One of my players is playing an elven noble, daughter of an elven ambassador in the Rostlands for the nation of Kyonin. Last night she recieved some grave news by elven messenger.
She has been planning a wedding in game to an npc elven knight from Kyonin who is part of her backstory. One of the things I've required of her is that since they are both nobles, that the wedding be somewhat lavish and to ensure that, she has to work out alot of arraingments for elves to come visit their capital for the celebration. Basically I told her to invest the equivalent of 1 build point and it might possibly generate some economic revenue for her kingdom. She has been working very hard to form a friendly relations with Kyonin and I figured I'd spice it up for her since it was her birthday. I wanted to really play up the politics of her working things out with a mostly racist and xenophobic country. Please let me know your thoughts.
The Letter:
Most honored Ambasador Haldir Arolen,
It is with the most regretful sincerity that our enlightened and benevolent Queen Telandia Edasseril must decline further economic and cultural exchanges with the barbaric human settlement of Svenheim. In accordance with our traditions and most holy of missions, it has been deemed by the Winter Council with the authority of the Queen that treaties and exchanges with the floundering nation will be suspended indefinitely. Ambassador Haldir Arolen your pleas to continue ties with barbaric lands that have no cultural significance with the historic lands of our motherland Kyonin have placed a burden upon the crown. This burden you have inflicted is during a time of war with the region of Tanglebriar. Your questionable motives and frivolous abuse of the treasury to the benefit of barbarous humans and familial gains will surely result in an upcoming punitive council to discuss these unnatural and traitorous acts. It is by the authority of the Council that you are hereby confined to your noble villa in Iadara on pain of death pending your trial. All of your personal holdings and wealth have been seized until the trial at which time you may present your defense.
High Inquisitor Khalandill duly appointed representative of the Winter Council in service of Queen Telandia Edasseril, long may she reign.
Dear thingy.
You're in a war, you need all the help you can get.
Call me.
