To the leader(s) of the rebel armies of Tekorva,

I See You. I humbly ask ye to lay down your weapons, for the Hurosha Empire helped us with good intent only. Once this land is once again at peace, their armies will leave our land, leaving only freedom in their wake. If you are forced by the Yorukuninin to fight, they will stop their suppression. If you are united under Kuramkesh's banner, I beseech you, please open your eyes. His rule has brought nothing but despair and sadness to our once proud lands. Although Kuramkesh himself is forbidden to participate in future Battle of Wits, as punishment for his crimes, his children are not and are even helped by our Hurashan allies. Furthermore, those of you who ally with Valineth, she is now an ally of the Hurosha Empire. Both of them have given me their blessings for leading Tekorva onto the right path to prosper once again. Hurosha has agreed to give us the prestigious position of Vassal, recognizing our independance and free spirit.

I ask of you, fellow Tekorvanin, is it better to life our own life, with our way of life protected by our allies, or be suppressed by wicked rulers and proud races, whos glory is long gone?

Join me now as our new age of prosperity begins!

Signed,

Kokuei, Elder of Tekorva
