In Game 1 the Ambassador from Zilmatillia, Meeash Han-Tiki Weatherwhite [Frances], was a regular correspondent with other members of the Royal Court. There follows a list of some of the traditional Zilmatillian ceremonious closings the Ambassador used:

• May the Kind Face of God smile upon us in this Venture,
• May you live longer than a cedar,
• May your head never bid farewell to your shoulders,
• May the Moon never fall on you,
• May Snakes never adorn your Pillow,
• May you never find Scorpions in your Soup,
• May your Heirs never be stolen by Mongooses,
• May Poison Ants never nest in your Head,
• May your Eyes always shine like Dewdrops even unto your Ninetieth Year,
• May your Soup ever be Free of Suspicious Unidentified Lumps,
• May your enemies' archers always sneeze whilst aiming,
• May you never choke on papayas,
• May moths never nibble your cassock,
• May rice grains never stick in the passages of your nose,
• May flies never drown in your tea,
• May caterpillars never woo your eyebrows,
• May tigers never surprise you at breakfast,
• May all your Eggs have Yolks,
• May the sun never burn your ears,
• May Termite never Gnaw through your Doorposts,
• May the sand beneath your feet be ever slow and never quick,

Rebecca Lanik in reply:

• May your Infestation of Distress be Infinitely Diminished,

Authors note: It appears that meals may have been a time of trepidation and even fear on Zilmatillia!
