Opening of Relations with Arda
Tir Eselyn -- The Ministry of Diplomacy today made public plans to open relations with Arda, including the construction of an embassy within Arda's chief state, Melkor Unchained. During a brief press conference, Chief Diplomat Alaric Morgannan said, "The position of the Confederacy of Ravenspire is to pursue diplomatic means toward ending any potential conflicts. As such, we see the exchange of ambassadors with Melkor Unchained as a positive step for the future."
Asked about Melkor's recent actions on Mars, Morgannan answered, "We found Melkor Unchained to be open to negotiations over the matter. In fact, they exercised a level of restraint that gives the lie to the usual rumors. From a purely pragmatic standpoint, I believe we can do business with Melkor Unchained."
The appointment of ambassador was given to Alexander Caine, a former military officer from Ravenspire CI/CT.

The sleek quicksilver curves of the diplomatic skimmer glinted blue from the reflected sea below. The small craft held only a handful of diplomatic staff, plus a pilot and copilot; among them was Caine. A heavyset, greying man, he still retained his physique from his years of service. The patch covering one eye socket, and the scar running from forehead beneath patch to cheek, bespoke his reason for retirement. He could have gotten a replacement; perhaps even one superior to his natural vision. But he chose not to; he bore his scars with pride.
They were nearing Arda now, and he directed the copilot to establish contact with Melkor Unchained. "Make sure they know we're on the way, and bloody well follow the instructions," he ordered.
