I hold a deep fear over this nation, Procellia. They have spontaneously appeared from the Far Lands of Artemis, and it does not bode well if they have any power in their nation. Lest we forget, historically, there was a nation similar to them, and when it came out of its isolation, it was to modernize for war. if they have decided to bring themselves out of isolation in order to accomplish the same task, then we can expect some increased hostilities in the area as those former colonies continue to destabilize, as well as possible Selenian intervention. None of those are good for business, not especially when Sylon is attempting a canal through to the Grand Lake and through to the other side of the continent. Sartorial business would no doubt thrive with the increased contact with Procellia brought on by this, but we must continue to be wary of the new nation.
Therefore, I propose a non-aggression pact with both Sartoria. I ask that we put aside historical differences in order to try to be certain of our own safety and security from Procellia.
