From the Desk of His Empyreal Majesty the King, an Official Communiqué to the Nation of Sombreland:To Her Majesty Alavaine de Cressa, Princess-Regent of the Kingdom of Sombreland: I am Banastre, Most Dread Sovereign of the Glorious Dominion of Saescia. Recently, the auspices of the Saescian central government in Williamstown conferred to me the seriousness of the present situation in the Kingdom of Sombreland regarding the political status of the Wenchuanese population, their current suffrage and the potential relocation of the affected population group. Certainly, such a problem does not engender feelings of envy or a predilection for meddling out of hand, and thus let it be so known that the deepest sympathies of my people lie with the people of the Sombrelandian Kingdom this evening. The Princess-Regent and the plight of her people rest heavy in the hearts of my countrymen, and we will endeavor tirelessly to help assist in the manifestation of a solution to the present crisis as best as can be wrought with the help of the guiding hand of Providence.
Dearest Princess-Regent, fret not over the peculiarities of these dark and consequential times, for the turmoil of a tempestuous night is often most violent right before the sweet tranquility of a lovely, serene dawn. Your people have assuredly endeavored mightily thus far to address the longsuffering Wenchuanese populous and the strain on national resources that their absorption into the Kingdom must have contributed towards. As a committed member of the International Coalition of Nations and thus your comrade-in-arms, we shan’t rest until this problem has been resolved satisfactorily to the benefit of both the Kingdom of Sombreland, the Wenchuanese people and the better graces of prosperity thereupon. We should wish to impose therefore upon you the pleasure of a meeting between our senior government advisors, that the Saescian Dominion might assist you in finding a satisfactory conclusion to this problem, and that we may help restore prosperity to you.I Pray That This Missive Finds You All, and Finds You Well. Oyez, It Is So Entered Into Our Records.
Witness My Hand and Seal This Day, For the Good of the Dominion
His Royal Majesty the King Banastre III of the House Conne-Strauss
Righteous Defender of the Faith, Sovereign of the Glorious Dominion
