A letter is returned from Lor relatively swiftly.
Lady Commander Stormhaven,
It is with deep regret I must inform you that I am unable to attend the meeting in question. Sadly events being what they are in Lor at present I am compelled by duty to see to things here.
I wish you well in your endeavours and pray for your victory.
May the Great Gold grant you wisdom and strength,
Sasha Tomyris
