Having read it, Sarnissa was even more convinced that they had gotten themselves into an adventure, a very dangerous one, but also an incredibly exciting one. It was quite clear that this Ssa, or whatever his name was, intended to strengthen his position in Erathia, aiming to gain complete control over the continent and everything that happened on and even beyond its borders. Diplomatic statements such as "suspected of having ties," "intimidates," and "undermines stability" were clear evidence of this, and when she surprisingly found Reimia on the list, it only confirmed her fears. Although they had never really interacted and had only met a few times at gatherings with mutual acquaintances, Sarnissa had no doubt that her compatriot would never have allied herself with a mere mortal without a very good reason. Whether personal gain was involved or whether the actions of this mysterious organization could indirectly benefit Nihotense, she was not sure, but the message made it clear that, as she had feared, the situation in Erathia was certainly not conducive to either the development of a free market or the establishment of diplomatic relations with states or groups that posed any possible threat to the power-hungry officials of this council.
