From the Office of the Chancellor:
Subjects and Allies of Siar Fordell,
There has recently been an ongoing border dispute between the Thegn-Hold and some rogue elements claiming to represent the Stoney Pointe community. The dispute arose by the staging of vehicles on the Thegn-Hold’s lands, namely the idea that they cannote be on the driveway, only in the motor stables (yes, that is what we call a garage, because it is a military phrase, and it sounds so very much cooler.)
This idea is, of course, blatantly ridiculous, and the Thegn shall continue to do as he pleases within the grounds of his own fortress and lands. Never-the-Less, the Siar Fordell has been threatened with economic sanctions and even border violations in order to press the issue. The Thegn has responded as diplomatically as possible, addressing the board of the Stoney Pointe community, of which the forces of Siar Fordell are staunch defenders. Currently the motor stables are fully utilized by the Master-at-Arms for training purposes. Further more, the manor home at Stoney Pointe is quite an estate – one of few in the area that can boast its own driveway – how can a community dictate that it cannot be used? One does not punish a homeowner for having a better view than his neighbor, or a larger yard.
The Thegn has reached out to the board in written diplomatic form, since he could not attend the farce of a “hearing” that they proposed on the issue – as he has better things to do, such as his military service to the realm, and ruling the Thegn-Hold.
We remain confident that diplomacy and reason shall prevail over tyranny, and shall keep you updated as to the progress.
The Thegn-Hold of Siar Fordell
