Losday 19th of H'Graasreign (3048)

It has come to my attention that our brethren in Kildare have been unduly attacked by whom we shall name. To protect them, their dignity and their honour, the forces of the County of Eliria and Utasia shall march on to Shirekeep to keep the city safe and to hinder new attacks from the regime in the capital.

I call upon all men and women, of sound body and mind, to take up arms and rendez-vous with the forces of Amir Khan of Vijayanagara. Together we will place Shirekeep under protection from itself.

Signed:
