Letter to Ratly (DM Bearic)

[WriterX]

Dear Ratly,

 I may need some additional information regarding the upcoming meeting with the Rat King, Sand Mice, and Ground Squirrels. Words have reached me of open battle between the Mice and Squirrels, can you tell me more details about the situation as a whole?

 For example, what is the reason for the land squabble in the first place? Does the land hold any symbolic significance to either side, or is it about resources available there? Do you know whether either side holds very specific beliefs or views that might impact how they will behave during the negotiations?

 I hope to organise the upcoming entertainment in such a way as to strategically weave around both groups' interests, try and see a commonality and bind them together. The right story telling, song, performance might impact the peace talks.

 Even something as simple as what foods or dishes both sides might enjoy, if we were to perform some Show Cooking, might aid in this.

 I want to avoid situations where a performance might increase the rift, or cause an upset.

 Other information that may be pertinent; Do the Squirrels and Mice, as well as the Rat Kingdom, follow any specific faiths or beliefs. What gods may be present? Are they in some way related to both sides?

 I know this is a lot to put upon your head, but every little bit will help.
