Exarch:
I am writing to you today regarding the expedition of the Ninth Droungarios to Atossa Island. So far, we have successfully claimed the sparsely populated southeastern coast and established communication with the small neighboring states. Unfortunately, our initial assessment of the political situation in this area was overly optimistic. As expected, neither the Lauric Protectorate nor House Bromia showed any desire to affiliate themselves with the Exarchate. Additionally, the colonists at Port Balica have refused to even meet with our envoys. The other states, at least, have responded more positively.
You will no doubt be pleased to hear that Master Akio has arrived safely at our encampment. I understand that you are concerned about his ideological leanings, and I am grateful that you have given me this opportunity to instill proper values into him. I promise you that he will, by the time he returns to the Dromon, be ready to wear the Omphalion Seal.
I will, of course, keep you informed about any future developments.
Your loyal servant,
Galdr the Scryer
