Part of my decision there was the assumption that no matter what we tried, it'd fail. We will inevitably end up going to Eustrin I think, and this choice isn't so much about getting to talk to the Queen as it is about learning of their situation before diving in. A letter is a reasonable choice since we're already effectively smuggling goods out of the back door to subvert Aram control, and a letter can easily be included, but the issue is still the situation in the Queen's court itself, if there are people on-site inspecting things like magical communications, they can similarly be inspecting things like mail, we might be able to get a letter to the destination but if there's an Aram overseer waiting at that destination it means little.

Embassadors implies sending people over, which will at least let you know WHY you failed, assuming as I do that failure is inevitable.
