The Desperate Request of StreamCrossing

Brave and honorable King Tallius,   StreamCrossing and Aerodouth have long been allies, sending aid to one another when it was required and accepting each others citizens within their borders as their own. I would ask that you remember what our cities have done for each other as I explain StreamCrossing's plight. The wood elves of The Red Forest have declared war in the form of an all out surprise assualt. It would seem that the diplomats we had sent had failed and are likely dead. Our own militia was able to repel the first attack on our city however it is to my dismay to say that we are unlikely to be able to hold out against more attacks such as these. The elves killed sixty or more of my men and the river itself has become hostile to us with foul tempered elementals and the forest glares at us as awakened trees bar us entry into the woods we depend on. It is because of our desperate situation that I beseach of you, honorable King, that you would send as many men as you are willing to aid us. Admittedly there is little compensation we can give in return as the attack has left the river unsafe and the docks broken, and as such most of the commerce of RiverCrossing has ceased. But I can offer my undying friendship and an alliance everlasting between our two cities should you be willing to help us.   It is unbecoming of me as a leader to speak as I am now, but generous king, I beg of thee, save us.   From your ally and fellow Yuruk-Tarian, Governor Nalvin Princelok
