Oslo's Submission
Oslo's Submission was a document penned by the infamous rogue mage of Phesunlay's Mage Counsel which helped begin the process which would eventually come to be known as Hession's Peace. While two small fragments of Oslo's Submission are rumoured to exist in private collections, the largest portion of Oslo's Submission is currently a pile of ash maintained within a sealed glass box in the centre of Hession's Wedge.
Oslo's Submission was a missive sent from Oslo to Hession after Hession managed to convince the King of Phesunlay and the Emerald Crown to collectively align their forces against Oslo's splintered force of mages and soldiers in the twelve eoch of the Great Borean War. While some historical accounts state that Oslo presented the missive in person to Hession and that Oslo had penned the letter himself, an equal amount claim that the letter only bore Oslo's seal and that the letter was delivered by a soldier. Some less believed sources also claim that the letter was written in Oslo's blood, or that Hession forced Oslo to write the letter at sword point.
The reason for the letterès present state is not fully clear, though it is widely agreed that Hession himself was responsible for its burning. It is generally accepted that the letter was a last-ditch effort, by Oslo, to kill Hession and therefore continue the war. To that end, it is reported that the letter was endowed with powerful and fatal magic which had the sole purpose of killing the person who opened the letter nearly immediately after it was opened. While Hession was reported to have said that the letter "almost killed him", and he threw it in the fire to destroy it and thus end the spell it contained, the conflagration that consumed his command tent after the letter was thrown in the fire prevented any specific confirmations. Hession also is said to have stated that the letter conceded the war to Hession, and that he had managed to read such a passage before he was forced to throw it in the fire.
Given that Hession's Peace followed soon thereafter, and Oslo's whereabouts were not confirmed after that point, reports from those near Hession on the day are all that can confirm the events.
