I'm aware. I've put in a requisition for more stationery so you can write to family left in Sylvarant. Provided the families can reach a nominated border, they would also be accepted.
[It's not common, but there are ways for correspondence to go between the nations. There hasn't been a ceasefire in a while, but they have happened. Still, this kind of situation isn't exactly the norm. Tethe'alla is willing to take the families of naturalised prisoners as refugees -- provided the families can reach the border without being arrested as traitors.
[Kratos laces his fingers behind his back. Now he's the one gazing upward.]
I recommended it. The alternative is hard labour in the Toize Mine, and that would be a waste.
[That, and he is fairly sure that people willing to serve under a half-elf are, on the whole, more open-minded. Both sides can do with more of that, and people in that situation would be more likely to accept the change.]
The citizenship is partial, at least at first. None of you would be able to vote or be elected into official positions, nor would you be allowed on the front line; but otherwise you would have full rights of ownership, commerce, migration and marriage. Any children born after naturalisation would be considered full citizens, with those rights. After a period of ten or twenty years -- depending on rank, comportment, and assistance rendered -- you could become eligible for full citizenship.
[He glances sidelong, but carefully. Being barred from the front doesn't necessarily bar them from remaining soldiers, after all; and there must be some who would appreciate the chance to be something other than a soldier, and protected in doing so.]
