You approve the scholars work and hope they can share their findings with literates of Methiant.
1177 AD, Midsummer
Apparently, fighting flared up in the northeast.
Meanwhile, your soldiers have set up a heavy metal gate at the entrance to the tunnel leading into Orcworld.
1177 AD, Late Summer
Peace! Peace is coming to Helliste and Parsia and Cydwyl and everywhere, because Cyl met with emissaries of Rosamana; it has been decided that Rosamana will get easternmost of Helliste territories, and an 'inviolate promise' was written for all sides involved that Western peoples stay on western side of Bloodpeak Mountains, while Agaresians and other subjects of Rosamana are allowed free reign east of aforementioned mountains. Rosamana in return agreed to pay rather small sum of money as 'reparations' for damage she and her raiders did to Helliste.
This treaty has been already approved by Aubjorn of Helliste (against wishes of his merchant nobles) and noblemen of Parsia.Your Vizier in Parsia reports that he was unware of the nobles participating, nor that they consulted with him for any of these diplomatic matters.
As for war with Rosamana...
A) I don't see anywhere that Methiant agreed to it! Onwards, we drive the eastern savages out!
B) Obviously, the war's ended. No point letting our men wander the wastelands far from their homes!
C) Rosamana have not signed a treaty with us yet. I ought to have some gains from this war!
As for Parsian 'free will'...
A) Milk's spilled, no point crying over it.
B) Warn them that next time this won't be tolerated.
C) Demand tribute for your neighbour's independent thought.
As for Cyl's involvement and lack of cooperation with you...
A) An insult to myself, to Methiant, and Emperor's office! Get me a priest; the marriage's annulled!
B) He better prepare some onions and ale because I'm preparing some harsh words and a rolling pin for when he's back home!
C) He is a politician and a talker, and he did politics and talking. Am I to punish him for doing his work properly?
