Thank you again for your warmth and hospitality. It pleases me to no end to better know my Northern side. I hope for many similar evenings spent with your family in our futures.

Cousin,
Too late for warnings. If my health was your concern you wouldn't have abandoned your blood when I was unjustly treated. The only oath I owe, is to my cousin Prince Darren and the House of Redrain. Your Duke, proclaimed my denoblement and you cemented it with your cowardliness and silence. Look on to my fields of fucks and see how barren it is, when it comes to your opinion.

The North has never been safe for the Abandoned, and often that's been because of the Compact. Understand that first. The lure of the Horned One, when he isn't forcing tribes to join him, is protection from you. Part of this is built on a lie, but he sells that lie so well because it fits perfectly with the actual truth. The Horned One says he will let them keep their ways and continue living as they always have. This is also a lie, but it sounds much better than changing their entire way of life and giving up everything they've known for centuries in order to come and live under the rule of strangers who will never fully accept them until their children's children have so fully adapted to this new way of living that no one can tell the difference any more and their old traditions have been mostly erased and their stories and histories forgotten, which is what the Compact usually offers...when it offers anything at all.
You say you need these people? Consider that they've been living all this time without you, often in spite of you. Are they allowed to refuse you? If so, good. If not, you aren't negotiating, you're simply offering terms of servitude or death, and they'll see it for what it is, even if they end up accepting. Food and healing are good, but Abandoned can feed themselves and have their own healers. And if a tribe is in need, you're offering short term gifts for the lifelong oaths of their entire tribe. Consider: how honorable is it, exactly, to ask them to choose between the lives of their friends and family, and their loyalty?
Think about these things, before you go to any of them. If you're looking for allies, treat them as potential allies, not resources to be mined, and consider what actual benefits--not trinkets--you can offer them, long term, in exchange for what you think you'll get out of it. It isn't a small thing you're asking them to do.

Be warned, friend: If you come across an elder that -insists- you eat something? Don't question. Just eat it.

I've always loved our adventures and I look forward to making new memories. If every there was another person I would seek trouble with beside my sister, it would no doubt be you Marquis. Thanks for the drinks and the chance to catch up and let's do it again soon. Besides, I must meet the special people in your life. It's been years since I've had reason to come to the city and I remember how fast you made friends.

The Marquis Cirroch Sanna seems like an amicable fellow. I kind of regret not having met the man back in the North, but he was probably busy back then attending to... Marquisineseial duties. I, on the other hand, was sneaking off into the woods, stalking Mydas and Gurdy whenever they had archery lessons. There's a time and place for everything so I guess the universe just decided that present day Arx would be the best time for us to finally meet. I wonder if my brothers knew him before though. More importantly, does he have pets of his own?

I still say that there was no way we could have known that copper mine was almost exhausted, and I'm sticking to that.
What the future might have been, had you married into the family back then. But I am eager to make the man's acquaintance now, and glad to see the North turning out another man of quality. We need such men now, more than ever.
