Dear King Leopold of Belathre,
King Adermaign of Melnibone would like to open trade between our Kingdoms.
Great pictures Elric!!
(here is my "slightly" long winded reply)
I assume your messengers came over the big sea between our Kingdoms. (WoT that sea needs a name I think)Actually the Belathre kingdom is only the southern part of "MY" blue area. The Northwestern blue part that is on "our" sea is actually inhabited by tribes of unruly barbarians/vikings. Which have hardly heard of Belathre, This area is of land (and sea) is avoided by most people, there is some trade happening here though.
Therefore I think you will have come through Galadorn (Justindo's lands) to approach Belathre from the West. The Northwestern Duchy of Belathre is called Pilyorck and is ruled by Baron Halldor Laruns, a nephew of King Leopold (Son of the Kings Brother). The yellow has been dropped and there is more focus on the red of the Royal Coat of Arms (

When you come into the Pilyorck lands you quickly spot a holdfast your messengers are received most graciously and they escort you to the capitol, Heslarand. Once there Baron Halldor arranges for you to cross the Nentir river and an audience with the one of the King's counselors.
The offer of trade is graciously accepted and after a well deserved rest your messengers are on their way again. On the morning of their departure from Erundas (Capitol of Belathre) the guards are given a Velvet box which holds a twin set of daggers. On is very slim and elegant whereas the other is very stout. Even though their distinct differences they are most certanly a pair. The person bringing you this gift is one of the counselors (sorry no name yet, need to work on MUCH of the background details yet).
"Please accept this pair of Magical daggers as a gift for your King and Queen. They are masterwork items from the dwarves of Hammerfast, enchanted by our most esteemed Wizards. I am sure our trade will be fruitful>" With that he bows and bids you farewell.
(If there is no Queen, then only one dagger will be given)
