As a Kingdom with a proud Celtic heritage the Kingdom of Eigg would be honoured if we could stand once more shoulder to shoulder with our Celtic cousins across the globe. With this in mind it is my intention in the coming weeks to propose to the Standing Council of the Federation of Dál Riata that we join this organisation. While the Treaty looks promising on paper I am uncertain of how it is functioning in reality. As such I would like to host a representative of each member nation in Eigg so I may find out more about the organisation and draft my proposal to the Standing Council.

It is also my hope that should the Standing Council somehow reject my proposal work can be done between us to somehow all my Kingdom to enjoy closer relationships with their Celtic kin.

Blessings of The Morrigan to you and yours.

To:- Queen Aoife

It has been regrettable that the Kingdom of Seaforth has failed to form a strong relationship with a nation that we share so many similarities with.

As such I will be delighted to accept your invitation and send a representative to help explore your proposal and I hope we can be successful.

I look forward to hearing of the talks.

Best Regards

King Andrew III of Seaforth.
