The explorers returned to the Royal Palace in Jonnyopolis, the newly built capital of Texas, located where the Rio Grande enters the Gulf of Mexico, and named after their great leader Jonny. The scouts that went north had the best news:

"My Lord, we have explored along the coast, and found very fertile river deltas, rivers that are called by the natives there the Mississippi and Alabama rivers. Most of the tribes along the coast pleged their allegance to us after we showed them our bronze weaponry and our fine trade goods. We then explored further north along the Mississippi, and found another empire; they call themselves Wisconsin. They then told us of the other 2 nations of the continent, Rome and Oregon. They have advanced weapons made of something called iron. They wish to start trade with us and sign a peace treaty with us."

The explorers that went West then spoke:

"We found the end of the Rio Grande, in a mountain range the locals call the Rockies. We also found some of the iron the Wisconsin people make their weapons out of, we should expand up there to mine the iron. We also ran across an aggressive native tribe named the Navajo; they might pose a threat to our settlement."

The third group of explorers then spoke:

"We explored south. The coast continues on into a land called Mexico. It's nothing too special, although we should settle there."

After being rudely regected by the King of Egypt the Ethiopian Ambassadors have returned to Aksum. But this journey has also shown us the metal called iron and it's toughness in battle. As a result King Eon has began to make and stockpile weapons made of Iron. Also Seeing the eygptian Ships designed for war we have made rough improvements to our ships. As our Semaphore Stations and road Links have begun to be finished we will continue to expand. Another Thing our ambassadors saw was the temples to religion and the Housing for the King in Egypt. Some people have begun talking and have aggreed that our King needs a grand Palace.

To Indochina/Vietnam/whatever-its-called: I propose that we agree to split the Gangean Sea (RL Bay of Bengal). I will take all land west of a point just east of the northernmost part of the sea (see map), and you can have the rest. Also, lets cooperate in conquering the native kingdoms so we can be more efficient in taking over the area.

Seeing a grand opertunity the king of Phoenicia sent messengers to Axum to establish friendly relaitionships with them. If Egypt wanted to be an enemy then so be it they would be isolated and with out allies. So the messengers were sent out and sent this message.

To the Great Ruler of Axum,
Greeting I the ruler of wish to trade with your kingdom and be a freindly nieghbor, as a jesture of good will I will help you modernize your navy and present you with these rare goods from Phoenicia.

After the messengers left with the message a group of merchants came in with a complaint there were not enough good ways to travel around Phoenicia, the king had to agree roads had long been ignored in favor of the navy but no longer there would be a massive project to connect all of Phoenicia. So he sent the merchants out and went to the city square and announced........................

Greecian merchants and travelors are also trading with anyone available who wishes to. Good quality harbors are being set up in Greek lands, and attractive thriving market towns are springing up.

ooc: Thank you Skilord, for your NPCs. Btw, you seem to share my sig. Impressive coincidence.

The new Emperor, who was much less silly than the last, sat upon his Imperial Bunch-Of-Silk-Pillows. Perhaps other rulers rode into battle and slept on dirt, but that would not do. He would listen to his advisors in comfort. Also in safety, with the Emperor's Guard to keep him safe. The Emperor's Guard swore an oath of absolute fealty to the Emperor, and their only goal in life was to protect the Emperor. They were not allowed to marry or drink, and they were the elite of the elite in fighting skills.

"Your Imperiousness, The Japanese Shoguns have been eliminated. Our navy crushed theirs, and another Empire has dominion over all of Japan now."

"This pleases me. Order celebrations throughout the Empire in honor of our victory!"

"Yes O Great Emperor! Uh, there is another matter... that of the Vietnamese to our south. They restrict the growth of our villages, may become violent as the Shoguns."

"This vexes me. Build our navy and if they hamper our growth, push them back."

From China:
To Ainu:
We offer our most sincere apologies for our lapse. Our dear late Emperor was quite sick and commanded that he be visited only by his concubines. His sickness dragged on and on and on, until the new Emperor visited his room, whereupon he finally went to rest. We shall welcome your friendship and trade, and give you diplomatic contact with those we know.

ORDERS:
Advance into Korea.
Continue expanding south and west.
Upgrade Navy
Enlarge Navy
Celebrate Victory, make mood improve.
Train 50 Emperor's Guard
