To Elia of Lear, and any who would be her allies:

We crown ourselves here at Dondubhan, where the kings of Lear have been crowned for seven generations. The island is ours: I who am Gaela King, and I who am Regan Queen, for the king who was our father named us his true heirs, and as we have made the necessary rituals of our people, so shall we rule.

If you would meet us on this island, be it as subject to her king. We shall appear on the plains of Errigal on the Fourday of this month’s dark week. There you shall submit to our rule. If you choose otherwise, death or exile will be the only way forward. Copies of this letter fly to every corner of Innis Lear, so that all understand our first decree, even so that the very wind and roots understand.

Your sisters and rulers,

Gaela King of Lear
Regan Connley of Lear
