a war of offense against another Sovereign (save our excursions against darkspawn in various regions). Believing in the trust placed upon our “allies”, I believed our trade routes and fishing boats to be secure. Yet it is this same network of States surrounding ourselves which declares after our dissolution. A heartbreaking shame, little able to put to word.

 

Let there not be criticism without solution, for this is the form of rabble-rousing and nonsense. Take these following words as a display of the proper conduct between states upon the arising of imminent concerns.

 

The process of resolution regarding an unfavorable policy ought primarily to occur between the Diplomatic Councils of Sovereigns, if not the Sovereigns themselves. In whichever words convey the just purpose, envoys ought to be sent to the court of the party of interest, prepared to represent the interests and concerns of the sending Crown. This not only shows the proper respect, but also ensures that a direct communication with the sovereign reveals their thought processes. In addition, the council and courtiers of the recipient will no doubt have utterances spoken at their pleasure, and the beliefs of the populace as well as the leading figures will be known.

 

After discussion of clarity between the representative of one crown to another, then comes the establishment of negotiations of terms amicable to both realms will be put forth in public pact, or kept private, at the discretion of the signatories. In the case of a failure of negotiation, external assistance ought to be sought in the mediation of concerns; a neutral party providing in some way, assistance to the negotiation of policies to be enacted by the constituent parties.

After the resolution of issues between the Sovereigns, populations ought to return to favorable attitudes, especially with regards to completing projects inspired by their joint interest.

Faith, still, has not yet been kept.
 

Where is the forgiveness you are commanded to by God? Where is the patience? Where the fairness?

 

The armed hosts speaking ruse of ‘cannondom’ and ‘brotherhood’ compose a song of equal parts amusement and offense. They must march for a different power, an altogether inferior ‘god’ which guides their swords against forests of peace, and farmlands of cheerful ilk. The God of Silasia bids that his servants use violence as a policy of last resort, after the arts of diplomacy and the enticements of compromise have been exhausted. And our God is better than yours.

Is your “god” you speak of truly with you, if its temples are abandoned by its servants to seek conquests? Ours is a God who defends the honored, the true, the proudly oppressed. We pray that forgiveness will befall the more kind–hearted of our past allies; just as we have forgiven some who, in past lives, were ill-intentioned.
If we in our State have claimed redemption by forgiveness, our citizenry ought to see the same. 

 

If banditry was a sufficient cause for war, many other states would have been marched upon in years past, or many groups would have been sanctioned… but all were up to now, met with silence (this must not go ignored, for I have taken the matter to myself thoroughly in recent times). Therefore, it is not disregarded that all of States aggressing against Silasia do so in conjunction with a great number of factions who seek our domination for the sake of empire. These same groups happen to have a great influence with the councils of the states declared for our detriment… whereas it is commonly known that the emotional masses are hardly capable of coming to a reasonable and just conclusion, it may be rightly guided to reconsider upon which side of this conflict one stands.

 

Ask youselves why such little time and such little communication has been rendered on the issue before these ‘ultimatums’ spew forth.

We call for justice.
 

For a second time, I send a call to canonists of all ilk, seek God in prayer for defense of the innocent forests, for we find ourselves under attack on every side by heathens, and schemers, and imperialists, and Good men under the rule of the Bad.

For the second time, jesters will beg for misunderstanding, sophists who do not read this parchment will cite it often: crying out “politics” (not knowing the nature of policy), crying out “heresy”. These are of a type who are always with us, and for them too, we must pray for redemption by God, who bestows wise cognition on those deserving; and yet, to disregard their ramblings if good policy is to be reached.

P.S. You aggressors march upon 2 states who form public policy from an explicit desire to never do offensive war. Think about that.

 

With love toward friends, and patience toward enemies, Lothair.

Arch Delegate.

The observing spirit of Thomund shakes his head from the 7-skies at the comment; wondering whether it is a Jester or a Sophist who gives it.
