Nexus Pact
To His Majesty, King Giradin III of Ustya, I extend my greetings and well-wishes to you and the esteemed citizens of Ustya. As the newly appointed Ruler of Tantlin, the capital of Stygia and the burgeoning nexus of interplanar trade, I write with great respect and anticipation for the future. It is with this spirit of unity and collaboration that I propose the establishment of the "Nexus Pact." The Nexus Pact aims to strengthen the bonds between our realms through unprecedented trade, diplomatic endeavors, and cultural exchange. Tantlin, under the protective gaze of my guards, stands as a gateway to entities from diverse planes. The pact seeks to foster mutual prosperity, creating a network of interconnected realms that transcends the limitations of individual planes. I invite representatives from Ustya to participate in the inaugural Nexus Summit, where we can discuss the terms of this groundbreaking agreement. The summit will be hosted in the grand halls of Tantlin, providing safe grounds for negotiations and celebrations. May the Nexus Pact mark the beginning of a new era, where our realms collaborate for shared prosperity and understanding. I eagerly await your response and hope for a future of boundless possibilities. With utmost respect, Governess Tantlin, Stygia
