Diplomacy Thread

[Subotan]

Alexandros Aigos was murdered by Kassandros, who was the king of Macedon.

But did you protect him? Did you offer your loyalty and soldiers to him? Clearly not, otherwise his son would be Emperor today and I would gladly serve him!

So it is this that is your goal! To destroy the heirs to the largest part of Alexandros' empire. First you spoke of dividing the Arche's lands, leaving Persis to us, and now you speak of destroying us!

That was a misunderstanding. By destroy, I meant destroy the power of the Arche in it's current state, not wipe it from the map. With retrospect, I see my crass error was ill-advised and beg for forgiveness that you will understand that that was not the meaning that was meant to be implied.

Theodotos, I will send a force to relieve you of your satrapy. Dear friends from Hayasdan and Pontos, this is not a threat to you. I do not seek your thrones, I seek peace and prosperity for all Hellenes.

Hah! Look hither! Instead of giving thanks to Baktrians for our valiant defence of Hellenes, in our constant wars against the Amu Darya, in either land, wealth or mere recognition, he has decided that such prowess and courage is a a despicable trait, only carried by the bravest and most skilled Satraps, and that we therefore deserve punishment for our good actions and intentions. Although we are still open to diplomacy, and hope that this Hellenic blood-shedding may be avoided, it appears that nothing can stop this warmonger from his dreams of conquest and oppression.
