The Sedonian counteroffer is: Give us Kajir, and set the border along the south bank of the Tal to where the river turns northeast towards Wyr, thence in a straight line to the south bank of the Tal halfway between Unnirand and Pran, and we'll formally recognize the Therani, and provide help in suppressing the Olozog. Any deal which does not include Sedonian possession of Pran is a deal-breaker. > The town of Corryn is the Morvali's one settled area and only port on the > MidSea. They don't see what they gain by giving it up. The Sedonian attitude on this point would be "Tribals? You don't negotiate with Tribals, you *dictate*." Well, that's maybe a little strong. Anyway, Corryn isn't a deal-breaker for Sedonia, so if Mir agrees, the Morvali can keep it. However, Sedonia does want Mir to have Tal, and will support Mir's taking the city. Sedonia of course supports Kaeir's retention of the Saltrimi March, but would prefer that Saltrim be under joint rule.
