King Aven Arjen V of Ertia~
I am deeply troubled by the issues in the Eastern part of our Empire. The forces that rise against Imperial peace, prosperity, and welfare are alarming. We must remain steadfast in our dedication to the principles of this great Empire, and the the principles of the people of our realms.
I can confirm reports of an alliance between Östlæd and South Ertia. According to our forces that retreated from Skovgaard, it appears that the Halig Frecan intends to lay the groundwork for an invasion of Caecca as well. Our spies also report that many weapons, supplies, and Haligchnihten were sent to Florae to assist with the South Ertian war effort.
From what little news I can get via sea, I gather that an Imperial coalition is meeting in Secara to hopefully move north at an opportune time. I will need their assistance, as the Halig Frecan outnumbers the Östronweard by almost double at this point. Rumor has it that many would mutiny if a large enough Imperial force, in addition to my full Östronweard were to meet them face to face on the battlefield.
I am thankful for the possibility of receiving medical knowledge from Ertia. Much of the best healers in the Östron realms live in Acholm, and as such, I do not have access to their expertise. I have heard much of the power of the healers of Ertia - I am sure they will more than live up to their fame!
I shall forever be thankful for your support from my claim in the Imperial Court. The Kingdom of Ertia shall forever be a friend and ally of the people of Östlond. I hope some day I can say a close friend and ally of all Östrons.
Your words always give me hope, good King. Our Empire has endured much through its history. This is one of the largest challenges it has ever faced. It is through the friendship of our realms that we can overcome this obstacle!
Yours in Imperial peace, ~Ealdorman Cerdic Accynnafon
