The "Kingdom" of Dawnstar is to be blockaded by Östron vessels, such as the newly created "Carrack" class of vessel until an apology is given for yet another diplomatic case of hypocrisy from their "Empress."

The Imperial Fleet will keep you contained within the seas surrounding the Imperial isle. Shipmasters have but to anchor ships In the narrow straights to prevent your passage and madness from reaching further shores. You forget the Valyrian navy and the Dawnstaren Laivasto In your insanity.

You would rather be aggressive than respect the Council? Foolhardy.

What a farce. There is no Imperial fleet. Has anyone even seen evidence of such a thing? The Valyrian navy is impotent - what can a collection of a few dozen thousand people that belong to wide-spread tribes who involve themselves little in foreign and/or Imperial affairs do against the might of a nation of a quarter of a million hard-working, educated, well-fed and zealous individuals?

Östron ships let a barrage of fire charges against the one Dawnstar vessel in the area as another convoy of Östron carracks pass through the upper Valyrian sea:

This wanton agression in response to a "sleight" reflects more poorly upon you than the words of any noble.

Dawnstar literally issued a blockade of a major "Imperial" thoroughfare. Östlaed has not restricted the movement or trade of any nation who did not take aggressive action first.

Where was Dawnstar, GRHH, Kaine when Queen Kytha was killed in Pyrencia?

The hypocrisy over the death of one non-noble Thane and for the slight alteration of one law (preventing heretical shrines) - back to its original form under my father's early reign - is incredible!

This violence is madness! I cannot remember a time when two nations have succumbed to such naval warfare. Has there been a declaration of war on either sides? Ertia will not stand by and watch a fellow member of the Council be attacked so brutally.

Recognising the kingship of Dawnstar as divine is my only requisite for this signing. You have a deal in the interest of stopping lives being lost as befits a Council Member and figurehead.

Your ships have had enough of a staring contest with my own.

Empress Samyrah Almandine,

By being a member of the Mercurian Empire, the nation of Östlaed already accepts Section II of the Indoles Carta.

I am glad that we can end this petty conflict before it results in more lives lost.

- Ealdorman Mark Accynnafon II
