Why did they assign me to do this?  I'm a seelie, fun and flighty!  Why not a dwarf, they love being reliable and dutiful."The young page enters, carrying a armful of scrolls "I'm sure I don't know, ma'am. Here's the reports from The Kevellond League. They had some success but it didn't go as well as we might have hoped. Dyver's was taken and there is heavy fighting still along the front."Siobhan sighs, nodding "Ok.  We'll consult with the generals later on troop movements.  Take a letter. Dear Archcleric Hazen of Veluna.  We deeply regret hearing the news of the loss of Dyvers. Of course, we'll providewhatever assisstance we can.  However, we also must view with concern your crackdown on dissidents in your lands.  While some of them were clearly enemy agents, others might have legitimate grievences.  Once you start down the slippery slope of oppression..it's hard to stop..because..because it's a slope...and slippery! Um..you clean that up, something about oppression only breeds resistance, maybe promise to look into grievences later.  That way if you lose the war you won't have to worry aobut it.  Deepest regards, Siobhan Silirevnur, Emissary of the Seelie Court, Glittering White Flame of Titania, Undisputed Mud Wrest..no, scratch that.  It never impresses the clergy for some reason.""Next up." the fae brightly went on "To Azaghul Doomhammer of the Dwarves of Perrenland. Our deepest thanks for the fine work that has been done building up our defences along the borders.  We can't help but think more strongpoints could have been built if you did not stop to add statues of dwarven heros and engravings, but we understand you want everyone to know who did the work. It has come to our attention that you are planning to participate in a revolution.  We've consulted the maps and determined there are no such people as the 'Industrials' so we can only assume this is some obscure cause.  Please note the Seelie Court has no sense of humor about lawless rebellions.  If you have a grievence, we'll be happy to work it out with you after the war.  Deepest regards, Siobhan Silirevnur, Emissary of the Seelie Court, the Hammer of the Seelie Smiting the Rocks of Evil."Then a sigh from the young fae "Ok, Suppose I should get this one over with.  Hope he's not too upset, he's had a rough time this past month.  Dear Vecna,  Thanks for your invitation to dinner, but really, a date between us could never work.  You're dead and I'm alive for once thing.  You've evil and I'm good for another.  Thanks for the enameled halfling skull set in bloodgold, but really, I have nothing to wear with it.  Best wishes, hope we can still be friends. Siobhan."-----------------------------------------------------------------------The weird ideas that come to you at 5 AM....<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Don't take it too seriously.</blockquote>
