Mr Johnston,

Your exemplary skills as a pilot do you great justice Mr. Johnston. Few outsiders have dared attempt the Oman right of passage, fewer have succeeded. I congratulate you. As an honorary member of the Oman brotherhood we can now offer you trades in our specialist Oman goods, a humble assistance I know, but we hope they can be of use to your cause.

Which brings me on to the main reason for this communication; the plight of your brothers in the League. Although the Oman are few in numbers we would greatly like to assist you in your troubles with the Marauder infidels. Alas, our warriors are taxed defending our territory. We have already lost two of our most precious dwellings to the Marauder assaults, and though selfish, we must defend our own families before looking to assist our allies.

Perhaps in future this may not be so.

Peace be upon you

Abdul Hadi
