I'm not against alliances, but I won't acknowledge other rulers.
We have no ruler; we're merely resisting Subilgarian oppression.
Our proposal still stands; if you ally with us, you will gain full access to our technology and resources.
Be warned, however; if you attempt to forcibly seize control of our lands once this conflict is over, we'll resist you, too.
Although, I suppose if you make a convincing deal to Spath later, we may be convinced tobe absorbed into your kingdom.
