Lords of the Earth 

CAMPAIGN TWENTY-FOUR

West Rome No More

Turn 45

1221 ~ 1225 Anno Domini
583 ~ 587 in the year of the Hegira

New for T45

New Rivers: I’ve added in some new possible rivers onto the map. These are rivers that were once passable by light traffic (remember Cogs cannot travel on rivers) and have now become silted up. You can dredge a stretch of the river (along one region border edge) as a 0.5 level project.

Gripes:

Agro as conversion – this has restrictions (see 2.11.5.3) which I will be enforcing from now on.

Rivers can only support light ships – as far as I know Cogs cannot travel on rivers. This also includes Cogs built for trade.

New Primates: We have two new Primate positions this turn. Jumal Skyfather, which is an Estonian god and the Coptic Church based out of Axum.

New for T44

Minor islands and City States: I’ll be allowing minor islands (Corfu, Jerba, Wight etc) and city states to be used as locations from T44. Just let me know the rationale behind why you want it separate and if reasonable I’ll add it in. Once they are created as locations, they obey all the rules of islands etc. However, their Gpv cannot go above 0.

Flooding: The last few turns have seen a massive increase in the amount of flooding that has occurred. It appears that the years are getting warmer and wetter. As a result of this some of the minor rivers on the map are once again becoming passable to river traffic.

Denmark: Following on from the Minor Islands stuff, you can see that Denmark is now separated out to Jutland and Syaland (Zeeland).

Announcements and items of note

General Stuff: Please use my Paypal account (stephenbrunt@yahoo.co.uk) for all Lords’ 24 payments. If you cannot use this facility then please let me know and I will see what I can do about filtering US funds to my account. I may also stop using the throneworld email address due to the mass of spam I’m getting!

Order Form: Please use the standard excel order form from now on. I’ll update the site with a link to it next week when I get some time. This is important as it helps me process the turn more quickly. THIS IS NOW MANDATORY.

Non-Payment: some of you still owe me some cash. Although it may come as surprise that this is not my main source of income, I see it only polite that you pay for the occasionally night out. So, if you’re under zero next turn I’ll not process you orders.

Version 6: Lords 24 uses version 6 of the basic rules

The Map: The map now includes India as well as Europe, Central Asia and Africa. I’ve greyed out repeated areas on the maps to make my life easier. However, this means some player nations are split across more than one map. I may increase the size of the main map but I’ll have to think on this.

Tithes and Tribute: I think these are automatically updated by the stats program, so no need to declare them in your orders.

Control of the Papacy and Religious Orders: In Lords 24 we will not always have a player Pope (or Caliph etc for that matter) and the following rules are used to determine which player faction controls the Pope’s actions, Papacy Rules. I’ve also added some stuff about gaining support from their armies

EASTERN EUROPE

The Varangian Rus of Kiev

(Orthodox Civilized Open Empire)
Izyaslav, King of the Rus

The sacked city of Moscow was rebuild with loyal Kievans and walls raised around its outskirts. Novgorod in Seversk and Saratov also benefited from newly built walls. The postal road between Kiev and Izyaslav’s lands east was completed when the bridge over the Dnepr was completed. The princess Sofia was promised to Lars Wulfson of the Orkneys. The marriage further cemented the good relations between the two nations when she travelled to Kirkval to meet her betrothed. Peter of Muscovy promised a full alliance with Izyaslav when the able Wladislaw and Vladimir persuaded him that his small province would benefit from Kievan protection. King Izyaslav took command of the Kievan infantry, over sixteen thousand men and marched into Kostroma with Joseph. One thousand infantry were given to Peter before the Kievan army marched on Kostroma. The Cossacks were beginning their assault on Suzdal when they met the Kievans in battle. They were greatly outnumbered but relied on the quality and strength of their elite infantry. However, three thousand men could not stop the Kievian storm and the Cossacks were slaughtered before the might of Izyaslav’s army. Only a few hundred men fled from Kostroma in panic. The Magyars caused some damage to Kiev from their raids from Pechneg.

The Western Roman Empire

(Roman Catholic Civilized Open Empire)
Basil of Ochrid, Emperor of the West Romans

Ochridia fell to the Uighur host. Although valiant to the end, Basil and Dimitir were cut down and the Empire was no more.

The Western Uighur Khanate

(Sunni Islam Civilised Open Empire)
Khagan Selim

Nearly three thousand light infantry wee raised in Thrace to complement the Khagan’s army. Trade was set up from Heraclea to Vidin and the Fratelli d’Italia and the Sons of Islam. Gold was the deciding factor in the deal done with the Fratelli d’Italia and they moved down through Greece to muster at Heraclea. The Fratelli, led by Claudio met up with the Khagan as he moved out towards Serbia. Serbia was easily taken as it had no defences and the Uighurs began their assault of the city of Ochridia aided by the Italian mercenaries. The Buwayids mercenaries under the comamndof the Turkish Gaurds had also arrived at this point but took no part in the assault of Ochridia. The city was not long captured when Selim was struck down. His son and heir Barjik was quick to claim the throne and the succession passed without dissent. Ochridia was to be sacked but without Selim to command the army the Uighurs were content to wait for Barjik. However, in the fight for Ochridia, The Roman forces under Dimitir and Basil were wiped out by the Uighur army of eight thousand. The Western Roman Empire is no more. Uighur diplomacy on the city state of Thessaloniki backfired when the Uighur leader was imprisoned for supposedly insulting Theodotus. He was later released but relations were soured by the event. Celil took stock of the Uighur lands and a census was recorded.

The Ests

(European Pagan Barbarian Open Empire)
Andrus, Kings of the Ests

The cult of Jumal Skyfather (Jumal was the name of the god of the sky. He was believed to make the earth fertile through the rains of the summer's thunderstorms. Among the south Estonians, he is represented by a wooden statue in their homes – seen on the map as a triangle with a line through it) start to hold formal ceremonies in Estonia and the religion gathered support throughout these lands. Fortifications were raised in Veposkava in anticipation of a Cossack attack. Indeed, Gcarson of Livonia was aided by Vilnus in defending the region after the Livonian’s army was increased by nearly one thousand new infantry. Over two thousand spearmen, light cavalry and some engineers were raised in Estonia for the King’s army. King Andrus also moved down to Veposkava and directed his defence against the Kalinin border. He was aided by Jaagup before returning to sire a son in Estonia. The Latvian garrison of two thousand men was added to the Estonian army along with a few hundred brought by Jaagup from Libau. The Cossacks were mauled by Kievian forces before the Estonians could arrive and Gcarson moved his men into Kostroma to meet up with Izyaslav.

Elsewhere in Eastern Europe

The Cossacks were thrown out of Patzinak when the Ademid Khanate regains the region. The Magyars raid throughout Eastern Europe. Bochnia, Walachia, Dubruja and Ludgorie all fell to the Magyar raiders. Galich and Goryn were taken and held but the Magyars as was the lands of the Romanii. The Kingdom of Hungary managed to repel the raiders from Banat and Alfold inflicting loses of two thousand on the Magyars. The raiders, now numbering some six thousand horsemen, pulled off two daring raids into Kiev. The Amir Al’Bahri set sail for Thrace and land their forces in Heraclea. Once in Heraclea they take a defensive stance against any invaders onto Uighur sol.

THE MIDDLE EAST

Heyrenik'un Armeniam

(Roman Catholic Barbarian Open Empire)
Anisha Amirspalar

Quiet times for the mountain kingdom.

The Buwayid Sultanate

(Sunni Islam Civilized Open Empire)
Hamzah, Sultan of the Buwayids

Hamzah ordered the construction of a new port in Kuwait called Al’Kuwait. The fortress in Persia was heavily fortified to protect the eastern frontier as was the frontier town of Qom. Two thousand infantry were raised in Abadan and another two thousand cavalry for the Edessan army. Twelve light warships were commissioned in the dockyards of Antioch. Mustafa’s son and the Turkish Guards were re-hired and after aiding the Uighurs to take Serbia, moved down to Attica and Athena. The unprotected province and city fell easily to the mercenary captain. The old postal road from Cilicia to Isauria was upgraded and linked in the new city of Al’Adana. Buwayid missionaries made some gains in Crete with the Moslems becoming yet another minority in the polyglot island society. Hamzah marries a young bride from amongst the Baghdad elite while he ruled his Sultanate. His uncle Nadir moved to Qom with Imad where he gained a valuable alliance form the city. Prince Haythan patrolled the Aegean, now a virtual Moslem lake, looking out for French or Salernese shipping. Ghiyath made some gains in converting the elite of Hastor to Islam. Some progress was made by Abdul-Hafiz in persuading the emir of Raqqa to have closer ties with Baghdad. Harig of Edessa patrolled the eastern frontier from Diyala. Khoury of Fars travelled from Isauria to Fars after discussing the Koran with the elders of that province.

Al-Khulafa'ur Rashidun

(Sunni Islam Civilized Primacy
Shiraj of the Buwayids, the Righteous Caliph

Mosques were built by Moslem devouts in Macedon and Thrace. Forty warships were commissioned in Basra and another eight in Antioch. The port city of Al’Adana was built in Cilicia. Shiraj ordered the construction of a great wall in the Levant; it was built facing West towards the Mediterranean. Shiraj also increased his personal guard by four thousand light cavalry. Rashidun missionaries were active in Galacia, Sicily and Torki and converted the latter to Islam. Shiraj travelled with the entire Al-Khulafa court throughout Asia Minor. Monasteries were raised by Shiraj and his followers in Lydia and Aleppo. Shafiq Hiba escorted the princess Farida Safawan to Alexandria where she was to be married to Harun of the Ayyubids. Qadir of the Akramds was married to her twin sister Fariha when he arrived in Antioch. Qadir then pledged his allegiance to Shiraj. Annas Safawan also became part of Shiraj’s court when he came of age. Negotiations to improve relations with the Farubids came to nothing, despite the huge amount of gold offered as gifts by Shiraj. Sadly the two Imams, Shafiq and Ghassan, passed away with a fever during these years.

Elsewhere in the Middle East

The Farubids take control of Syria.

NORTH AFRICA

The Ayyubid Sultanate

(Sunni Islam Civilized Open Empire)
Saladin, Sultan of the Ayyubids

The island of Sicily was heavily fortified as was Saladin’s new acquisitions in Adulis. Four thousand infantry were raised in Alexandria along with one thousand cavalry. Forty cogs were commissioned in Al’Qadi to be used on internal trade routes. Kurman was settled by Egyptian colonists to provide Saladin with a friendly government in the city. The royal road from the Sinai to the Levant was completed, linking Alexandria with Jerusalem. Egyptian agents foiled attempts by the Assassins to infiltrate the government in Alexandria. Saladin himself married Alimah of the Al’Bahri. The marriage brought a defensive alliance between the order and Saladin. He was blessed with two sons, one from each of his wives. Prince Jabril continued to defend Sicily against Salernese attack. Prince Harun married Farida Safawan of the Rashidun. The marriage brought a joining of the clergy between Alexandria and Baghdad. This was put to great use in Sicily where Rashidun missionaries enjoyed successful years. Prince Osman was married to a Dongolan princess. Sadly, she died in childbirth. Emir used the ill-fated marriage to Prince Osman to good effect as the region drew closer to the Sultanate. Imam Hosseini and Agman of Alwa were successful in reducing the resentment amongst the Sicilians to Ayyubid rule. Saladin could do little to stop the Sharif raids in Alwa and Dongola from far Alexandria. The ineffectual Emir of Dongola tried and failed to stop the Sharifs from raiding his lands.

Ummayad Sultanat al Oran

(Sunni Islam Civilized Open Empire)
Abbas al Basha ,Sultan of the Ummayad

Abbas ordered hat the lands of Merrakesh be improved and the irrigation systems upgraded. Taking nearly two thousand elite cavalry from Farid he spent these years ruling his Sultanat and overseeing the nation’s merchants. Valiant Farid al Basha set out time and again from Oran to attempt to push back the Adjou Aba as they raided across the Sultanat’s lands. Zirid, Kabilya and Tunisia were all badly mauled by the raiders and numbering nearly twenty-four thousand fierce warriors Farid’s men could do little but to stop them. Al-Zubayr patrolled the Ummayad lands around Santa Maria while Uthman ibn Qusai was based in Oran and was tasked to protect the Sultanat’s coast. Abd Munaf saw some success in Catalonia with the elite there but some Ummayad missionaries caused a scandal in Catalonia and set back the Islamist cause in that region. He escaped an attempt by a disgruntled Spanish nobleman to throw him from a balcony. Abd Munaf struggled with his assailant and cast him from the balcony instead. The Christian region of Aragon saw some Ummayad missionaries preaching during these years, with some success. Unrest amongst the poor of Algiers saw that city rise up in rebellion against it Ummayad rulers.

Elsewhere in the North Africa

The Adjou Aba come up from the Western Sahara and take the Oases of El’Golea, Hassi Talieb, Ain Salah and Gademes. The Ummayad regions of Zirid, Kabilya and Tunisia were raided from the desert before the Adjou took Gefara. The Ayyubid Bedouin, although few in numbers, threw in with the Adjou. Gefara fell to their combined forces.

WESTERN EUROPE

Heiliges Romisches Reich

(Roman Catholic Civilized Open Empire)
Brandork, Holy Roman Emperor

Brandork dismissed his heir Laresial from the German court. Laresial was to travel to the Knights in Malta and become a soldier for God. Unfortunately, Laresial met an untimely death on the road to Cannes and never made it across the sea to Malta. Heinrich was appointed heir in Laresial’s place and Prince Gerhard was presented at court. A fortress was built in Bavaria to stem the Magyar raids and the region heavily fortified along with the other border province of Meissen. Grain was sent to the Orkneys in exchange for gold. Brandork himself rules the Empire and sired three children, two of them sons. The able Hans von Matrunco moved to the newly built fortress in Bavaria and patrolled the eastern frontier in case of further Magyar raids. None were forthcoming as the Magyars had moved east in search of easier pickings. Alfons von Lausatia was unsuccessful in gaining more influence from the Knights when he spent these years in Malta. German agitators tried to stir up trouble in Thrace but the overwhelming presence of the Uighur army kept the small German and Czech minority at bay. The Bishop Joseph von Ratz had some success in convincing the recently settled Magyars in Austria to reduce their ties with the Magyar host. Brandork’s attempt to hire the Fratelli d’Italia met with no success when he was outbid by the Uighurs.

Jarldom of Orkeneyjar

(Roman Catholic Seafaring Open Empire)
Wulfgar Bjornson, Jarl of Orkney

Wulfgar Bjornson ordered that the region of Trondheim be better protected and new fortifications were constructed. Gold again flowed to the Rus in Kiev in exchange for assistance in training Orkney spearmen. Gold was also sent to Germany for some much needed grain. Orkney agents were active in Hordavil, trying to determine the strength of the relationship between Norway and the Svear. Wulgar himself attempted to raise the status of the Marteau de Dieu site in rural Okney but fell short of funds for the intended Preceptory. He later spent many months in feasting with his son and heir Lars and his new bride Sofia of the Rus. A deal that brought increased prosperity to the Orkney’s merchants as favourable trade deals were signed. Hekla Wulfdatter gained some influence in the Marteau when she travelled to Brest with much gold. Gretal was unlucky in Fjordane with Lief as the region stubbornly refused to gain closer ties with the Orkneys. Poor Erik died in captivity before the Kingdom of Munster was destroyed. His body was later released to the Orkneymen. Bjorn moved throughout Ireland with Stal Fericson, garrisoning Dublin, Lienster and Connaught. He man managed to raise a Preceptory for the Marteau de Dieu in Ulster. Severe flooding struck Iceland in 1223 but caused minimal damage.

Kingdom of Svear

(Roman Catholic Seafaring Open Empire)
Arnold Erikson, King of the Svear

Quiet times for the Svear and their Norwegian allies.

Norman Kingdom of France

(Roman Catholic Civilized Open Empire)
Louis VII, King of France

The city of Bruges was built in Flanders and Peronne in Vermandois. The region of Limousin benefited greatly during these years. Prince roger was presented to the French court in Paris and the Prince Guillaumette named as Louis’s heir. Louis ruled his kingdom from Paris and as blessed with three new children with his new Parisian wife. French influence with the Vatican was increased and Paris saw the influx of many priests and clerics to help with Louis’s government. Prince Fulques raised an army of fourteen hundred mercenary cavalry before passing away in 1223. It was left to Guillaume and Prince Guillaumette to ship the troops to Petropolis. Guillaume returned to Marseilles with the French fleet and presented Princess Anne to the Count of Auvergne. The region was fully integrated through marriage to the French Kingdom. Princess Jeanne was left in Burgogne, apparently waiting a suitor that never arrived. Alain, prisoner of the Rashidun, was released on terms that he would never again fight in the conflict in Thessaly and made his own way back to Paris. The city of Aachen was struck by a severe earthquake which destroyed the city and its ancient walls.

Principality of Salerno

(Roman Catholic Civilized Open Empire)
Ricardo II, Prince of Salerno

The city of Calania was increased in size and a new city built in Spoleto called Pescara. Cogs were built in the dockyards of Taranto and Ravenna and put to work on the trade routes throughout Italy. Nearly four thousand cavalry were raised in Calania and put under the command of Enrico Porro. Some forts were built to defend the valuable region of Verona. Salernese agents were active in stirring up unrest in Sicily and Palermo but their actions backfired when Salernese missionaries were blamed for the trouble and killed by the mob. Ricardo II rules the Principality from Campania and married his daughter Paulina to Renato Anselmi on her fifteenth birthday. Renato was active in Spoleto were he gained an alliance from the province. The old Duke of Romagna died during these years and the province dropped back from a full alliance with Naples. Matteo Tagliariol pulled out of Naples with fourteen triremes and forty cogs. Skirting around the Italian coastline he entered Venice where he picked up a further twenty one triremes. Akramid scouts had been watching for Christian ship movements in the Eastern Mediterranean and set sail to intercept the Salernese. Matteo barely outran the Akramid fleet before pulling into Calania. Once in the port he gave over the ships to Enrico. Enrico himself was massing an army in the port when the ships were joined to his cavalry and the six thousand infantry, half of which were Italian mercenaries, under his command. The new Bishop from Rome was dispatched to Savoy to determine why Salernese diplomacy was so ineffectual there. His only findings were a strong anti-Salernese sentiment amongst the Savoyard elite.

Saxon Kingdom of England

(Roman Catholic Civilized Open Empire)
Domnall I, King of England

The plague ravaged city of London was partially rebuilt, its walls being removed to make way for the new housing. The walls of Diva were also removed and a new port fortress built against the Irish Sea. English missionaries were active in Dyffed where the Welsh heretics were gradually being converted back to Catholicism. Domnall himself was blessed with two healthy sons, a third dying in childbirth. Lord Quinton travelled to the break-away region of Cornwall but was unsuccessful in persuading them to rejoin with England. Meanwhile, Lord Montague worked with King Domnall to protect the Kingdom from London.

The Akramid Caliphate

(Sunni Islam Civilized Open Empire)
Tiroman, Caliph of the Akramids

One thousand elite cavalry were raised in Seville and the same number of light cavalry in Andalusia. The region of Granada was greatly improved. Prince Qadir travelled to Antioch with Prince Obrahim. Once in the city he took Farha Safawan as his bride and cemented relations between to Rashidun and the Akramids. As a result of the marriage the Imams from both nations could freely operate throughout their lands. Akramid agents found and stopped an attempt by an organisation called the Fratelli del Nord to infiltrate the highest reaches of the Seville government. Tiroman himself took two further wives and was blessed with further children. Badr and the Iman Dabir split the Akramid fleet between them; each leader had command of roughly 190 ships. They sailed out of Madiera to the Aegean where they were tasked with interdicting any Christian fleet in these seas or nearby. Alerted by Salernese movement up the Adriatic the Akramids almost caught the Italians before they harboured in Naples.

The Papal States

(Roman Catholic Civilized Primate)
Clement IV, Pope

Much influence was gained during these years amongst the nations of Christendom. Pope Clement was disappointed when many new sites he had envisioned failed to be built. At least an Abbey was built in Swabia by Cardinal Colonna. Cardinal Bearne suffered greatly at the hands of the Savoyards when they branded him a heretic and burned him at the stake. The holy site there was burnt to the ground.

Elsewhere in Western Europe

The Duchy of Poland begins the cultivation of Polotsk. La Milice du Anacletus builds a new Order House in Lorraine and Le Marteau de Dieu a House in Dublin. Colchis is now friendly to the Oriental Roman Empire. Gascony becomes an ally of Aragon. Prince Euthenius of the Western Roman Empire and Thessaloniki dies a prisoner of the Uighurs. The Knights of Malta raise Houses in Naples and Calania.

AFRICA

Usama-Yoruba Onium of Ibo

(African Pagan Civilised Open Empire)
Bhatamai, King of the Ibo

Roads were built in the newly acquired western regions to improve communications with Ife. Bhatamai himself rules the vast empire and was blessed with yet another daughter to his growing brood. Prince Palamba was unlucky in Goroul when negotiations took a backwards step. However, Jamba proved successful in improving relations with the Sudanese. Itogo waited with the might of the Iboan army. Twenty three thousand spears were under his command in case of raids from the upstart Adjou. No sign of the enemy was seen as they had set their sights on easier targets to the north. Ubaya also had a quiet time in Khalem when his force of fourteen thousand cavalry was on standby for the Adjou. Despite the newly built roads, the Onium was becoming increasingly harder to manage and it was only the bloated government of Ibo and the skills of Bhatamai himself that kept things running efficiently.

The Mwene-Mutapa Empire

(African Pagan Civilised Open Empire)
Jafar Bikoi, Emperor of Mapungubwe

Jafar was saddened by the loss of his wife Ayalla Biko in 1222. The army of Mapungubwe continued to increase with four thousand men recruited in Rozwi under the command of Amechi Abate. More followers of Unkulukulu left the religion as the pity of the nation decreased yet again. Binta Chango completed the integration of Kafue into the Empire

Elsewhere in Africa

The proests of Unkulukulu build Churches in Tswana and Matopos. The Sharif meet the Ogaden in Adowa. Although outnumbers, the Ogaden inflict great losses on the Sharifs after killing their Emir. The Sharifs then take Kassala and raid into Alwa, Soro and Dongola. The Kanem force them back from Soro. Four thousand Ogaden then raid into Djibuti and Zeila after taking Lalibela. Djibuti was heavily defended by the Yemenis and the Ogaden lose over one thousand men. They were also pushed out of Zeila by the Adenese. The weaker lands of Sennar and Atbara yielded some loot for the raiders.

Central Asia

Elsewhere in Asia

Ousted from India, the Mongols fall upon the fragmented kingdoms of China. Ningsia falls to the horde and pledges tribute in gold and grain. The Chugachak are forced to reaffirm their allegiance to the Khan. Uzebek becomes cultivated and Khazakh is now Sunni. The Avar continue to raid out of the steppe but find Ilig too well protected. Their raids into Khwarzim see them gain a large booty in gold and grain. They also raid the regions of Frunz, Balkash and Turgay.

India

Pratihara Kingdom of Kaunaj

(Hindu Civilised Open Empire)
Kumarapala, Raja of Kaunaj

Raja Ramapala passed away during these years and his son took control of the kingdom without any conflict. His son Davarapala was declared his heir and Prince Janda was presented to the court at Kaunaj. More shipping was assigned to the valuable trade routes along the Ganges and Kaunaj itself benefited from increased investment from Kumarapala’s treasury. Further trade routes were established from Jodphur to El’Aqabah of the Farubids. Kumarapala was left to rule the Kingdom while Ramapala reclaimed the Mongol ravaged lands of Uttar Pradesh before his death. Two thousand infantry were left to guard the deserted farms and towns. Timgyadeva was assisted by Vaidyadeva in gaining closer support from the Nadavarians. Vaidyadeva passed away during these years. Ananda continued the integration of Thanesar into the Kingdom before his death in 1225. Th Hindu priest Singalapu brought Mandvi into the Kingdom. The massive city of Benares was also integrated into the Kingdom during these years.

The Order of the Dagger

(Hindu Civilised Religious Order)
Angada, Lord of the Order of the Dagger

New sites were built across the sub-continent by Angada’s men with valuable Oratories in Kaunaj and Chitor as well as lesser sites. His plea for new recruits was met by Tripuri and Bengal as new Princes travelled to the Order’s Fortress in Rajput. The region of Surashtra saw many converts away from Islam by the Order’s priests. More of the orders transports were put to use on the trade routes along the Ganges from Benares. The region of Nadavaria benefited from Angada’s largesse when new public works were built.

Elsewhere in India

India basks in years of calm. The only conflict occurs in South East Asia as the God Empire of Sri Vijaya continues its expansion into the islands to its east. Yet too small to bother the sleeping giants of Thaton and Annam.
