Anklage und Urteil gegen Lord Lothian

[Nellwyn]

Dear Lord Richelau,

we're appalled! Lord Lothian has annexed Land or even attacked you? We can't believe that. He agreed in public on a ceasefire. Or do you mean by "moving orders" that he just moved his troops in some direction?
If so, why is that a problem? To our understanding "ceasefire" means that noone fights anymore and that no borders are crossed or no new troops appear on the battlefield. I'm sure, Lothian just withdrew his troops to his town, didn't he? Isn't this even a peaceful sign?

Your troops of course seem indeed not to have moved, that's true. Although, in the end,we cannot verify it as they are to close to your town. We don't want to allege that you gave orders in that way, we just want to say, that we weren't aware of your definition of 'ceasefire'.

In addition, we've already accept your conditions regarding the land (although, there are some problems. see below). So, we don't have any reasons to fight, haven't we?

regarding the problem: If we aren't wrong, Lord Conn wants some of the acres you want as well, but we asked him to speak for himself as we're here in a difficult situation and don't want to offend anyone.



kind regards,

Lady Nellwyn

Lady Nellwyn,

Lothian ordered tropps from his city near to the border.

Bad man would say he use the cease fire to reorganize his troops on the field.

Richeleau

[Nellwyn]

Dear Lord Richelau,

today, we received and accepted the goods you sent to us at a price of 7,500,000 GS. We appreciate your reasonable demand with respect to the compensation payment.

Padre Richeleau,

Well, it wasn't a lie from our point of view. It seemed to us that you didn't want any negotiation (by the way, the same you thought about us!). We were---as your message here shows---wrong in this point. Thus, we will appologize. So, in the end we were wrong but we didn't intent to lie.

I do not agree. I spoke from all points of your letter you calls a accusation.

As we said, we would revoke "all points of (our) letter" and we would agree on it that everything was a misunderstanding due to the language differences.

We, the Eburones, are proud and, first of all, honest people. We never intentionally lie and, thus, we will never agree on saying that we have lied because, then, we would lie.

So, if you don't want to accept our apology and the explanation that everything was a misunderstanding, we're stuck---unless you're aware of an alternative formulation. We really hope, that you don't want to abandon the negotiations and wege a war again due to this single point. But if so, be so honourable to wage a war only against us, not against Lord Lothian.


kind regards,

Lady Nellwyn

Richeleau

I'm pretty sure that he could reorganize everything a thousand times and, however, wouldn't have a chance against your troops. But we will write him a message and tell him not to give any orders to his troops anymore.

kind regards,

Lady Nellwyn

[Richeleau]

Lady Nellwyn,

I believe that you would never lie.

If so , I think you wrote down things by wrongly informs from others and without verification of this information yourself.

I would accept this as an alternative formulation.

regarding the problem: If we aren't wrong, Lord Conn wants some of the acres you want as well, but we asked him to speak for himself as we're here in a difficult situation and don't want to offend anyone.

The solution is quiet easy :
Land Conn gets the land acer he wants. As compensition I get the same number of land acer he gets there additionally in the east of the line from 64/6374 to 64/6378.

So I get the land acres in the line from 64/6374 to 64/6378 and all land west of it, without the land acres Lord Con gets and for that number of land acres Lord Con gets, I get compensation in the east in of the line from 64/6374 to 64/6378.

Pater Richeleau

[Lothian]

I still agree to a cease fire. For the sake of the negotiations I have not moved any military units toward the agreed upon border and have not made any hostile actions towards Lord Richeleau.

Lady Nellwyn will be continuing the negotiations for me and I hope we can come to an acceptable agreement soon.

Lord Lothian

[Nellwyn]

Lady Nellwyn,

We'll think about it and try to find a formulation which can be accepted from both of us. As we both agree on the same things, this surely shouln't be a big issue.

The solution is quiet easy :
Land Conn gets the land acer he wants. As compensition I get the same number of land acer he gets there additionally in the east of the line from 64/6374 to 64/6378.

So I get the land acres in the line from 64/6374 to 64/6378 and all land west of it, without the land acres Lord Con gets and for that number of land acres Lord Con gets, I get compensation in the east in of the line from 64/6374 to 64/6378.

Hm. We're afraid that then nothing is left for Lord Lothian.
We suggest the following. Lord Lothian keeps his original 7 acres of land plus the 6 acres around the second town as both wasn't in the property of any party involved in this conflict. This should be the minimal demand anyway, shouldn't it? We will not agree on anything which would end in less acres of land for Lord Lothian than 14 acres (due to unfairness).

kind regards,

Lady Nellwyn

[Richeleau]

Daer Lady Nellwyn,

1st ) I think the best fotmulation we could find, is that you wrote down things by wrongly informs from others and without verification of this information yourself.

2nd ) You wrote down here before, that you accept that I get back my Land that was previously my property. On this offer we started negotiations.

I have offered you, only to get back 16 acres land on Ithilien myself, instead of the 25 I have to get back. I think that was as fair come to meet for a solution, so please, don't say here is something unfair. I wouldn't accept less than this 16 land acres on Ithilien.

[... the 6 acres around the second town as both wasn't in the property of any party involved in this conflict.

Sorry to disagree. When the conflicts broke out all this acres were owned by Lothian, ansd thus now part of negotiations.

I expect your message how and when I get back may land you have assured me, soon.

Best regards

Pater Richeleau

[Nellwyn]

Padre Richeleau,

we've sent you a letter.

regards,

Nellwyn

[Richeleau]

All looks well, until now.

Under the conditions of the cease fire Lord Lothian move a trooptransporter near to my eastern city of Ithilien.
I regard such a procedure, as a break of the cease fire by this action of Lord Lothian.

Although I wouldn't like to fail the negotiations progressed that already comes near up to an end, I now have to attack Lothians trooptransporter to protect my city. I'm sorry for that.

This isn't to understand as an action to come back to the war. But it is to understand as a sign not to break the conditions of the cease fire again.

I want to end negotiations with a peace treaty, but I don't accept, that under the conditions of a cease fire troops are moved to near my cities or borders.

Pater Richeleau

[Nellwyn]

Under the conditions of the cease fire Lord Lothian move a trooptransporter near to my eastern city of Ithilien.
I now have to attack Lothians

Dear Lord Richeleau,

DO NOT attack Lord Lothian!

It`s just a small merchant vessel! It`s of no threat to you! Your troops
could easily handle any attack of this ship!

By the way, since your last complain about Lord Lothian, your infantry
units in front of your town have moved as well---you know that!

If Lord Lothian indeed planed to attack you first, he would lose our help
and protection. In that case, we would prevent Lord Lothian from any further
attacks by disarming his troops---if necessary with the help of the Eburonian
caste of the warriors.

BUT, if YOU attack Lord Lothian FIRST, then you will break the cease fire
and we`ll have to protect Lord Lothian from you!

Therefore, please, don`t attack Lord Lothians ships! There is no reason for any escalation!
We have guaranteed for Lord Lothians doings. If he did another severe mistake WE had to take
responsibility for that!


So say we all,

Lady Nellwyn

[Richeleau]

Dear Lady Nellwyn,

I move my troops back from the border , Lothian move his troops with a ship near to my town, that are different things.
But ok, I will wait and see what happend, no problem in all, but I will escorde his ship (with troops on it) and if I see, that he attack any land, marked by an other lord, then may god help you and him.

Best regards

Pater Richeleau

Hope I find all ships that I gave attack order.

Pater Richeleau

If Lord Lothian should annex any Land of yours or from any body else without an agreement in this respect or even attack any of your troops, he would lose our support and we'd take care of him. BUT we're sure that this will not happen. He will not stab a dagger in our back.
Up to now, he did everything to come to a peaceful agreement with all parties involved in this conflict. In this intention, we still trust.

So say we all,

Lady Nellwyn

[Lothian]

Lord Richeleau

What are you doing? That transport had nothing to do with Ithilien or this issue. It was going to Tandria.
I gave my word that I wouldn't attack you. I did not attack you so there was no need to attack my ship.

Lord Lothian

[Lothian]

My ships are sailing with military escort due to the pirates that attacked me in the waters south of Ithilien.
Please keep an eye open for any pirates in the area.

Lord Lothian
