"Most noble Steward,

It has come to my attention that you need support. I simply ask you, to bend the knee. I will be as benevolent as I can, and will interfere as little as possible. As long as you recognize me as your sovereign. I will enclose what I would make law below. If you do not agree, I will let you tear each other to pieces, and then rout the opportunistic Variags, after they've mopped up the leftovers. On the blood of my mother, beloved, brother, and sister, I swear to you, I will keep my word. I can think of no oath stronger than the memories of the dead. Especially those that give my life purpose.

Sincerely, King Ohtar II, of the House of a Thousand Hands"

This appears to be the son of a rebel, who died leading a bloody revolt against the rule of Gondor, and whose family was supposedly murdered in a particularly heinous fashion. This man appears to be the surviving member of a family that venerated their dead to the point of near worship, and worshipped a war god who demanded Blood, Law, and Justice in all things. Like many of the Haradrim do. Not too bad of a deal honestly.

He receives a message back from the steward and a few prisoners of sorts.

"For this once I shall swallow my pride and bend my knee. This blood shed has gone on long enough and must be put to an end, one I envision you can swiftly bring."

Your faithful Servant, the Steward of Gondor.
