Initial semi-secret diplomacy:
To Edena of Neith:
[sblock]"Thank you for receiving me, Lady Eclavdra." The succubus Natak bows to you deeply, head to the floor. "It is an honor to be in your presence!"
"My master, Eli Tomorast, and his companions, Robilar and Rary, welcome the presence of the Drow in the Bright Hills. We look forward to trade of goods and expertise between our great nations. Your people are welcome to travel in the Bright Lands, though we must insist they obey all local laws, for we are obliged by our station to enforce them for the good of our vassals."

To Rikandur Azebol:
[sblock] The incubus Matak bows before whomever receives him. "On behalf of the Triumvirate Rebellious, we wish to extend greetings to Mighty Iuz, our neighbor to the north, and offer our hopes of peaceful coexistence. But know this - we will not tolerate incursions in to our sovereign territory by military forces."
"On the topic of territory, we wish to call a conference with representatives from the Empire of Iuz, Greater Nyrond, and the League of Athyr on the topic of the Nyr Dyv (the small ocean bordering my territory on the north) and how it shall be divided amongst us."
[/sblock]
To Bugbear:
[sblock] The great wizard Rary waits impatiently to be received, the emissary from the newly formed Triumvirate Alliance to the west. When he is brought in, he is polite, but curt. "Thank you for receiving me so promptly," he says. "The Triumvirate Alliance has no quarrel whatsoever with Greater Nyrond, and hopes that we can co-exist peacefully. However, we will not tolerate military incursions in to our land, nor a build-up of forces at our border. We do not expect you to tolerate any of the same from us, nor will we ask you to. We hope that we can form a healthy relationship as trading partners and neighbors."
"On the topic of territory, we wish to call a conference with representatives from the Empire of Iuz, Greater Nyrond, and the League of Athyr on the topic of the Nyr Dyv (the small ocean bordering my territory on the north) and how it shall be divided amongst us."

To Eluvan:
[sblock] The mighty Lord Robilar meets whomever you send to meet with him in the Free City of Dyvers over a great feast, along with many other nobles of Greyhawk. "I bring greetings to our friends to the west! We have much to discuss."
"First, the newly formed Triumvirate Alliance wishes peace and goodwill with the League of Athyr! We invite your traders, scholars, and soldiers to travel freely among our great cities of Dyvers and Greyhawk, and hope we can work together to promote the strength of our two great nations."
"Second, beware your foes to the north! Both Iuz and the Circle of Eight are dangerous enemies, but more dangerous as friends! I urge you not to trust them, especially the Circle of Eight - we shall hold no peace with them, for their crimes against us, and indeed myself personally, are great indeed!"
"On the topic of territory, we wish to call a conference with representatives from the Empire of Iuz, Greater Nyrond, and the League of Athyr on the topic of the Nyr Dyv (the small ocean bordering my territory on the north) and how it shall be divided amongst us."
