Saludos, members of Government of the House of Kusari,
Allow me to present myself, I am a Praetor Lucah Samaras, right hand of Executor Ravenna Nagash, of Deterrence Fleet. We represent one of the greatest entities within the Corsair Empire, which you may or may not have heard about. About a week ago, we have received a broadcast from The Brotherhood, claiming that our nation has been recognized as a non-hostile entity within the Kusari, and we've took some time to ensure this information is not some sort of cruel joke.
To this end, we have reached out to our mutual friends in Hogosha Alliance, which allowed us to confirm that our friends in Hogosha are at no risk of loss of profit due to being 'bypassed' in the Artifact trade. Because of their quick response, I know that the House of Kusari is serious about this relationship.
I don't come bearing nothing but sweet words, however. Unlike the Brotherhood, we are not bloodthirsty brutes, and while we never are afraid to meet our enemies head on, our top priority continues to be the well-being of every Hermano y Hermana back at Crete, While the terms presented in the Brotherhood's broadcast seem like a well-established first step in a potentially fruitful and prosperous cooperation, Executor, Myself and the rest of the Conclave can't help but notice that there is nothing in it to be gained to the starving familias back home. With your permission, I would kindly request a possibility to adjust, perhaps even expand on the terms of the treaty, for increased benefit of both of our nations. Should personal attendance be requested, I am certain it could very well be arranged.
We eagerly await your response.
With warm regards,
Lucah Samarah,
Praetor of Deterrence Conclave
Kōkyo, Imperial District, New Tokyo, House Kusari, 829 A.S
Foreign Affairs Minister - Toshinori Kojirou
Praetor Samarah.
Following the premature broadcasting conducted by the Brotherhood and the Conclave's appearance as another large entity of Crete's political landscape, the Empire of Kusari decided to halt any ongoing negotiations. Your words hint at a potential political rift between the Conclave and the Brotherhood, which brings uncertainty to the establishment of serious, formal relations between the people of Crete and the Kusari Empire. Therefore, we propose an alternative:
A joint summit between the Brotherhood, the Conclave and the Foreign Ministry. The Hogosha Alliance shall be invited as negotiator between both Cretan parties and to preserve their interests.
With regards, Imperial Foreign Affairs Minister,
Toshinori Kojirou

Esteemed Praetor.
Please be informed of the following channel acting as new primary line of communication between the parties of Crete, the Hogosha Alliance and ourselves.
