[Sharinya]

Sharinya listened with interest to what she was being told; the news of a tax did not surprise her but could the province afford another form of taxation levied against them? Time alone would tell as to her response.

”It would seem a lot is to be done Master Ironfist; Perhaps we should get to what needs attention immediately; correspondence is bound to have built up while the Province has been without a Governor.” she said wondering just what was to come.

To: Her Excellency, High Queen Sharinya, High Queen of the Fae, Governor of Centripax.

From: Her Imperial Excellency, Alicia Gil'dae, Lady Imperial Chancellor

Serale and all bright greetings to you.

Firstly, may I congratulate you on your appointment as Governor of Centripax. As the previous holder of that position, I would like to offer you my services should there be anything that you come across in the next few cycles and months that you are unsure of. I have attempted to leave everything in order, but I am sure that, of necessity, there are things that I have overlooked. Please be assured that I will assist in any way I can.

Following on from my congratulations, I would like to request a meeting with yourself. This is in regards to relationships between the Empire and the lands of Kel'rondar, in the hope that we can work together to continue to strengthen relations between our two people.

If you are able to, I would dearly like to meet with you. My offices are open to you, but if that is not convenient, please simply inform the bearer of this letter and I will arrange something else for you.

I look forwards to your reply. Once again, congratulations.

Yours

Alicia Gil'dae

Lady Imperial Chancellor

The first letter was from the former Governor now Imperial Chancellor Lady Gil’dae.

”Master Ironfist if you would please send the Lady Gil’dae my thanks for her kind words and assure her that I am sure things have been left in order. If you could would you please tell her that it may be sometime before I will be in the Capital again but I will be sure to call upon her when I am.” she instructed.

To her Excellency, the Lady Governor of Centripax.

Good day to you dear lady. I do hope that my letter has found you well and that your journey has been safe and swift.

Firstly I my apologies for not being here to greet you in person, I am on route to a family friend whose counsel I desperately seek. I am scheduled to return by the first cycle of Melora, after passing by my sisters abode to welcome the newest addition to our family.

Secondly, I had instructed that the office be kept clean and tidy and that the staff about you will facilitate your needs, such a decoration and furnishing. I did not feel it my place to organize such things on your behalf, but I can help with such needs at your instruction.

And finally, I hope that you settle in well here in Centripax and I endeavor to return as soon as possible.

Lieutenant Governor Neav’ekel Nia’mnyth

”Could you please let the Lieutenant Governor know that she must take all the time that she needs to attend to her business and that I shall be looking forward to meeting with her when she is free to return.” she responded to the Lt. Governor’s letter. She perhaps should have replied by her own hand but then the person receiving the letter would have had trouble reading such a small hand. She could only hope that Master Ironfist did not mind doing it for her. If he did then she would have to look around for an assistant who was prepared to do a lot of writing.
