Your highness,

As you know, Ragnar Lodbrok decided to resign as Thane of Norway after 13 successful years. To honour his deeds as Thane, Norway will arrange a turney starting on June 10 in Telemark. Knights of your country are hereby cordially invited to participate in the turney. All participants, irrespective of previous atrocities, will be treated by respect during the turney.

Sincerely,

Sigurd Haakonsson,
Thane of Norway

Dear Sigur Hakoonson, Thane of our Norwegian brothers,

please tranfer my most honest reagards to Ragnar for he has always been a true friend of Sweden and myself.
Though we have an own turney in preparation I will hurry to get to your festivity or send the first representives avaible.
Just as in the old days Norwegian and Swedish knights will meet as friends and brothers.
As the mountains and hills of the north are dangerous for lonesome travellers we may travel in an armed group.

Hail Oden,

Your highness,

Swedish Norsemen are most welcome to the turney and as our brothers we will provide housing in the castle. It is indeed recommended to travel in a group in the dark and dangerous forests on the boarder between Sweden and Norway.

We may send a small group of Norsemen to your turney if time permits. If suitablle, you may send us more information and a permission to travel over your land.

Sincerely,

Sigurd Haakonsson
Thane of Norway

Hail you Sigurd Haakonson, Thane of the grand Norwegians

it fills our hearts with joy to be welcomed by the grim warriors of the very North. Any man of Norway will be guided savely and unharmed upon the Swedish territory if he inteds to join or turney or pass our lands on travel. Now and forever.

I remain in friendship,

Dietrich den Uxi, Konungr of Sweden

Sharkus Kobrietis, Grand Duke of Grand Duchy of Lithuania

Your highness,

We hope that despite the troubled times you still intend to come to the turney "In honour of Ragnar Lodbrok". The knights of Lithuania were important allies in the great war when Norway was under attack, and your presence saved many lives. We are still grateful for your effort. The turney will be an excellent opportunity to further strengthen our relations.

Any aggression against Lithuania during the turney or the travels to and from the turney will be regarded as an attack on Norway.

Sincerely,

Sigurd Haakonsson,

Dear Sigurd Haakonsson,

I can assure you, that I will visit Telemark for tourney and honor notorious Ragnar Lodbrok, as I announced before, but some most expierenced knights doesn't returned from Moscow yet, where they participated in another turney, but I hope they will be in Telemark in time, too. Sorry, that I didn't respond to your invitation earlier, but I was absent from my court, becouse I was looking for highborn steppe ponies for our newly rebuilded horse breading.

Sincerely,
Sharkus Kobrietis

Brother,

We fully understand your concern and we appreciate your official presence during the festivities.

Our Norwegain norsemen are highly excited. FIrst the turney in Sweden and now one here in Telemark, and they already heard the rumours of plundering south of your boarder. We cannot get too much of showing our braveness and the road to Valhall becomes glorious.

May Odin lead us,

Sigurd Haakonsson,
Thane of Norway
