The affairs of Your Lordship having stirred mortal interest so keenly, I
pray it is not taken as entirely inappropriate for members of the
reading public to speculate as to the terms of Lady Tarah's inevitable
surrender. Apart from ravaging Her militarily and seizing ownership of
Her public endowments, what possible terms could She be made to accept
that would slake Your thirst for victory?

With public statements disclosing Her murderous intentions towards Your
wife, Lady Eris, what possible assurances could She and Her organization
provide that might stay Your hand? Clearly She will attempt to negotiate
a surrender that leaves Her and the Church in command of a face-saving
proxy government. How much oversight would You require over these
suzerainties to ensure proper submission and respect moving forward?

Whatever the terms of Her eventual collapse, I will pray that You arrive
at a solution that ends Eastern depredations on Lady Eris once and for
all. I needn't pray for Your victory, what with Her public beggary and
defeatist attitude. The only question in the public's mind are the
number of zeros to be attached to Her monthly tribute payments. Happy
hunting!
