Loki the Wise, Raider from the North, Crusher of Brittian

DIPLOMACY: None

Loki stayed home in his lush palace and spent many night with his luscious new wife, who boar him 3 children. In fact he was having so much fun playing daddy that he was rather shocked when reports came in of his successful quest to conquer the Moravia. There was much rejoicing, but by the time Njarl, the very same who spent some hard years in London’s jail, returned from his project, Moravia had reclaimed its capitol. The fact remains that the Danes are a very blood thirsty group, this is the third homeland that they have taken in the last 30 years.

The areas of Savoy, Lombardy, and Verona were all pacified.

Abu'l Hassan, Destroyer of Christians

DIPLOMACY: None

Abu’l was aghast, when he heard about the Tuluinds, turning away from Allah. Something must be done, he thought. Diplomats from the Idrisids, and Aghlabids also agreed, so they all sent military to Tunisia. While Abu’ls trusted ally from Estremadura was in Galatia he found a very odd gem, but when the Norse came down and looted the area, they took the gem. Perhaps the arab’s should convert the Vikings?

In a fit of anger, Fabio pacified Moravia, assaulted Brunn, sacked the city, and then burnt it down when he learned that they to were out of ale. When Morgana returned from Thrace she told stories of the evils that those to the east do. Rumors started flying about the riches of Byzantium, and many now think that sacking that city may be a good idea.

Rumors of defections to Akan, Moli, or perhaps worse, or that he was a victim of an assassination. Ghana-Zu himself seems very unnerved as to his missing ally. A port city was built in Segu, and while the official name is Segu-Za, the people in the city has taken to calling it Gambia-Za, in honor of the missing leader.
