<P class=MsoNormal>Unto the Noble and Glorious Barony of Stierbach does Flaithri, your Baron and sworn protector, send grave news.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Yesterday Her Excellency and I embarked on a journey to the lands of Sacred Stone. We were accompanied by a handpicked team of skilled Stierbach negotiators. Our goal was to seek a peaceful resolution to the problems between Sacred Stone and Stierbach. In the end the discussions did not go as we had hoped and seemed to have taken a turn towards hostility. Sacred Stone made some outlandish claims (as they are known to do) and I cannot in good conscious allow those claims to stand. Their claims are so peculiar that I dare not write them at this time without sounding foolish. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>While we will continue to discuss the issues with our cousins from the south, I fear that we will ultimately need to proactively defend ourselves by striking deep within the lands of Sacred Stone. We have begun asking our other cousins for support should we need to assemble a force on short notice. Thus far we have received enthusiastic promises of support from all those we have approached. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I, your Baron request that all subjects of Stierbach and her proud cantons of Sudentorre and Abhainn Iarthair begin to prepare for the worst. Take these winter months to sharpen your blades, repair your armor, straighten your arrows, hone your artistic splendor and rest your tired feet. For when the snow melts I fear we will begin preparing for war. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Baron Flaithri</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Baron of Stierbach, adversary for War of the Wings V</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>P.S. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Has anyone seen my War Lord?</P>
