Woz?” Whicker asked as he approached the older gentleman near the fire. Woz turned to look at Whicker, revealing himself to be Ambassador Henry var Attre (loyal to Nilfgaard). “I was told to ask you about current events. The War, and so on.”

Of course,” Woz replied. “Let us approach the map.”

How's the war going?” Whicker asked as he looked the map over. “Aside from the part where Nilfgaard's victory is imminent, of course?”

The offensive was going splendidly – until winter came. Much of Aedirn was in disarray and we encountered little resistance. We reached the Pontar before the first snows. Only a weakened Kaedwen remained... and Radovid's Redania. We thought they'd sue for peace, perhaps even submit to vassalization like Temeria and Toussaint. We waited for spring, certain of victory... However, Radovid sent no peace envoys, nor did he advance on our positions. Instead, he trudged over to the snow-bound Kestrel Mountains... and attacked Kaedwen, his ally. Rudderless and rejected, they threw down their arms after just a few lost skirmishes – and joined Radovid. And so, by spring, instead of two weak enemies we had only one powerful one. This spring there was a massive battle in the marshes of Velen. Massive, yet indecisive. Both sides suffered enormous losses. Radovid has retreated across the Pontar. He's safe for now... until reinforcements arrive from the south.”

Can't you just go home?” Whicker asked. “Save everyone a lot of marching, not to mention a few human lives.”

I'm afraid the stakes are too high to fold now. We can only go all-in.”

Whicker took one last look over the map. “And what about Skellige?” he asked, pointing to the island nation.

Nothing. The islanders pride themselves on that, don't they? Doing everything according to tradition? As their forefathers did. Skellige has always been a footnote to history. And so it shall remain.”
