*From the Desk of Omnipotence Skira Onolath written in oversized letters with a few ink stains*
Dear Honored Lady Miss Rosaline Benick Trade Minister
My name is Primrose Pearweed. I would really, really like it if you could maybe please, please consider a trade deal. I know that you probably hate all Thayans and I understand, I really, really do, but I have been told that there is a really, really small chance that you might say yes and that would make me really happy. I have also been told that if I do a really really good job there might be a small chance that I might get to meet you in person someday in Cormyr and I'd like that a lot too. Is there anything that we have that maybe you want?
Please
*at the bottom a stamp that says "Onolath"*

"Really...?" Rosaline reads the letter again, after making her way back to her office in Arabel's citadel and closing the door, then a third time. She rubs her nose. "Honestly, what does she take me for?" She spends a short while penning a reply, and sends it off with a courier for delivery. hexweasel

You wrote me back! They said it was unlikely you would write to me, but because you did, I got a promotion! Now I’m Assistant to the Deputy Scribe! I’m sorry if Omnipotence Skira was funny. I haven’t really spoken to her much.
Since my promotion I got to eat beef. Do you have beef in Cormyr? If you don’t, I think we should trade beef so you can have some. I’m really really sorry I’ve never done anything like this before. If you could maybe walk me through this so I know what to do. I would really like to make both sides very happy.
I am afraid I cannot come to your office. I might get kidnapped. I’m pretty sure you can come visit me, I can share my beef with you. I understand if you don’t want to though. They might ask you to clean the floors.

Another, somewhat curt letter is sent in response by courier.

So I have been listening around a little bit and it seems that Lady Arabel said that nobility does not handle trade deals and if Omnipotence Skira is a noble she shouldn’t be doing it either. Only little people do business in Arabel which I think is neat.
So I’ve been poking around and they have a lot of boxes with magical items and things. Are there any magical items you need? I understand that you cannot walk me through this but maybe we could trade. I could give you something and you can send me a book on how to handle trade negotiations. The Deputy Scribe told me that if I mess this up I will be Dramatically Demoted.
So I thought Omnipotence was like a title or something but it actually means “All powerful” which is weird because how can so many people be all powerful? Speaking of which if you have a dictionary handy that would be great. They use a lot of big words.
