A letter is delivered discreetly to the Cordor citizen government, and copies are posted in East Cordor Square. It reads as follows:
In every man and womans lifelong pursuit of their place in the world, and what seems to be just compensation for their efforts along the way, oftentimes it is an easy matter to be swept up in a shortcut. Duty and the promises of the past seem distant when one is removed from those who would remind them, and the hospitality of a foreign land may be taken for granted in the passion of advancement. Failing in this way were a group of renegade Thayan wizards, who came to Amia to flee their own government. In their mad thirst for power, they committed atrocities unbefitting modern citizens of Toril, and forsook the mercy of Cordor and the Red Wizards alike.
In the wake of these acts, that we shall not here delve into, no man nor woman from Thay has been allowed open passage through the City of Cordor, a very reasonable precaution after the mad schemes of these rogue wizards rocked the city. These men were defeated, and Cordor has turned its eyes to more important matters in the time after.
It is now that the Empire of Thay, with the whereabouts of these runaway charlatans unknown until recently, has sent its own official Red Wizards to come to Cordor, see what has become of it, and make reparations for the terrible deeds of its rogue children, who would have been killed had they remained in Thay.
In the country of Amn, for example, criminals are often executed by their government for their crimes, and the same spells true for our country. In Thay, there are few crimes greater than harming our name in potential trade arenas, as was done on the island of Amia. In foreign relations, we are a mercantile nation, and our fine magical goods go to the adventurers and militaries of many of our neighbors. Trade is the blood of Faerun and Amia, and this blood has been spilled by rogue elements of our nation. Thay has sent men, not including myself, to carefully observe your city, and determine how best to do right by you after what has been done, so that the bounty of trade may resume in earnest, between the Empire of Thay and the City of Cordor.
It is with the offer of goodwill and open diplomacy that the Empire of Thay hereby issues an official apology for the damage caused by renegade wizards born in our country, and a request for open audience with Cordorian leadership is issued. Until such a time as the Thayan officials may openly move about in Cordor has been reached, I, Rogg Kurlo, shall be your connection with the men of Thay in Cordor and back home. The time for dialogue and trade is here, so let both our peoples find mutual ground in the medium of diplomacy. Yours truly,
Rogg Kurlo
