[Finalgenesis]

To Agartha,

We will shortly begin our retaliation in respond to your treachery although we are in quite a bind:

We have no wish to expand any further in the short term as things stand now, and are greatly saddened that despite our tolerance on your first breach on NAP you have decided to push your luck and thus force us to expand. first C'tis, now Agartha, whatever shall we do with our burgeoning problem?

Given the outcome of your attack with the element of surprise (some successful, some failed, and we note the huge loss in gem cost on some of the failures) against our unprepared positions, I think it would be fair to say that once we pull our defenses together and throw our own mages/thugs/scripts into the equation that the advantage would be on our side.

Thus our suggestion given our current expansion policy ("Stop forcing us to expand!"), I would be amendable to restoring things to the way it was given sufficent reparations. Of course, I'm sure you'll want to see some of the defenses I was speaking of first, I will of course oblige, though the reparation required for peace would be larger farther into the war, and the window for peace is short.

We were baffled, of all the possible target (and we note some juicy and conveniently placed ones), us?
