We do not need the entirety of Arcania, true. We would like to gain control as soon as possible as we are getting a late start in our relocation. It is also true that a number of other kingdoms have demanded territory in Arcania. My proposal is that you allow us to take the city and we agree that you shall possess holdings in the region as well. After we control the region we can revisit who will own the southernmost city. Ok?
The Great King of All Between the Sand and Sky, he is not as fond of you so you may not call him by the affectionate GKBASS, has considered your proposal. It is unsuitably vague and leaves far to much to chance for the future. The Great King is not angered by your wish to control the hunting grounds of Arcania. The concern is that you will take control of your third city, which we now dominate, and then decide at a later date that your oversized hunters would like to chase the wile camels of Southern Sands. For the Great King to allow you uncontested dominion over Esteria Vale, there would have to be guarantees that the many ogres it will allow you to hire will never endanger our herds and flocks.
Are you prepared to guarantee that the Giant Kingdom and the Black Dragon kingdom will never go to war? That you will forever turn your eyes from our domains? If so, these are the terms we would be willing to consider.
~The Black Dragon will vacate the premises of Esteria Vale.
~The Black Dragon will retain permanent title to all Arcanian pcs touching the border with the Southern Sands.
~Game long peace between the Giant and Black Dragon kingdoms. The only means of cancelling this peace would be the Giant ceding control of Esteria Vale back to the Black Dragon and the Black Dragon accepting and taking control. It would be a mutual decision. This is, admittedly, unlikely to happen but we felt there should be some mechanism.
The Great King feels that this is a very generous offer.
If you agree to these terms today, I will move my group off this turn and the Great King will again allow you to call him GKBASS. I also have the locations of all villages in Arcania and would be willing to share them if you wish. Of course, everyone else would also get those locations.
