THE THREE MERMAID QUEENS
A thousand years ago Queen Mer of Merreminde and her sister queens of the neighboring nations of Moruvgach and Arkonia created a special elite society for the advancement of mer kind.
The three flowers on the embroidered cover of their sacred pact, The Merrecunium, symbolizes their sacred union. Princess Sarrodiettu is ruler of Arkonia. Empress Merrianna is the leader of the folk of Moruvgach.
Treaties like the Edicts of the West Merreminde Postal Union, and the Alliance of Mermaid Entrepeneurs are just a few of the official links between these mermaid nations.
The postmasters of Moruvgach and Arkonia honored this cover as it passed to it's destination in Rotilli.

KEEL TOWN, MARITIME HUB OF MERREMINDE
Keel Town rose to prominence 500 years ago when it became the commercial and maritime epicenter of Merreminde. The ships of Merreminde have traveled to the far ends of Amphora.
This letter was sent to the Alayan Isles off the coast of Alaya, a nation closely linked to the Federal District of Amphora. Also the location of the Amphoran Postal Union is in Utti on fhe Alayan coast.

THE QUEEN'S RETURN TO THE SEA
Once a year in Merreminde there is a sacred day called Aquagenesis, wherein the Queen of the realm is ritually encased in a special coffin, which is then sunk into the sea. A few days later she is seen swimming in the bay.
This letter was sent by The Mermaid High Command to the Seership Society in the City of the Moon, a nation state to the west of Merreminde in the Barbaru Highlands. The letter was passed by the Zukka postal censor, who may have been alerted to reports of contraband seaweed arising out of Mereminde, (a false report, by the way). The Loonese people of the City of the Moon were required to charge a postal tax of 800 Asteris to release the letter from the Gartuw Dead Letter Office in Zukka.
Neighboring nations to Merreminde have little real comprehension of the significance of the sacred rites of the mermaids.
