The taxes will be interpreted badly. This will not work unless you change the means to the end." "This is a temporary way to stop the war; besides, 'twas not my idea, but generally accepted." "Rather than occupy Umbar, Harad and Rhun, let them continue using their same governmental structures as before! Rhun and Harad were perfectly fine before the Shadow of Sauron corrupted and scattered their western and northern fronts, respectively. Simply work on relief efforts, and help rebuild what Sauron destroyed! This would be pacification enough! As for Umbar, Veantur is obviously very strongly upposed to the idea of you living, let alone occupying his empire and people, so, I suggest that if you leave Umbar alone, and help them rebuild from Sauron's tricks, you might just come to an agreement. Umbar only sided with Sauron because the Gondorians were prejudice against them. If you were to try and make that the history it truly is, Umbar might just give repirations. Both Gondor and Umbar have made very great mistakes, so I suggest that they both tend to their respective mistakes!" He then looks from Veantur to Ellesar. All of this was said while he was in the center of the room, standing up. What reactions does he recieve?
