"I have come to offer my aid in the interest of friendship and a desire to see our neighbors in the empire regain their stability and harmony. I ask for no payment. I am aware of your Emperor's habits, but I understand a visit to his temple may rouse his essence from its slumber.
The form of any aid that may follow is something that will bear some discussion once I have a more nuanced understanding of the plight of the empire."
