Aesir Apology to TLR

We (Aesir) acknowledge that we acted as an aggressor against TLR after TLR's victory over TRO, and as judge of Eternal Fire for what We deems excessive and burdensome terms of surrender. We acknowledge this issue would have been better addressed through public opinion and open channels of communication, attempting to build a coalition of support and exertion of pressure to bring about lesser demands by TLR. We apologize and regret the damage done to smaller members of TLR in the initial exchange of hostilities, and offers recompense and reparations. We also regret the fact that the conflict has spread, drawing in additional alliances previously existing at peace.

In accordance with the peace between us and TLR , 50 million gold has been sent from Aesir's alliance capital to The Long Road's alliance capital for compensation of losses of all TLR members, and we (Aesir) ask nothing in the way of resources from TLR for our losses.

well done

Eternal Fire> TLR acknowledges and accepts Aesir’s public statement. TLR also acknowledges that the Terms of Surrender set forth to end the conflict between TLR and TRO may in fact have been burdensome, i.e., transfer of medals or city size and placement limits. However, while TLR acknowledges the terms asked for may have been harsh and difficult to implement, our position is that the terms, having been agreed upon by the alliances directly involved in the conflict, are in fact binding. We do hope, however, that our past decisions may serve as a lesson for those seeking to resolve future conflicts, that terms set, even agreed upon, that are perceived as burdensome may cause bitter feelings to brew and give birth to future hostilities. It is our hope that our past decisions will not set a burdernsome precedent

Both statements are well written and a cedit to both alliances.
