Spheres of Influence: Alliance

Not too long afterwards, a courier arrives in the capitals of all Alliance states. The envelopes are sealed in wax and sprigs of ivy, the emblem of the Freed Bay Post stamped into them. The stamp on the corner, a lovely painted flax flower. The backing papers inside shine in the light, golden in color, probably mica. The letters begin predictably, the title of the leader, the name of the leader, and “Distinguished Ally,” and then they continue:

Good day, esteemed friends, may this find you well in your homes.

We are aware that since the last Alliance Convention, there have been shifts in the lands around the usual hosting. In this knowledge, that we would not wish to press upon those difficulties further, and that this is to be our first Convention as members in our own right, we would like to extend a hand to our fellows.

Formally, we offer to host the Convention this year. Bras-Tendues will be in a lovely state in the usual season, and has been revived in such a manner that we would be proud to have you all. It is not far from the traditional meeting-place, and should not make for a harsher trek than one would be accustomed to. We hope you will accept our continued good will in this manner, and will await inquiries, acceptance, rejection, whatever the appropriate case.

As always, wirh camaraderie and diligence,
The Council of Postmasters
