Lords of the East - Council Chambers

[phonicsmonkey]

Orloomo Bland receives a written message, frowns while reading it and turns to respond to the Seljuk.

Well, it seems you have gone ahead and taken control of Mosul, against our agreement which you yourself proposed, without waiting for our response and initiating a state of war with us in the process.

This is an extremely unusual and risky way to conduct diplomacy sir.

We will accept the 5000 florins, but in future we expect you to respect our agreements and negotiate with us before taking military action.

This is the only time we will allow such an act of war to pass without retribution.

Be warned.
