In celebration of our victory Russia will once our agreement is put into action, announce a royal wedding between Dominika Ekatarinova, Princess of Russia, Master of Slavs, Daughter of Hastog, Defender of Kola, and the Ottoman prince Pavel Murad-ib. All nations will be invited to send a delegation and witness the mighty armies of Russia and give gifts to the couple. In return each member will be provided with a detailed map of Thule, open borders to Russian trade ports and direct contact with the commanders of Russian armies for purposes of exchanges of knowledge or other useful transfers.

King Exeter leaves for Cuzco to meet with Capac Yupanqui and pay respect to his old friend Mayta Capac.

[Russia (DoC)]

Dominika ordered her troops to withdraw from the area around Rhodes, sent out the settlers that had been waiting so long to claim the lands that belonged to them and begun repairing the fleet after the Rhodes seabattle where both sides lost 2 fleets of Triremes. Our will triumphant at last, but there were some glaring problems looming in the future. The Byzantines had negotiated peace with Persia instead of Russia, a huge insult to Dominika personally and an affront to the sovereignity of Russia. If the greater powers were to make peace for others in such a manner, it was pure luck alone that ensured that Russia got what it sought. The Guru of Persia had been favorable to Russia, but would this last when a successor took the lead? And most worryingly, despite the peace offer being agreed upon by all parties, the Byzantines had not yet handed the city to Persia. Which resulted in Rhodes continuous blocking of the new settlements.

There should be no reason for a delay, what is going on here...

An envoy was sent to Persians and Byzantines:
-Rhodes must be uprooted for our people to settle, why are not the Byzantines upholding their peace promise?

[Korea (DoC)]

The Great Wang ka begun his voyage to the Northern Continenet, this would be the first ever expedition by such a high ranking official of Korea. An official invitation by the english was being repsonded to.

He left the Port City and headed west to the English peninsula. He travelled with escort of hnad picked sodleirs due to the Barbarian outpost in England.

He observed the huge empire of England offically the largest empire in the world.

Upon arrival in the capital he discovered King Exeter had left and travelled to the East.

Wang Ka gathered his people together and left.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Dominika,

I will choose my words carefully, for despite the fact that neither of us are probably each other's favourite people, I believe in building a new future which includes prosperous relations between our people.

I am sorry if you feel insulted. I imagine our historians will always see the history of this conflict differently. I concluded a treaty with the Persians because it was their open entry into the conflict which convinced me to withdraw from Rhodes, while your own invasion had been comprehensively defeated. I am sure you see it differently. I hope we can move on.

Regarding the implementation of the Declaration of Antioch, there are only two factors delaying it, both of which are in your court:

1. You have not publicly declared your acceptance of it.
2. You / the Persians have not sent any unit to Rhodes to take possession of it. You still have no unit adjacent to it.

(OOC the agreement is that it is destroyed. This can only happen by one of your units entering the city.)

My scouts report clearly that you have acted on the basis of the Declaration of Antioch, I can see your settlers and the withdrawl of your seige engines. Therefore to build on this I have instructed Bellisarius to withdraw the army from Rhodes to take up a position on the coast for shipment to Niceae. I believe he has now done this. I hope that this settles any concerns you may have.

I hope that you can deal with the two issues mentioned above as quickly as possible, and we can put this whole affair behind us, fo the sake of our people.

[Persia (DoC)]

Guru Ahm'Az abducted When Ahm'Az walked to the shrine, about 4 masked fat men encircled him. They pulled a bag over his head, and brought him tot he deserts of Hastogsburg.

Poem of the Romanoi

know of the treachery of the English,
hear of Exeter's split tongue.
In Roman minds there was a wish
England's path is clearly wrong

They take our land and other vices,
try appeasement with some spices
we wanted to put an end to it all,
but we were by far too small

In times when keeping neighbors friends,
When the olivebranch extends
They deigned to hide in shadows
Send spies risking Roman gallows

Going back on their dealings of trade
They left us, at this fateful date
with but the option to make a stand
and close the borders of our land

[Korea (DoC)]

Wang Ka read the poem as he traveled through the great Northern Continent , it had been handed to him by a merchant in the lands of Egypt. He shook his head as he read it.

This can mean only one thing. War was brewing again !

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Bellisarius and his bodyguard waited in the gate of Rhodes.

The last of the fishermen had sailed their boats from the harbour that morning across to Niceae. Just one trireme remained to take them.

The Russian macemen had been spotted the previous week marching down from the tundra. They had waited five miles from the city the previous night. Now, they were holding their position as the three Persians rode up to the city to accept its surrender. One clearly a Hastogian priest, the others an military officer and a servant, or so it seemed.

Few words were spoken, but the deed was done. As stipulated in the Declaration of Antioch the empty shell of Rhodes was turned over to Persian control. As Bellisarius' men bordered the trireme, they could hear the Russians approaching, and the sound of the tumbling walls echoed across the waves as the crossed to Niceae.

Many in that trireme doubted the Theodosius had made the right choice. The city could have been held indefinitely against the Russians - they had defeated them once they could do it again - and the Persians, well, let them try, if indeed they would ever have turned up. But ... they were soliders, theirs not to reason why.

[Native America (DoC)]

After extensive talks with the various tribes, Lone Horn VII (and family) continued his voyage of exploration. He was pleased to meet the tribe of Michael Vi Britannia, and be given permission to pass through their coastal waters.

He stayed a little time in their villages to share peace pipes. In fact of the tribes the natives had met, these Britannia natives were very used to smoking ‘peace’ pipes in special huts. The travellers were well tempted to stay longer.

Back home, there had been a major powwow between the natives of Poverty point and a visiting holy man from the Mali tribe. Most of the native tribes had converted to Taos but the braves in Poverty Point had been taken with the beliefs of the Hinduism religion.

They argued for many moons but eventually saw the wisdom of the Taoist faith. Poverty Point adopted Taoism.

The natives of Poverty Point then thought about sending a representative to the neighbouring tribes Powwow on Taoism and chose their chief scout to visit the Korean convention

[Korea (DoC)]

Taoism is spread to all but two Korean citys now. This one NAtional faith is what keeps out people strong.

Korea are keen to make closer pacts between the Taoist nations

The annual meeting of Tasoism on Hope Island is a chance for all Taoists to pray for the future and to discuss ways of spreading Tao to others lacking the truth.

But remember borthers , we are not as the others of the world, we are for peace and compasion. But let no one be fooled. if one Tao brother is injured all Taoists are injured. We will fight for vengence as one.

Deity of Korea Revealed





And a fesitive dance was performed at the new Temple on Hope island

[Orb (DoC)]

With the Russian war now coming to an end and the Persian war machine becoming
dormant once more many of the Britannian Ministers took this time to talk with Michael to
address the needs of the nation.



The ministers looked high and low but could not find Michael anywhere inside the Palace.
Then they received word Michael wanted them to go to the burial caverns under the
Palace. They walked until the reach the giant door way leading to the cave inside the
waterfall. As they got closer they notice the doorway now had huge metal doors with
heavily armed guards standing infront.



On the other side of the door everything was different. The statue of St. Michael still
stood in the middle of the cave but everything else was different. The cave opening was
sealed with metal doors and the roof of the cave was removed and replaced with a clear
glasslike sealing allowing light to come in. They looked all around and saw various maps
all around with wooden markers indicating troop numbers in detail.



Michael walked to the ministers, "Welcome Ministers of Britannia to our command center."
The Domestic Minister began to speak. "My lord the Russian war seems to be coming to
an end and Persia's forces have become dormant again. There is no more reason to have
a mass build up of troops. We ask to take this time to tend to our nation's growing
needs." Michael smiled, "I have already switched production to workers and A few more
settlers. No need to worry my friends once the workers are done we will go back to our
military mind and we will make our move to expand to foreign lands. Now if that is all
leave me for I have much planning to do."



The ministers all left unsure of what Michael is planning to do.
