Tyko, Harmajaa
19 Septum, 1585
"We understand your concerns Ambassador. The situation in Balochia has reached a fever pitch far sooner than anyone could have expected and with a ferocity I think few anticipated." The President of Harmajaa said flatly. "We are willing to help secure lasting peace in the region, but you must understand there were intrinsic issues within the Balochian state that led them down this path. The activities of the Balochian government were not sustainable and no one can assume that, in the aftermath, any diplomatic solution to the situation would resemble the previously held status quo. To return things to what they were would be irresponsible and would only delay a similar experience. Surely, you understand that. Harmajaa is committed to peace in Balochia and the region as a whole, but this peace cannot be guaranteed unless there is a degree of separation between the Balochian government and the people it has subjugated for decades. The Lappish must be given what they desire: the ability to live in a land where they are not placed under a Vostic yoke. That is our position."
The ambassador frowned. He was being held hostage. His people were being held hostage. But what choice was there?
"Honourable President. I agree with your expectations and am willing to grant them, on behalf of my government, provided peace is secured and safety is ensured for my people."
The President nodded. "So it shall be. You have my word that Harmajaa will dedicate itself to not only ending this destructive conflict but creating a future in which conflicts like this can be prevented in the region."
In the following weeks, the rest of the Harmajaan military would be mobilized and would prepare to enter former Balochia to enforce an armistice. The Lappish pseudo-government was contacted regarding this ultimatum, but refused to respond at first.

Severograd, Republic of Severyane
19 Septum, 1585
The Balochian Ambassador to Severyane, Andresz Lupokski, was flustered. Every day brought worse news from across the border. He had not been in contact with his government in several days -- not since the capital fell, except for a brief conversation in which the president had practically begged him to get Severyane to cross the border to rescue them. He had also been in conversations with the Balochian Ambassador to Harmajaa, who believed there could be a diplomatic solution to the crisis and the Harmajaans were willing to pursue it to end the bloodshed, provided certain guarantees were offered. If Severyane could be convinced to significantly invest in ending the conflict, peace could be secured. He had a guarantee of this, along with the associated stipulations and requests
He arrived for his meeting with the Konsul early, and was desperately hoping he could secure a deal that would save his countrymen before they were destroyed.
