Letter to Duke Nicholas, Father of Wysteria, Founder of the Magnificent Port Gallen, my Noble and Beloved Liege, from your humble servant and devoted citizen, Miss Liserett of the House O’Kleefe.
I pray that this letter finds you in good health my liege, for your prolonged absence had me seriously worried. Word of your return filled me with incommensurable joy, soon followed by great excitement with the burst of activity in Gallen. Our allies’ many embassies, still rising, shall help propel Wysteria in a prosperous future rich in trade, history and culture.
Following your return, I must say I was rather hoping to be graced by your visit although I fully understand your return was eventful and many matters required your attention. I am sorry to say the warden of Gallen rather neglected the East during your absence. With your return, I would be honored for my ruler to come witness the progress made in Chester-le-Ford, as well as discuss its future. I believe the town has much to offer to Wysteria; it is growing rapidly and it has, I believe, the potential to be a great asset to our treasured homeland, if provided with the proper trade agreements and with an adequate status.
Indeed, I believe that Chester-le-Ford is ready to be declared a County. While it is by no means anywhere near completion, the town is expanding quickly and already has a healthy population and a vigorous economy.
Many additions were made to the town since your last formal visit. You already witnessed the equestrian center, the Villa, the inn, the watchtower and the farmhouses. I am sure you will be pleased to read that Chester-le-Ford’s town hall is now completed with a main assembly hall which serves us as a Hall of Voices, a room dedicated to the local Laborers’ Council, a Chancellery, a Treasury, Archives and offices. The town also now counts crypts and a funeral temple, a trade goods and grain warehouse, a beautiful bathhouse, additional farmland and homes, a skilled farrier's workshop, a trades control warehouse, a sheep shearing facility and infrastructure. Furthermore, the town is now home to some fine warriors; experts in various disciplines; in charge of the town’s guards which ensure protection against the many dangers which crawl in the night.
I believe that Chester-le-Ford’s progress will be at your liking my liege, as I dutifully followed your excellent example in establishing fair trade, good workers conditions and strong ties with our neighboring nations. While Chester-le-Ford is not nearly close to the size and importance it will undoubtedly reach, I am sure you will agree that it is already worthy of Wysteria and deserving of being considered for becoming a County.
I look forward to hearing from you, my Lord,
Truly, your most loyal servant and fervent petitioner while I live,
Miss Liserett of the House O’Kleefe
Chester-le-Ford, Wysteria
