The Çerid greet you!

[Isidoro Villalba]

6.XIV.1671

Your Excellency,

I wish to convey the warmest of greetings to the Çerid and to the Great Household from the people of Alduria and from Our President, Alejandro Campos.

The Aldurians are a peaceful people. The Government of Alduria reflects this through its commitment to the peaceful coexistence of Alduria with all nations in Micras. We bear no ill will to any nation and seek only to build a nation for our people that is prosperous, safe, and free. We welcome the Çerid delegation to Alduria, and share their desire for peace and coexistence in Eura.

Many of our people have suffered mightily from the violence wrought by the Çer bands in the desert Green. The survival of our nation, a beacon of hope for many of Micras' stateless refugees, depends on our ability to peacefully enter into trade with our neighbors and transport goods across the dangerous Euran interior. We understand that these bands are not sanctioned or supported by the Great Household. But we do ask, as a guarantee of true coexistence and peace in Eura, for the help of the Great Household in ending the violence. We remain open to amenable and concrete steps from the Great Household to aid in the maintenance of the common peace.

We welcome future agreements that will provide more details to our relationship as Euran nations. We understand that there are great differences between our cultures and nations, however, we believe that this is no impediment to a friendship based on the mutual respect, cooperation, and genuine friendship.

We find the terms of understanding agreeable, and highlight our request for aid in securing the survival of the Aldurian people by helping bring the raids by the Çer bands to an end.

Desirous of good relations, we remain humbly available to you, especially to help secure such lands and buildings necessary for the establishment of a permanent diplomatic mission from the Great Household and the Çerid people in our capital, Punta Santiago. We also remain available to provide such facilities necessary for the mission to live comfortably in Punta Santiago.
