From one warrior at the conquered settlement of the Cypriot barbarians........to his home and Loved ones.
The date will in the future be recalled as the 25th Day of the 12th Month of the year 298 BC. The fortunes of the Cilliciani tribe are waxing brighter and their young Archon is leading a small but rightfully Proud Nation.
He writes a message for his wife , the Archon of Cappadocia, Oracle, Priestess Nyx, who is also found in the histories as Lady Hollie before her rightful ascension to Power. Both have lead their people now for nearly a year or more and He is far from his family but they are near in his heart.

Hello My Love,

My Heart of Hearts you and our son will hopefully see me soon.

At the head of a victorious Army.
We have subjugated one of the Cyprus tribes. As soon as we have the other in hand we shall come North to your lands and give you our time and honor. Enlarging your own peoples lands so both our peoples may prosper under the Faiths.

But though these things make me proud of my people, none bring such joy to my heart as the conquest of your heart.
At times you may feel I treat it too lightly but I swear before all I believe that you and our son, Aether are my two greatest treasures. Any harm to you either...strikes straight to my heart. Your tears are my blood and your smiles are my dawn. I am most happy when I serve you two.

But, Love, I am also fulfilled by the strength of my people. They find new lessons and grow daily as I am sure yours do also. Each finding new truths which they share with each of their tribe members seriously.
I can see a great future ahead for them..and ..
For Us and our children.
No other children in this Age shall ever be more loved and learned and guided or cherished than ours.

I leave you now, to mend my armor and heal my small bruises from this last victory. You should have seen how Beranos fights!! He was a blaze of bronze across the beach and into the village we set to conquer! Maybe he can help Me train our boy in weapons while you teach him to Honor the Gods and We Both teach him how a Ruler should lead!

With all my Heart I swear again my Love to You, dear wife and blessed Priestess.

With this letter I send some small prizes. Please grant this small bronze necklace to our son and have this Gold one for yourself.

-Your Husband,
Shazir

**This Thread is meant to be an Open thread to begin a small series of letters between anyone and their friends and Homes. Much like the ones that are found in some histories but also to remind ANYONE who chooses to read or post here --ANYONE-- that this game has people with lives to live away from Nations and wars. Even letters to merchants have been found giving historical reference! Each one should stand alone and not require replies. But they may be included....just not necessarily before someone else posts.
--Maybe it should be in Snuggery, but for now (its so quiet) it fits better here.
