To Phrixus Akheilos
Voice of the King, now Self-styled-King of Coralan and Protector of the Great Rift in the Shadow of Darkness, Stalwart Against the Kraken
Greetings.
Lately you have sent companies to hunt me, and this one now returns to you defeated. I have in my custody, Androcles Thalassa, son of Kastor Thalassa, Self-styled-King’s-Hand, and should you desire his return I require the return of a prisoner of like value. Androcles is in good health and shall be kept so until such time as an agreeable exchange can be made.
Send word to me at the Imperial Post office in Rivain for us to negotiate an agreeable trade to be conducted at a neutral location.
In Service of the Incomparable Salt Sea and the Guardians of the Great Rift,
Signed,
Damaris Spindrift
Daughter of Diemos Spindrift, son of Mattmos Spindrift, son of Grimnos Sprindrift, descended from Pavlos Spindrift, First Guardian of the Great Rift.
