A hand sized clay tablet would arrive back to the Baroness, a seal of the former Queen is upon the front, the outer layer of clay must be broken away in order to reveal the message inside.
"Esteemed Baroness Kai,
It has been quite some time since our last contact, which was it retrospect, less then cordial. From what I hear though the grapevine you have moved up in the world, which is only strengthened by the fact that you are contacting me about trade routes.
We have long been neighbors, as we have been neighbors with Zalto and Lioni. It is an indisputable fact that can not be changed. However we have never been friend. We have once traded though Lionis, and though it we have both benefited. Opening up trade between our two countries will be beneficial to both parties, the hardship comes when finding out what it is either of us need.
-Hysteria Bellris, head councilwoman of Bellris.
