Infallible Messenger,769-03-02, from Stelsor to Grimwolde and replies
To: Lady Grimwolde
From: Stelsor Bladed Tornado
Dear Grimwolde, Stelsor here. Lots of news to report. We broke the siege on Point Sunder, and have met with the leaders of Metagalapa, and there has been some interest in them joining the river confederation. They are lead by ancient Chosen. Also there is a citizen of Nexus being held here in the capital of prasad know as Azrael, please arrange for the ambassador to insure his release, also look to mordant as well. The lords of Metagalapa were hired by an agent of the The Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears to besiege Point Sunder.

I can't speak for the shadowy figures who rule Nexus, clearly, but I have advised those who I trust in and believe to be appropriately motivated of the situation. Pray tell, are they held for some crime? Or are they hostages, pending some dispute being resolved? I must advise the envoy appropriately. I cannot speak of that foreign potentate, except she seems quite the harridan.
Well, one of the secret lords says he has a solution for the lack of a flying army, please come back to Nexus so we can discuss this in more detail, even though I can't really tell you who is the new secret entity.
As for the wine, I've asked the Ladies Cunégonde and Archibald, and they reminded me this year is a good year for quality, but a poor year for quantity in our Wine, we will not be able to make new wine for a whole season, despite even the Tang-Zen joining in in organizing work crews to gather the new crop. My concerns over the Tang-Zen leader notwithstanding, he acts like a true son of Nexus these days, and I attribute that somewhat to the influence of you and your friends at the peaches.
Lady Cunégonde reminded me, however, that the City has a consignment of two thousand barrels ready to go to Incas Prefecture, but we must reimburse House V'neef for their cost if we are to send them to Metagalapa. I can only see this working if Great Crane Transport joins Genevieve Estates and Stonewall Mercenaries and Transport in a consortium, so we can extend the money, forty talents of silver, to buy the wine or compensate V'neef, however you want to call it.
I await your reply on this matter, I hope you can send this most auspicious messenger quite soon, as he is speedy!
