The Tortallan peace delegation went to Carthak for negotiations in 451 HE. They were there to negotiate a peace treaty between Tortall and Carthak, but weren't very successful due to additional demands on Carthak's side. Fishing rights were the least problems once the Emperor wanted to marry Kalasin of Conté, the oldest Tortallan princess. The negotiation eventually failed and the Tortallan delegation was sent home, except for Veralidaine Sarrasri, who had been kidnapped by the Emperor before, and Numair Salmalín, who stayed behind to search for her.
