Procellia City, The Empire of Procellia
----------------------
"Your Majesty there is a letter from Greece for you" declared a rather bored looking Cal-ri walking unannounced into his chambers, again.
Setting aside the poem he had been writing he opened the letter and read it. His face knotted with concern at the news of the war.
Cal-ri knew the look on his face and said "we are neutral your majesty, I don't know what mess he's gotten himself in to but we do not pick sides."
Ishay leaned back in his chair, stress creasing his still young face, his white hair falling loosely "Yes, but I know that King and his first concerns are always for his citizens."
"Do you remember the story of the Church during the third theocratic war?"
"Ya of course I do, anyone who walked into a temple was allowed to worship. No questions asked. But what does that have to do with....?" The demon King trailed off as he realised exactly the implications
Procellia could offer third party medical care to all parties involved, and then they wouldn't be taking sides. And it would earn Procellia some much needed good will in the international community.
"Cal-ri you old genius I could kiss you right now!"
"Your Majesty not everyone shares your desires"
"Oh just shove a sock in it and hug me you old coot" he said hugging the protesting advisor

Sparta, Greece
---------
Two days after the letter arrived in Procellia two massive war ships arrive at port in Sparta, flying the Procellian flag.
Both ships were stuffed to the brim with everything that could ever be dreamed of in a modern hospital, surgical equipment and we'll trained Procellian staff under strict orders to treat anyone that entered the ship. Though there were Procellian troops on board in case one side decided to attack the floating hospitals.
One envoy was dispatched from each ship, baring white flags. The first was sent to the Persians and the second to the Greeks; both carrying a simple message "The neutral nation of Procellia is willing to treat any person, military or civilian, at their medical facilities. But they refuse to take an active part in the war and civilians always have first priority for treatment."
