The Viikhalaks dismounted their horses at the steps before the Ducal residences. The retainers clearing the way for a carriage that carried their envoy. As the wheels halted and the horses reins pulled back, the door opened and the fine, knee length boots of a dynasty member stepped out.
With a burgundy coat over her shoulders, Kevennys Sardaana stamped her feet onto the smooth stone steps as she clambered from the carriage. A pair of chaincoats and a handmaiden followed her up the steps. At the top of the staircase, a small garden of trees and flowerbeds sat, in front of great doors into the residences. A small number of courtiers looked in surprise at the arrival of a Viikhalak Princess and retainers. Messages had been sent, though it looked as though not everyone got them.
Before a party of Damghan attendants could meet them on the steps, Sardaana spoke.
"I hope Dydor finds his righteous duke well enough to talk with me gentlemen?" the Varakeisari's daughter said with a smile, hoping to catch them off guard with her demeanour. "My highness the Varakeisari, has sent me in the stead of my older brother, though I am on just as serious a business as he would bring" Sardaana said, keeping her smile peeled and hearing the carriage moving off again behind her.

To any lonesome shepherd or wayward hermitage, living on the borderlands between Viikhalaka and the Damgh. The sight of chaincoats crossing the border was not necessarily a concerning sight. Though it was one to warrant attention. Should any patrol of damghian soldiers or forlorn officials encounter or intercept these chaincoats, they would find them in pairs. One bedecked in armour of their namesake, carrying the red helm banner of the empire. While another, a messenger of the bureaucracy, with their ominous mask would dispense a scrolled message to the damghians.
This missive comes from Varakeisari Miknaviro V, Grand Tyrant and Emperor of the Viikhalaks, the Viisalings and the Khallaks. Overlord of the Tebrukuts Elves. Lord of the Miran-Kommentajas of the Sevatoor Forests.
You are to carry this message to your lord an master in the capital, the righteous Duke. That the Viikhalakan will not idle across the border while enemies of our nations and of Dydor descend on your lands. It is not in the interest of the Viikhalakan empire to see the Damgh be conquered by mogui or colonised by Colossi. Therefore, we petition the duke to treatise with the Varakeisari along the border of our gracious nations. Or our hand will be forced, for the varakeisari to come to the duke personally.
