. ݁₊ ⊹ A missive found its way back to the Imperial Palace. From the skies, a sylvan owl descended in a glide, its wings outstretched as it landed. Clutched within its talons was a letter, bound neatly in a lilac ribbon.
Upon untying it, the message within was revealed:
ꕥ AN ANSWER TO THE KAISER ꕥ
To His Imperial Majesty, the Kaiser of the Hadrian Empire,
Your missive has been received and carefully considered. The Dominion acknowledges the Empire's efforts in adopting the arcane arts, a path once shunned yet now evidently welcomed. It is a transformation most intriguing and one deserving of careful observation and discussion.
In the spirit of diplomacy and mutual understanding, I will accept your invitation and make the journey to Adelsburg in the stead of my Khari to bear witness to this demonstration of your newfound magical abilities. With me, I shall bring two of our most esteemed magoi, scholars whose expertise will serve to enhance the discussion and offer insight into the advancements we have cultivated over centuries of arcane mastery. Although our pasts have frequently been defined by rivary, the Dominion is ever willing to entertain the notion that progress may come not through division, but through deliberate and intentional collaboration. Whether this demonstration marks a mere step forward or the foundation of something greater, or nothing at all remains to be seen.
We shall discuss further arrangements at your convenience.
I trust the Empire will prove itself a worthy host, as I am certain the Dominion shall prove itself a worthy guest.
With Highest Regards,
Pricecili and Envoy of the Dominion of Corithiel
In Service to la’Cilmeri and the Glade
