[Spiffspoff]

Barely has munitions been stocked into storage after the assault on the Deep before it's hauled out again. Wounded sailors work tirelessly to prepare ships for the hardier reserves, some even heeding the call to defend their home despite the bandages they hid beneath their uniforms. Aen responded in kind to any invader daring to lay hand against her people with vitriol, and pride.

Morale is high despite everything, kept so by the unyielding attitude of their far too stubborn Captain.

And yet in spite of this stubbornness, the Kingdom of Fortune isn't turned away despite terrible relations. Desperation? Hopes for the future? Who could really tell?

Captain Isley's reply follows:

"'Tis yer way o' makin' amends, o' pavin' way fer future scuffles? Guess we'll see. Fine, load yer guns. We won' turn ours 'n ye if'n y'do us."

For the time being, the ships of Fortune are permitted to dock freely within Lyonesse. Provided they adhere to the island's laws.
