Something to the effect of, "you can have anyone you can pay. The guilds have approved contracting work to the refugee camp, and we extend our sympathies to your people for their loss. The King has assured us that by sending our forces north, above the Wall, the army that has taken Oceanus will have to pull out, and sail north to defend their own kingdom. However, in the event that they choose a reprisal, rather than protecting their own, we feel it wise to keep our able fighting men and women near, to prevent the tragedy at Oceanus from befalling our own people." The letters aren't identical, but they are only minor variations on the theme. 1) The Barony hasn't really expanded. It's the same size it always was. It includes all of the Alder's forest, and a reasonably large amount of land surrounding it. Technically, The Duchy of Oceanus lies inside the Barony of Hyrwl...but since there has not been a baron in some time, the duchies are all relatively independent. 2) Don't say that the legitimacy of the Barony is not in question.
