Hello Emperors, dukes, kings and doges.
This is the message I needed to, and finally do, send to you all from the grand city of Yalen. The message is clear: we desire peace.
But peace under what conditions? Well, peace under most conditions. You can do, and in fact are encouraged, to rest your feet in the city. If you are pursued by someone with malicious intend you can always find peace in my city which I would be willing to have it sieged over turning you in.
In time, I hope the castle will grow into a prosperus, low-tax, low-prices heaven for everyone so both myself and my neighbours can benefit.
I have only one message for those that disregard all the good intentions though: pick up the soap, for we shall not surrender easily.
