Isora's offer of Assistance to Glerigh

Background

The background of this letter is the Second Great Nivagran Host, in which a large host of Nivagran ships and men made landfall on Ethanga. At first not much of a concern to Isora Mezezi, when the Nivagrans' offensive in the south was stopped and they instead moved north, Isora began to worry about where they may head.

Content

The circumstances led Isora to write a letter to Glerigh Jason, king of Etha. The content of letter consisted of Isora outlaying the common threat to the both of them and offering to unify their ships under a common leader. She would nominate Xogeq Nape, the admiral who had so vexed her plans in the Northern War, as the leader of this force. Isora also makes reference to the Treaty of Jahamen where she reminds the Ethain king of his obligations to see to the mutual defense of their realms, as well as appeal to him as his "daughter," although in a more political sense.

Isora's offer of Assistance to Glerigh

Dear esteemed Father,
I would have liked to have written to you in better times; alas you know of the situation at hand. Foreign men savage Ethanga and yet draw up to the north. Father I would have you remember our obligation to defend one another in great times of distress. As our shared waters will soon be violated we ought to take common action for our own and each other's sake.
Father, I offer up to you my vessels. Several dozen new wooden constructs replete with crew I wish to conjoin to your fleets, that an end might be put to these pirates. I believe that your servant Xogeq Nape would serve admirably in command, father. I have taken the liberty of giving orders so that my naval regiments would station themselves in Nyf and await for your commands.
By our arms, Father, and by the will of the gods, shall we clear our seas.
