"Glosur-

''Sorry I cannot travel to the mountains in person to visit, things are quite busy in Umbar. I see that the expansionist, xenophobic Xin Empire is beggining to encroach upon the Harad. They are arrogant, and steal land and seek to make themselves the superior power of Middle-Earth. Although I know we have both agreed to a mutual-defense pact, the Xin represent a threat greater then many we have ever faced. If tensions should rise to war, as much as I dislike that possibility, I would feel safer knowing we had themight of the Silver Shield behind us, to decimate the Xin and make them flee the Harad, never to return.''

Sincerely,

Veantur II Elerion, Second of that Most Ancient Name, Emperor of Umbar, Prince of the Belegaer, Defender of His People, Shield of the Harad, Hammer of the North-Men, Sovereign of the Dark Lands, and High Admiral of Umbar." A letter is soon recieved back.

"Veantur-

''I agree on what you speac of. The Xin are a great threat to the safety of Harad and to all of Middle-earth. The Union has long had an eye on them. Rest assured that we are completely with you on this. The Xin will never reach Umbar or the Union as long as I draw breath on this earth. I am having arms and armour being sent to you as I write this letter. I am also assigning a garrison force of 500 men to tighten your borders if you will have them. I have also been approached by the Tauredain, with similar fears. We all have differances, but I propose a military alliance between us three. I will have to speak to the Tauredain, but if you agree, we can unite to ward off the Xinese threat. ''

Write back as soon as you can,

Glosur Darloc." Glosur-

''Thank you for your aid in stopping the Xin menace. If the Silver Shield is ever in need of ships, or resources, you have only to ask.''
