Eolinius paled as he looked at his desk and the three letters spread out before him. The task ahead was difficult, but it was his role. Being Bei Lochi ambassador didn't just mean swallowing petits fours and gingerbread at official receptions; he had to defend the Federation's interests, and here, with all the protests heard and made by his Talai and the commotion caused around him, he had to step out of his usual comfort zone. So much for his serenity and what would follow. Eolinius heaved a deep sigh. He sent the letters, copying the first two to Governor Nair-Ailan Mac'Kean.
Lettre de protestation envoyée par l’ambassadeur Bei Lochi Eolinius à Barmie Dingle, guide des Rangers
Nair Barmie Dingle,
My information and that of the people present have enabled me to learn of the secret meeting that took place in the Almati woods between the Fyros and the Matis to organize the water route and negotiate the passage of the convoy through Matis territory. I commend your initiative. It is to your credit and in your tradition to have sought to facilitate a rapprochement between these two nations. However, your interference in this matter may have gone a little too far..
Your equation is missing one parameter: the Trykeri, the main organizers of the water route with the Fyros. Given your Tryker origins, you must know that the wrong formula can quickly lead to an explosion. Inviting negotiations on the passage and organization of the convoy without the main organizers is inadmissible. It's not a mistake, it's a 'diplomatic error' which I hope will be corrected as soon as possible..
We are no longer the slaves of the Matis or the Fyros, and our opinion is essential to the organization of this water route..
Eolinius,
Ambassadeur At Lochi
