-There, that takes care of that, now there was just that one strange little note from our friend, the explorer Zakarevh. It seems the Koreans are looking for a man that fits his description. I wonder why..?

Wang Ka himelf wil ltravel to Russia to see the wedding, he is very interested in all things Russian.


especialy Russian Scouts who resemble an assassin

[Persia (DoC)]

Fed'Az read the invitation.
Then he returned a letter to Dominika:

Dominka,

Congratulations on your excellent choice!
I will come as requested.

My gift to you will be that your marriage will be sealed by the Greatest Guru of all.
Yes, that's right, I will personally perform that ceremony to bind the both of you together for all eternity.

Fed'Az

[Korea (DoC)]

Wang Ka arrived in Constantinople and orgaised for a fisherman to take him across the channel to the new russian lands. Whislt in constantinople he did meet with many of the Byzantine great. He told Theo his friend that he would retunr from the wedding to discuss matters close to both thir hearts.

Wang Ka enjoyed the spray of the sea once he was finaly abourd, he had been travelling the big continent for so long and he did not enjoy being surrounded by land as far as the eye could see, he was a beach boy at heart.

Upon arrving at the Russian port he ws bussled by a group of russian genrals. Wang Kas gurads pulled swords but wang ka waved them down

"It was accidental my brothers they are but drunk with Vodka, it is the anniversary of the endof the greatwar with byzantine which russia won"

Wang kas guards pushed the Russian generals aside and cleared a path.

The Great Wang Ka strode down the wharf to a waiting golden chariot. He waited till he was abourd before looking into his hand at the paper that had been forced in their by one drunken russian general.

Wang Ka nodded, Yes, he thought, the world knew truly it wasnt the russians who forced the byzantine down, it was the threat of persia. Yes he thought, we all know, so why would a Russian general give him this leaked message from Persia to Byzantine.

He held the paper close to the chariots lantern and the paper busrt into flame.

He smiled and rushed to his quarters, this would be exciting to see Russia so close.

[Persia (DoC)]

		Guru Fed'Az leaves for Russia Fed'Az took a large escort with him. There were important matters to discuss with Russia and Ottomania. Letters had been exchanged already. Fed'Az had suggested plans for the greater glory of all three the empires. Plans that would benefit Persia, Russia and Ottomania beyond all imagination. The three Hastogian nations became more close then ever before. Now after the marriage these plans would be discussed in detail. But now first there was the journey to Russia. A short journey.

[Korea (DoC)]

Back in Korea the Great wang kas orders were being fulfilled even with him so far from home.

The navy had been ordered to explore and circumnavigate the entire Continent. trade was to be seup with everyone that was met.

To the far west was Rome and russia to be found to the East the home of the malinese.

[England (DoC)]

Rome having such an large army on our border is getting alarming, the western English provinces haven't done you any ill. It is clear of the equipment you bring that you plan to invade us and siege our towns. Please do turn back - diplomacy is the answer.

Attacking an English city will not solve you anything.

Until you turn back your offensive army I have ordered my spies to continue to disturb your war infrastructure.

Exeter

[Rome (DoC)]

Those troops have been moved as a response to your espionage actions, that you now admit to. After stealing the secrets of currency from us, you now are resorting to sabotage of my infrastructure. We cannot tolerate you continue to abuse your position of power to take liberties with our national integrity. Aeneas, Rex of Rome has put me in command of our efforts to put a stop to your transgressions. We repeat our demand for the city of Warwick as compensation.

Marcus Aurelius, Supreme Commander of the Roman Northern forces.

[Korea (DoC)]

Investigations into the assasination of the previous Wang Ka, continued. the investigators spoke to the scout who looked similar to the image distributed but he ws found to have an alibi.

Further "witnesses" were questioned and the trail lead further south.

The assassins themselves were found, dead, killed by others before the investigators could question them.

Now the investigtion was following leads as to who had paid for this huge organised attack.



this sword was found at the secen of the dead assasins.

[England (DoC)]

Roman you must be fooling yourself that I will agree to such demands, an English city for a puny technology that your own people willingly shared with us.

Your army looking down upon our city has to turn back if we are to come to an understanding. I have ordered English longbows to be stationed there asap. It seems you are finally showing your real character - but I m not surprised of your aggressive nature.

Until you reason and understand that we seek no trouble with your civilization - i fear that I have to go and lead the defenses of our western town.

Just know that if you invade us, the blood of innocent English peasants will be on your hands.

Exeter

[Korea (DoC)]

The old andancient Wang ka heard news of the rumbling sof war to the south.

He took hold of a piece of paper and wrote a missive with his one hands/

It was sent by express messenger to the English

Exeter,

Yuo are old like unto myself. The things your ancestors hav edone in isolating yourself from the world and infiltrating your neighburs to extract information was unwise.

Though we hold the romans in no regard as we beielve they were the nation behind the assasination of my father, we wish you would reconsider your actions and make some token offer to the romans to atone for the past sins of England. Lets not see this situation grow worse by your continuing lack of compassion for others.

For too long England has expanded and grown so much that others fear it. Show now at the last that you are not what they fear, make decisisons and actions to follow that show the true Exeter and true English

I plead with you now as i lay dieing myself.

Make good decisions

The Old Wang Ka

[Inca (DoC)]

I speak with my master's voice. Wrong has been done and wrong will be punished. Let none doubt it.

All Tawantin Suyu are shocked that their lordly master who did so much good and hurt none should be murdered. Only two men stand as being culprit in this deed. Quechua know that Egypt never harm them. Quechua know that India and Mali are safe neighbours. Quechua trust Korea now many years since a little dispute. Quechua think Rome is a friend of goodwill. What have Arab, Greek or Orangemen to gain from hurting us so deep. Obvious suspect is Byzantines but the man found was no man of their lands and his weapon came from another far off place. Only two are left to be tested. Maybe Russia hates Tawantin Suyu deeply for not aiding them but that would be petty gesture, is still possible, but have seemed friendly lately. Maybe England think Tawantin Suyu small and easy to kill. Apo's Council have final verdict for Capac Yupanqui to see now. How he decides I cannot tell but judgement will be final and murderer will be punished for all evil things they do.

I warn all that when Capac Yupanqui decides upon the evidence all nations that his judgement will be final. It will be announced within the next three Cycles of the Moon and the guilty will tremble.

Itya Wanapi,
Apos, High Council of Tawantin Suyu

[Korea (DoC)]

Korean investigaotrs rush to Incan lands to determine if any link between the murder of Wang Ka and the incan leader.

Meanwhile with no heir to the now very sick current Wang Ka. Korena law determines that a large debate shall proceed to determine the next Wang Ka. This debate of the masses is a tried and tested way of determining the next leader.

A mass debate always exposes the next Great Wang Ka.
