Why didn't the Kingdom pay good metal to the Tsurani to hire mercenaries to fight the Emerald Queen?

From: Raymond E. Feist
Date: 16 January 1998

Because the Kingdom was almost bankrupt just arming it's own army. Because you can't trust mecenaries to fight. Because the Tsurani don't have any, so you'd have to book a deal on the part of a hour in the Empire. Because you'd have to get someone in the Assembly to open a rift and make it convenient to move an army.

Because of a lot of reasons where you just don't bother.

And the biggest one, because you've got enough problems on your hands without inviting foreign soldiers to join the party.

Best, R.E.F
