Turn+1

To the Artificers Guild Very well your propose a contest with the Scholarium, well then a contest it shall be, and the winner will be granted the support of the kingdom. And if you wish to obtain the Minstry of Finance then you must compete to for the Zexan Consortium is already working on a tax plan that will satisfy both the Nobles and the Treasury, can you do one better.

To the Legion-General Callahan [PM] I will reinforce your position.

To the Legions All Legions will receive at least [5] wealth.

Each Legion is ordered to send ten percent of its forces north. A further ten percent or more will be cause for [10] Wealth of supplies to be distributed to the legion. Furthermore each legion will be evaluated in the coming campaign against the monsters of the Broken Back Mountains. The most effective legion will be released the full amount of supplies it has requested which have not already been provided, and the second half. Legion Commanders are appraised that this is an appraisal of their legions skill. Legions which prove themselves are to be commended and rewarded. Legions that prove themselves lacking will not.

As the Albatrosses are specialized for naval combat they are exempt from this command and will receive 10 supplies regardless of what they send or do. But they may still send troops if they wish to prove their mettle.

OOC: Can we continue this on quicktopic to be easier. I don't mind the collated conversations being posted afterwards its not very secret, but quicktopic would allow for faster responses, at least on my end.

I will tell you what I will do lord Tercel. I will give you a chance to prove yourself. Tell the clerks that you have my leave to read the reports on other lands. Consider them and then tell me how you would address them. You will have a year to prove yourself with leading the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If you do well then your position will become permanent. If not then I will find another candidate.
 * To House Tercel**

You are welcome in Primval any time that you wish to speak with me.
 * To the Silver Shields**

I have found the affairs of state to be many and pressing. And while I do not doubt my own judgment I am still only man. I do not believe that I will be able to rule the Kingdom of Trieste with a fair and even hand. If I focus on one area then another must go unresolved. And such would lead to resentment and eventually the very civil wars I seek to prevent. As such I am forming a council. Four counselors to aid me in the matters of rule. And as each of you was but a hair's breadth from securing the support of the people even before me, I have chosen each of your factions. Send whomever you choose to represent your seat on this new council. Or if you wish decline. I will not begrudge you the unwillingness to rule. I would not do so myself if a choice was at hand. Once all who choose to come are assembled we can discuss what is to come.
 * To the Silver Shields, the Golden Circle, House Aenaris, and the Church of the Endless Ocean**

You may have it if you wish. However you may wish to discuss such matters with the other counselors first.
