Observers report seeing a diplomatic message pass between Aitrus and Gordon.

Emissaries of 2Cool carry this message to all:

I am willing to broker deals or transfer cool dudes around my torpid nation at a moments notice. As a sign of good faith, anyone but Frodo is welcome to scout my border to assure themselves of light defenses. One of my borders with Frodo is well stocked for chasing down some heavily armed indeps.

Emissaries of Frodo carry this message to all:

The Hobbits will have mercenaries to hire, prefs will be given to deals that are to cut roads between leaders at war or distrusting each other; to deals with a nation significantly smaller than his oponent, and to deals with a defending nation. Please send requests. Frodo

Welcome to Power's Edge, Mswati!
