Tradition dictates that following the birth of a child in East Moreland the parents select what are known as Sword and Shield Parents. These are individuals whom the parents believe will act as good examples for the child to follow in life. Since the end of East Moreland's self imposed political withdrawal from Mundus it has become somewhat of a tradition for the majority of these selections to be from non-Morelanders when a royal child is born. It is hoped that by selecting people from outside East Moreland it will encourage the new-born royal to see themselves as a child of Mundus and not just East Moreland. With this in mind myself and my wife, Queen Stasya would be honoured if you would accept the position of Sword Mother. In East Moreland culture a Sword Mother is someone who has shown such qualities as Strength, Dedication and Bravery. It is my belief that in your actions while in exile and dedication to your nations own Navy you are a fine example of these qualities. I therefore sincerely hope that you will accept the role of Prince Llewellyn's Sword Mother and this can bring our two nations closer together.

As you will know as a Cultist this positions is someone who symbolises Loyalty, Kindness and Compassion, the way that as a minority you have lead the Cultists of Lymm shows these qualities. It is my hope that you will accept this position to bring our nations and families closer together. As two Cultist monarchs it is vital we stand together as far as possible and this would send a strong message.

With this in mind myself and my wife, Queen Stasya would be honoured if you would accept the position of Shield Father. As a fellow Cultist you know well the qualities such a position exemplifies. It is my belief you wise and honourable governorship of Bakkermaya has shown Integrity, your attempts at utilising the Ardian Assembly to keep peace on your continent shows Fair Mindedness and your attempts at making the Alucard a better place is a demonstration of Kindness. I would therefore be deeply honoured if you accepted the position of Shield Father as not only would you be a perfect example of these qualities to my son it would also further deepen connections between our homes.

It is well documented that there is a deep friendship between our nations and our families. As the monarch of a nation with a significant Cultist population you will be no doubt familiar with the concept. As well as being a good example of Dedication for the way you have given your lifework to guiding your nation, bravery for not allowing injuries to stop you from your duty and respect for the way you have honoured agreements between us I believe it is important this gesture is made at a time when we sadly find ourselves on opposing sides of arguments not made by our own actions. Accepting this would not only honour our family but also send a strong message that one of the longest lasting friendships on Mundus is as strong as ever.
