Dear Neighbor,

You are walking on thin ice. We know off your mobilization of force to our shared border and take that as an offensive gesture towards us. We mean you no harm as of now, but if you continue your offensive actions towards us you will know the true strength of the Dominion.

We offer you no gift of good measure for we have done nothing wrong. I hope to see your actions against the Dominion end, or else. Those who dance on thin ice tend to face consequences. Let this be your first and only warning.

Grand Chancellor of the Dominion of Ironhull,
Wilhelm Dempsy

To be recieved by the Chancellor of Ironhull, Wilhelm Dempsy.
Date: 28 January 1572

Wilhelm,

I myself am quite offended that you are threatening me in this way, as I myself have not done anything wrong. Of course I am bolstering my border defences; I have recently suffered a terrorist attack from the 'Grand' Admiral and you are the only superpower in this world that I am not allied with.

I warn you that the thin ice is being tread upon by your own, rash self. I warn you that I have the best trained soldiers in the world, the backing of numerous countries and better ships.

Let this be your last warning.
Drochasal VII

I wish to inform you that the lack of alliance between our two nations is entirely the fault of one person amongst us and that person is not me. We sent you a gift of welcome into the world, a letter describing thoughts of friendship and peace. Yet you turn us down. You send no letter in response save that of the letter i have on my desk describing your so called "feelings" towards us. Not to mention the gesture of deploying soldiers on our border.

You're allies across the seas have already felt the cold, painful grip of war and at this point will try to stay out of foreign wars. I am also allied with the world powers. I have no quarrels with any of them and the same goes for them about me. If war WAS to break out, it would be one against one.

As for you. You are a barbaric fiend, bent on destroying the peace that has been resting in the Dominion for over one hundred years now. Though my country has been at peace, it's people are restless. They will not stand by when they hear of the unrest growing to our north, they will demand a resolution. They WILL demand blood.

You sir, are filling the footsteps of a nation that has been traumatized by war. The Solari people had grand military strength as well, but angered the wrong people. You are making a mistake that cost them land and military power. Your actions shall be the downfall of your country.

You have had your one warning. The ice is cracking and soon someone is going to feel the wrath of what is to come. One more misstep, one more aggressive action against The Dominion and i assure you that there will be a punishment. You are a terrorist and a hellion bent on world domination. A threat that will not be quenched, but instead begin a grand hunger for greater things, once Ironhull is under your rule. I say to you that you will NOT have the pleasure of controlling our lands. You WILL answer for your crimes and you WILL be shown your place in our world.

Grand Chancellor of the Dominion of Ironhull,
Wilhelm Dempsy

OOC: I understand you may be doing some political trash talking, but most of the things you accuse me of don't make any sense. (eg. Not a terrorist or barbarian in any way, and I'm as 'bent on world domination' as the next guy) The border I am reinforcing is my own, as I have large forts on my border (check my map)

I honestly don't see why you sent this letter at all. Your acting very rash and it's pretty obvious you want to start a fight, so you can if you wish.

-------------------------------------------------

To Wilhelm Dempsy, Chancellor of Ironhull from the desk of Drochasal VII of Curaidach.

I have done no such action. You threatened me for keeping my borders safe, after suffering a terrorist attack. How you would acuse me of being a terrorist or barbarian is deeply insulting, but I will keep myself from acting rash, as one of us has to.

I have not comitted any crime; everything I have done has been strictly within my own borders (which makes me wonder how you know this at all).

As for not responding to your previous letter, I'll have you know I am not oblivious. You, as a world leader during the industrial revolution, will obviously have ideas of expansion. I must say, your expansionist greed will not get the better of my land. I have made no such gestures towards your nation, as I am content with the land I have, which has had no need of intervention for centuries.

I have not a single violent gesture towards any nation in my time at the world stage. I think you are heavily underestimating what would happen if you were to attack me. That is in now way a threat. It is a promise. What concerns me is your complete disregard to the mention of Therons attacks on my nation, and why you don't consider this reason enough to enforce my borders. I am also concerned that you are trying to initiate a fight between us. I am not a conspiracy theorist, and I am not implying you are allied, as I am sure you, grandest of Chancellors, will not ally yourself to theron and his ilk.

I hope you reconsider the verbal attack you issued upon me and realise how little this exchange of words achieves.

Drochasal VII (not Barbarian, thank you.)

OOC: No hard feelings or anything between us as people. You seem nice and all, but the relations between our nations prevents that.

Wilhelm was in his office, studying tactics and world events when an aid knocked on his door. He was allowed in and handed the Chancellor a letter, he read it quickly and got up. He walked towards the fireplace and threw the letter in. This Curaidach prick was getting on his nerves. He doesnt reply to a letter because of 'Expansionist Greed'? What form of an excuse is that? He returned to his desk and wrote a quick letter.

General Henri Walz

Effective immediately, any Curaidach soldier caught on or over our boarder shall be shot on sight. Send word to all other border forts and camps.

Chancellor Dempsy

He put the message into an envelope and sealed it. It was given to the Aid and was ordered to have it delivered post haste. That prick will be shown that we are serious on our threats. He SHALL be shown his place.

Drochasal waited a week, and no reply came. He assumed his Ironhull friend had seen reason. The Forts were bustling with movement.
