The Great Kingdom of DemestrisDemestris LibraryOn arriving at Demestris Library, the delegates from the
Council of Other are greeting by a very fit young man with long hair of vaguely Middle Eastern descent. He is barefoot and wears plain white pants and what looks to be a form of toga but with proportions of somewhere between a tunic and a t-shirt. He waves the guards away and invites them inside the library. Inside, they talk diplomacy and trade, and are allowed to peruse the library's open sections at their pleasure for a few hours before they leave.
Diplomatic Interactions[Due to the amount of time passed, the Great King RETRACTS the offer of a Defensive Alliance and Military Access given to the
City of Norogoth.]
[The Senate informs
Sigylguard that Demestris will no longer be able to sell them slaves. The reason cited is that recent events have made the slaves required. Food will still be traded however.]
[The Senate informs
Sigylguard that Demestris that Demestris only has two pieces of old world technology. One of them is a personal belonging of a General and the other is one that Demestris would rather keep to herself.
[The Senate asks for non-military access to the Great River from the
Council of Other.]
[Great King Augustus informs the
Other delegates that a paper mill would be impossible since it requires trees to produce paper. The only trees available on this side of the Great River belongs to Sapiastan and Demestris would rather not get involved with them.] (Classified)
[The Great King accepts the terms from the
Council of Other relating to the export of grain for metal.]
[The Senate asks what the
Council of Other would want for building stone.]
[The Senate publicly announces the Defensive Alliance (but not the Military Access) between the
Great Kingdom of Demestris and the
Council of Other.
Trade[The delegates from the
Council of Other leaves Demestris attached to a caravan. The caravan is made up of 100 guards taken from the First Army. With the caravan are 40 civilians and 50 pack animals. The caravan carries 450 sacks of grain and rations for the men and animals. 1 sack = 10 kg]
[A caravan has left Demestris with 150 guards taken from the First Army and is headed to
Sigylguard. With the caravan are 15 civilians and 20 pack animals. The caravan has 45 baskets of assorted foodstuffs and rations for the men and animals. 1 basket = 30 kg]
Industry[The Senate sends all slaves to work on the road between
Demestris and
Other.]
[The scientists and engineers from the
Council of Other are received. The Senate has them begin plans for a foundry, a general use metal factory, and an arms and armour factory.] (Classified except for the
Council of Other)
Military Actions (Very classified)
[The East General (Fifth Army) guards the slaves working on the Demestris-Other road.]
[The North General (Third Army) retrieves his scouts and moves south to Demestris.]
[The South-West General (Fourth Army) continues sending scouts to Norogoth.]
River Hall Delegation[Having introduced herself, Rosalina begins travelling back to Demestris on horseback with her entourage of guards.]
[A caravan has left Demestris with 120 guards taken from the First Army and is headed towards the Commonwealth of the Free Peoples. The head of the caravan is an Elf. With the caravan are 20 civilians and 30 pack animals. The caravan has 20 barrels of assorted fruit juices, 20 barrels of average beer, and rations for the men and animals. 1 barrel = 50 litres]
((I need your response, SabreToothTiger. The response should basically be what happens there and - since the exact terms were not discussed already - bartering. Keep in mind that the Demestrian doing the bartering will be an Elf so you can play the discrimination card if you want.))
[Send a delegate, even if uninvited, to the meeting. It shouldn't take too long to get him there.]
((All city-states are automatically invited to the River Hall Delegation, unless you're talking about that East Mountain Delegation.))

((Hey Cryxis? I kinda need a response on that whole interbreeding thing so I can start setting up the Great King with a wife/concubines.))
