        raids. I have the power to end this war and call a truce, \

        stop fighting via \
        windcat message carriers.~ She points to the two windcats \

        'blue', truce. When my lieutenants receive the instructions, \
        they will verify my commands by sending additional messengers \
        with 'attack' or 'truce' instructions to each other. \

        one of my lieutenants is a traitor, who will \
        disobey my orders. Any instruction I send to the traitor, \
        the opposite will be sent by the traitor to my remaining \
        good lieutenant. The traitor will also take the two orders \
        he receives and do the opposite, if there is a majority, or \
        attack outright, if there are messages of 'truce' and 'attack'. \
        Thankfully, my good lieutenant will faithfully copy my \
        instructions to the other lieutenant, and will follow orders \
        received, if there is a majority, or follow a 'truce' if \
        there are mixed messages. My greatest problem, Priest, is that \
