Dear Rugile, do you have now seen enough of war to satisfy your mind and go home in peace?

To all involved in the conflict between Lithuania and Smolensk

We have decided to help our fellow pagan neighbors in the fight against the arrogant christians.
So This is a declaration of war to all who have joined smolensk in a war against Lithuania.

Dear Sir Oru,

I was somewhat surprising on your declaration of war. You talk about a war we are waging against Lithuania, but Lithuania's grand witch has declared war on us and you should deny your involvement with Rugile.
We had hoped to finish this war soon and return home, and it still does not continue for months.
I must also make you aware that Smolensk is not wealthy and we as a small nation can not afford so many prisoners! Your page is now 3-1 in the majority, please understand that we will not be able to devote our full attention to you. Certainly we will find the time to loot your counties. ..Sorry, I meant to visit.

Dear Rugile, Grand Duchess of Lithuania,

Up until this moment Rostov has done everything possible to fight the war in a gallant fashion and not to raid your shires. However, with the appearance of Sweden we cannot continue that policy and we could no longer abstain from aggressive actions on your soil. The simple reason is that Smolensk is too small to fight alone 30 knights, so we will have to increase our commitment in the conflict. If you want to end this folly, we could offer you white peace. If you want to continue this war, the Rostov armies will be authorized to move wherever the commanders deem necessary in order to speedily resolve the conflict.

Sincerely,

Valdemar von Vetinari, Foreign Minister of Rostov

I'm glad that someone decided to help me, in these hard times, when Lithuania is attacked from all sides. Now I see, who are our true brothers. We wait to see Sweden's banners on the battlefield! May the gods make the wind favour your travel.

To Appo, Prince of Smolensk

Are you trying to make us pity you?
Well that failed.
And you even threaten to loot our beautiful homeland. I will see that your homelands houses get some special warmth from our torches and your wives some special treatment from us.
Oh and about my involvement, I was not involved until I saw that our fellow neighbors in faith are outnumbered and decided to come to aid.
And one more reason why I came to aid Lithuania was that your arrogance has no borders, you endlessly insult Their Duchess to be a witch, but I believe that I have known Rugile longer than you to discuss if she is a witch or not.

QUOTE:
To Sweden and Lithuania

Outnumbered? Really? Five knights raided half of Lithuania which has 15 knights because of the inability of its leaders to intercept a single army. If you have the numerical advantage of 3 to 1 and still claim that you are outnumbered, I am afraid that barbarian mathematics works in ways mysterious to us.

Sincerely,

Valdemar von Vetinari, Foreign Minister of Rostov

I think you forgot about Rostovian army or it was so useless, so you don't even mention your army? All you did, was lose battles.. Smolensk army was very lucky to go around our armies and burn my lands. Thats Christian chivalry and honor, right?
What about pechenegs? You forgot them too, I think. Gods knows how many barbarians you invited to join you against me and how many will come soon, but they will not stop me from getting your head.

Very well said. I couldn't have said it any better. Your wits can truly outmatch any other in this life or the next.

QUOTE:
Values prisoner Rugile,
because you and the most of your knights enjoy the hospitality of our prisons, you believe we could now negotiate a ceasefire?

Our demands are simple:
1. Lithuania commit themselves to a peaceful life for a minimum of 3 years. It means, you are not allowed to participate into a war, if you are not directly attacked.
2. The shires Smolensk (287), Tula (313) and Chernigov (310) are part of the Smolensk Rus and you will left it immediately!
3. The knights of the Smolensk Rus will be granted permanent access to the blacksmith on your castle, and safe passage through your counties.
