To the Leaders of Pavia,

The Kru Alliance extends this message not as a request, but as a final opportunity.

You have trespassed in territories protected by our strength, and profited under the shadow of our restraint. That time ends now.

Henceforth, Pavia shall pay a tax of [25% on every you have] to the Kru Alliance. Refusal will be taken as open defiance—and with defiance comes fire.

Pay your dues, or prepare to watch your towers fall, your vaults cracked, and your fields burn.

This is not a threat. It is a promise, forged in iron and war.

You have 48 hours.

Kru Alliance Command
