You send your mighty Army against the dragon!
6
The battle is a mighty one, worthy of song and bard's tale! In opening move, the officers managed to perforate one of Dragon's wings after quadruple volley of Thundercat fire, which caused the giant lizard to become flightless. Then, the footsoldiers and horsemen descended upon the beast like ants, overwhelming it. Finally, in fifth hour of the fighting, one young horseman called Ydwig managed to plunge his lance right into the dragon's eyesocket and into its brain, sending it into spasmatic fit that ended only with its last breath!
Despite many hundreds of casualties, the loss is offset by a throng of patriotic youths, voluntarily taking upon soldiery careers to be 'part of the best army in the world'.

Crafters and leatherworkers alike have turned the bones and leather of the slain Dragon into fine trinkets and souvenirs from the battle, all of these sold with a tax that filled the Treasury somewhat!
1134 AD, Late Autumn
There are some disturbing news from the east; Shapur began a campaign to reinforce the local religious orthodoxy of Eleven; numerous foreign cults are being curbed in power and their worshippers are introduced to a novelty but highly cruel concept - a worship tax.
The Alldivine movement suffers the most; many of the cult's keeps and manors were retaken by Parsian military and several promiment religious leaders were forced to relocate. This is particularily devastating blow because the Alldivine philosophy has first spread to Parsian region, then to Ceodwell and finally to the populous Luathbasian basin.
A) My fellow Alldiviners are being persecuted!? DEUS VULT!!
B) This deeply troubles the Crown of Methiant. King Shapur will soon receive a letter filled with my displeasure at his actions!
C) Eeeh, it's his country, I don't feel like I should be getting involved.
