Akira stayed home to rule his empire and tend to his family. He and his wife gave birth to three more children, this time a girl and two boys. Akira also watched over the expansion of Edo and ordered several improvements in the new area of Edo as well as investment into the countrysides of Shimane and Shikoku.

The Shogunate sent a diplomatic envoy to the island of Truk, which had limited success, and many on the island embracing the Shinto religion.

Furanku and Hiro continued to explore the seas, and discovered several new rudders before returning home.

As a token of the Samurai’s gratitude at being given a chance to serve the Emperor, they expanded the port city Satsuma with several new public works there to help make the populace prosperous and happy.

However, Tai Sho Hiro spent most of his time guiding his economy from Agrarian to Open to better reap the benefits of trade and technological development. This was such an important project, that nothing else happened.

Khan Batu Gan, leader of the Mongol tribes, was sitting in his tent, planning his next move on how to continue his father’s dream of conquering and ruling all of China. He called on all his advisors, and they suggested that he prepare a defense perimeter of field forts, as the Hu Empire would move to try and remove the Mongols from Hupei. The Khan liked the idea, and ordered 4000 horse archers to dismount and help all his spare and hired men to build 40 of such structures (albeit poorly constructed compared to their Chinese counterparts). As the construction began, Batu Gan stepped out of his tent to inspect the progress, when all of a sudden, an arrow struck him in the back. His bodyguards, shocked at the precision of the arrow, quickly secured the area and returned the Khan to his tent. Batu was seriously injured, and would need the help of the best doctors to survive. In a nearby town, a man by the name of Zhuge Shao was renown for his medical expertise. He was rushed to the Khan’s tent to save Batu from certain death. After inspecting his wound, Zhuge Shao gave Batu a special ointment that would heal the wound. The ointment immediately alleviated much of Batu’s pain, and it seemed to have slowed the bleeding a great deal. Zhuge Shao was thanked profusely and paid handsomely for his efforts, and quickly made his way back home. However, unbeknownst to the observers, the ointment was laced with a poison, and Batu Gan died that night in his tent. Enraged, Batu’s bodyguards rushed to the home of Zhuge Shao with vengeance, but the doctor was nowhere to be found.

Now, the Mongol Khanate was in disorder, with no viable Mongol Heir. Bleda, Khan of the Bulgar knew the Mongol warriors rejected the idea of being led by a woman, but knew that they would not follow him without some sort of legitimacy. As a result, Bleda quickly took Mongke Erdene, daughter of the late Mongol Khan, Margun, as a bride, and proclaimed himself the new Khan. Mongke decided not to object to this idea as she had a knife to her throat during the proposal. However, Qara Enq, a general of the Mongols, did object to Bleda’s leadership, but lacked the ability to convince the warriors to follow him. As a result, he was killed for his ambition. Bleda had a formidable reputation as a warrior and a leader, and the Mongols eagerly accepted his leadership.

The new Khan had little time to rest and enjoy his new post. He had to quickly organize his now massive horde to defend against invasion. The Hu Empire was determined to drive the Mongols from their territory, and had enlisted the help of mercenaries and the Shaolin Monks. Khan Bleda had a difficult time organizing such a vast cavalry force of almost 90,000 troops, but managed to get them to surround the many field fortifications and await the Chinese onslaught.

The Hu and the Shaolin had between them well over 50,000 troops, including the mercenaries, almost all of which were on horseback, and many of which were hardened veterans. With the advice and ability of 5 General and Military Advisors between them, the Chinese Alliance launched a concerted and well-planned assault on the Mongols in the spring of 637. They managed to do a great deal of damage to the disorganized Mongol defenders, charging the battlefield with desperation, but the sheer size of the Mongol horde, and the constant barrage of the fortifications took their toll on the Chinese. Both sides sustained heavy losses, and the Mongols withdrew behind more field forts to recover from their wounds. The Chinese Alliance decided to regroup and rest their wounded and exhausted soldiers before launching another offensive in the summer. This time, the Mongols were a bit better organized, with Khan Bleda now having a more manageable force to command, was able to hold his ground against the Chinese offensive. Once again, both sides sustained heavy casualties, but neither side was about to give up on the battle. The Alliance would now wait until the fall to launch their third attack to liberate Hupei. However, Chinese troops were starting to show the signs of battle fatigue, and the generals knew that if they couldn’t secure victory before the winter, they would likely have to retreat and rebuild their army, as this war of attrition was starting to favour the Mongols. Indeed, the Alliance sent their troops in with their best tactics, but was matched in their skill and ferocity by the Mongol troops, and once again, the Mongols held their ground. In the end, the death toll was staggering. Approximately half of the Mongol horde was killed, and nearly two thirds of the Shaolin and Hu troops would not return to Hubei to fight another day, including the Shaolin Monk Hoi-Sung. Although the Alliance can hold their heads up high since more Mongols were killed than Chinese, Hupei remains in the hands of the Mongol Khanate.

In other news, Emperor Hu Song prepared city defences and sent Hu Tii to the province of Taiping on a diplomatic mission resulting in the region agreeing to pay tribute.

In other news, the citizens of Pienching embrace the doctrines of Buddhism under the direction of Sun Wei.

The Mahayana Buddhists spent their efforts in economic development and religious operations. Honan and Pienching saw massive investments, while the religious strength of Honan went up significantly. Little else was accomplished due to a high turnover of religious figures due to death. It is hoped that a younger crop of monks will allow more to be done in the coming years.

Tan Ri and his underlings, acting under a veil of secrecy, concentrated on religious conversion these past five years, finding many converts in Hunan, Hwai, Hubei. In fact, only Hwai of those three regions still had a few followers of the old Buddhism.

King Tri Utvaditya stayed home defend his empire and pass on his knowledge about ruling the empire to his son Suryavarman. Unfortunately, he passed away after two years of mentoring his son, which wasn’t enough to help the Kingdom manage its size, resulting in the government being spread too thin. Although the new King had difficulty ruling his empire, he did enjoy meeting and marrying a beautiful Champan girl, with whom he had a son and a daughter.

Lord Krang Eo also passed away after failing to gain ground on converting the people of Sagaing to Hinduism. However, Lord To Ser, was able to convert the last of the Pagans to Hinduism.

Emperor Hesharu, ruled from his palace in Maghada where he would also give birth to two more children, this time both sons. Hesharu ordered the conscription of another 10,000 Heavy Cavalry, consumed by his desire to crush the upstart Pegu after their betrayal many years ago. However, the Gupta ministers convinced Hesharu to give up his vengeful desire, at least for the time being, to concentrate on economic development. Many cities were expanded and several royal roads were constructed, as well as public works built.

Lord Eshasulu took up the task of diplomacy in Burma, securing a feudal ally relationship with the region. Lord Narumi stayed in Melindara and was able to secure tribute from the city. Priest Khuderbha was sent along to Gujerat, where he could only secure free passage in that region.

Sultan Rasheed oversaw the continued development of his nation, investing in two cities, namely Al-aqabah and Al-muwassem. In addition, the island of Socotra received settlers outside of the city to make the island more habitable.

Ghalib, the Sultan’s son, in Mecca, where he and his new bride were staying, decided it was time to head back to the capital and start a family. Fortune smiled upon the crown Prince with the birth of a healthy son. Prince Mahdi, Ismaael and Usaamah were sent to Zanzibar as part of a large diplomatic envoy, and the islanders were happy to welcome them, eventually agreeing to join the Sultanate fully.

The Patriarch Angcur, devoted his time to internal affairs, training his Heavy Cavalry, and overseeing the development of Ctesiphon and a Port Fortress in Hijaz. Work was finished on the Royal Road from Georgia to Abasigia, and the extension to Pontus. Missionaries were also sent to Cilicia and Isauria with success.

Cardinal Aaruhman kept busy by extending the churches reach into several new regions, While Prince Mustaffa of Aden was unsuccessful in his religious conversion attempts.

Bishop Parsifel secured the region of Taman for the Dahak, while Bishop Xoni furthered Zoroastrian beliefs in Ulania.

The Persians continued to focus their attention on their economy, enlarging several cities in the Empire. King Xerxes, ruled his empire and witnessed the birth of his twin sons. Valahazrat Daryush, Shah of Syria, Heir to the Peacock throne, took up command of many troops to patrol the border regions and eliminate remaining Eastern Orthodox influence in Lugdonesis, as well as ensuring that the Empire’s pacified holdings would not revolt. Valahazrat Kahin Firuzana, went to Kuwait to secure an economic alliance with the local Shah.

Lord Tarim busied himself with religious conversion of Adalia, and had limited success. Lord Borzu was sent across the mountains to the rugged terrains between Persia and Asia to search and destroy any Eastern Orthodox influence in those regions. Lord Mordecai took his silver tongue to Edessa and convinced the local Shah that anything but full annexation would be foolish.

King Ardashir, ruled while his wife gave birth to a son and two daughters. Aid was forthcoming from the Zoroastrian Church and Order in the form of Taman through diplomacy, and the rebuilding of the port city of Daphenous with a fortress to prevent it from being sacked again.

Emperor Sabatai, frustrated with the recent inactivity of the Kara-Khitai Empire, decided it was time to shake things up. Massive resources went to changing the organization of society from Caste to Clan, and the project was nearing completion as citizens of the Empire were starting to get accustomed to the new way of life. In addition to the societal upheaval, economic change was in the midst as well. The agrarian nature of the empire lent itself to readily to being open, and with the guidance of the Emperor and massive subsidies, the change was fully enacted. In addition to the various subsidies needed for the economic change, Sabatai also ordered the completion of the Kashmir cultivation project to ensure happiness among the many farmers in the Empire. The Emperor sent Prince Orku, Prince Baku and Lieutenant Jabq on diplomatic missions, all of which were successful, especially Orku’s in Kashmir. It was certainly an exciting time in the empire, and there was also much rejoicing as Sabatai and his wife gave birth to three healthy children, two boys and a girl. The only bad news in the empire was that several deaths shook the royal family, including Prince Orku and Sabatai’s mentor Lieutenant Hagatia.

Emperor Zarmihr took a lieutenant named Giv Gudarz with him to the city of Merv in Kophat Dagh where he was able to secure a tribute from the city officials. The same cannot be said for Prince Vahman who was sent to Bauluch to improve relations there. It is said that Vahman’s lack of tact would have got him killed if the region’s governor wasn’t a kind man who overlooked Vahman’s shortcomings and ignored his pleas.

With Emperor Zarmihr enjoying the countryside, and playing the diplomat, Prince Mihr had to forgo his studies to rule the empire. He oversaw the construction of two new cities, Vashir in Kash and Heraat in Firoz Kohi, half of a Royal Road to improve trade with the Gupta, irrigation in Afghanistan and wall defenses in Kabul and Gwatar. In addition, the Empire became essentially religionless except by name.

Diplomacy: Media[Ecbatana(oh)], Cilicia[Ludgonensis(oh)], Isauria[Adalia(oh)], Abasigia[Aslan(oh)]

Grandmaster Haezahd ruled his empire after setting up an Order House in Ecbatana. He also took the time to oversee investments in Kash, Afghanistan, Fars and Babylonia, as well as the rebuilding of Diaphen with a fortress for the Dahar.

Deverahd attempted to increase the status of a couple of Order Houses and then tried his hand at Religious Conversion. Unfortunately, he failed miserably in all his attempts. As did Gelbrehnd, who after having spent time learning the ways of the people of Parthia, was unable to set up a single Order House in that nation. However, Livnel, a newly promoted member of the Order, had a few successes in stretching the reach of the Farohars.

Diplomacy: Faiyum [Humanrapta(ca)], Liguria(ch) [Genoa(ab)], Campania(ch) [Naples(ab)]

Shortly after Patriarch Alector returned to Alexandria to head up the affairs of the church, he too fell ill and died before he could accomplish much. Alixandar was elected the new Patriarch while in Humanrapta, overseeing the consecration of a Cathedral. The efforts of Epitrophos in Liguria and Genoa as well as Pirithous efforts in Campania and Naples were successful. During this time, the majority of citizens in Provence converted to the Coptic Faith.

Grandmaster Sotutor received a letter from the Kingdom of Kanem requesting their help in bringing Akan, the Lords of the Gold Coast, to justice. The letter said something about spies and infiltration, it had obviously been written with fury and haste. Sotutor, disgusted with the idea that another Coptic nation would spy on another decided to send in a massive force to punish Akan for their alleged crime, without even verifying these claims. Brother Magius was sent far south to fulfill this task. He took a mixed infantry army of 18,000 men, composed of one-third elite, one-third light elite and one-third light. Magius was ordered to take control of Yoruba to prepare the way for the invasion from the Kingdom of Kanem. Magius had no trouble taking control of the region, and had accomplished his goal. Brother Maurelius was also sent south to defend Kanem-Bornu in case anything went wrong.

Meanwhile, everything else with the Order was going smoothly. Brother Alverius founded an Order Preceptory in Agoruvix, and Brother Sebastianus founded an Order House in Tuscany. That is until the year 640, when Sotutor passed away. The Order itself was not shaken by his death, and Alverius became the new Master of the Theban Legion. However, Brother Magius always had doubts and regrets about joining the Order of the Theban Legion, and now, being so far away from the Order, and commanding a large and powerful army, he decided he’d had enough of the Order and decided he would make the newly conquered region of Yaruba his home. Thus the Kingdom of Yaruba was born.

Patriarch Marsden told Osander, who was already in the city of Palermo, to raise an army locally, and to draft and deliver a letter to the new King of Sicily.

The Christian Church of God cannot condone the breakaway of factions calling themselves the Italian Kingdom of Sicily. We however are not without compassion for their feelings on independent rule and local autonomy.

Since such a small island kingdom would be unable to defend itself against Coptic, European and Islamic threats and since it finds the yoke of Vandal rule to be oppressive, the Church is willing to step in and allow Sicily the best of both worlds.

It will become a region and city under direct church rule. The current authorities will continue to run the daily workings of the region and city including its governing laws. The Vandal Empire has already agreed to allow the church unrestricted reign in regards to the solution of these regions and cities. It further agrees to continue to provide the protection of its national armies to any threat to the region and other the harboring for their fleets will avoid stationing any national troops except in time of war leaving security to the church.

In short the Italian kingdom is not seen by the church as viable or legitimate, it does not even tithe the church and wishes to take the regions government overthrow peaceful assumption of power and a signed abdication of the rebellion leaders in exchange for a dropping of all charges and positions of responsibility in the community.

Needless to say, the King scoffed at the idea, and was offended by the audacity of the letter and the unusually high degree of diplomatic incompetence. In fact, even the newly conscripted soldiers were befuddled by this move.

The Sicilian King feared the worst and began preparations for war. However, he soon learned that Osander fell ill and perished. As a result, the Sicilian King took a chance to try and convince the soldiers to join his cause and help defend his island kingdom, once word arrived from Vandal sailors that the Church was being less than sincere, and had fully intended to return Sicily back to the Vandals. As luck would have it (either that or a silver tongue), about two third of the leaderless troops decided to defect to the Sicilian Kingdom, on the condition that the King promises not to initiate hostilities against the Arian Church or its followers.

As luck would have it, Gelbius, the new Emperor died in 636, after only 4 years of rule. Pantra took control of the empire for himself, as Gelbius had wanted, having to children of his own. After the turmoil of the past few years, no one was in the mood for any further revolts, so the people welcomed the new Emperor to his throne, who had recently recaptured Zirid for the empire.

The Arian Knights of Carthage did very little this turn. They hoped that the Sicilian Kingdom would return to the Vandal fold, but did little to ensure that it did.

The cities of Alexandria, Humanrapta, Agoruvix, Tokar, Zoskales, and Heliopolis were all expanded again, and pretty fountains near a new coliseum were built in Alexandria. Also many well equipped and well trained cavalry were conscripted for the garrison in Egypt. Crown Prince Noniuso unfortunately died at a young age while trying to learn the finer points of ruling an empire. General Barintiulus continued to investigate the merchants and citizens of Alexandria, and collapsed during one of several heated conversations with a merchant.

King Zere ruled over his empire, watched the cities of Afarsa and Amurto grow, invested heavily in Djibuti and Amurto, and continued to push through reforms to become a Free economy and an Open Society, before passing away in his sleep. Prince Tamicat ascended the throne without difficulty. There was also some missionary work, which had limited success.

King Mawuli spent many resources to conscript many new troops for his army. King Muwali was absolutely enraged, some say to the point of madness, that King Can Frou of Akan, would send spies into his Kingdom of Kanem. He was heard saying, “Can Frou was supposed to be a friend and an ally, how could he betray me like this? He will pay for his treachery!” So he took an army of over 21,000 mixed infantry troops, and marched them straight into Akan. There he surprised Can Frou and his small regiment off troops.

Can Frou was absolutely surprised by this incursion, and could not figure out why King Muwali would betray their friendship and attack. Can Frou quickly realized that he was out numbered on the battle field and tried to withdraw into Akan city. But alas, it was too late, Muwali’s army stormed the region, and with no fortifications of any kind, the two forces engaged in battle. To their credit, the vastly outnumbered Akan troops fought valiantly and managed to do some damage to the Kanem troops, but it was a hopeless battle, and Can Frou’s Army was annihilated. Can Frou himself was captured and brought to Muwali’s tent.

Muwali sceamed at Can Frou, “You filthy dog, how dare you infiltrate my nation with your spies!”

A genuinely perplexed Can Frou replies, “What are you talking about? We have sent no spies to Kanem. Is that why…”

“Liar!” Muwali thundered, cutting him off. “I will cut off your head myself!” He says as he draws his sword.

But before Can Frou can finish his plea, Muwali beheads Can Frou’s with one fell swoop. Then he turns to his generals, who are a bit shaken by the vengeful madness that has consumed him, “Loot the entire countryside, and kill anyone who resists, Akan must pay for this!”

The generals took their troops and brought back untold sums of riches to Muwali. Muwali told his generals to put all the treasure into his chests, and then do the same to the city of Akan, burning it to the ground when finished looting.

However, the generals protested, “But King, won’t you allow the troops to keep at least some of the spoils? After all, looting is hard and difficult on the moral of the troops.”

Muwali didn’t even reply, just gave an angry stare at his generals. The generals quickly realized that Muwali was not to be reasoned with. No, they would have to act to betray their King before he brings about the ruin of the entire Kingdom. Upon hearing about the madness and selfishness of the King, the troops and generals mutinied and stormed Muwali’s tent at night, killing him and all his leaders and government officials.

One of the generals proclaimed, “Men, we must now return to Capital. The King and Prince Zambuku are dead, we have taken this road, and now we must continue.”

And continue they would. The army returned to Ngazargumu, and captured Jimi, and the remaining royal family and imprisoned them. The lead general proclaimed himself the new Ruler of Kanem, and surprisingly enough, the Kingdom accepted this new dictatorship.

Diplomacy: Dardnia(f), Thrace[Heraclea(f)], Epirus(n/e)[Kluj(n/e)], Dacia Med.(-nt), Meosia(-nt)

Emperor Heraklios continued putting all his energy to getting the empire back on its feet. Well, alright, not all of it, after all, he did venture off to visit the Comes of Dacia Mediterranea, marrying a lady of the House. Upon his return to Constantinople, he and his new wife would often retire early in the evenings, which happily yielded two healthy sons. However, Heraklios did pay off the other half of the defaulted loan, expanded the city of Thessaloniki, built the city of Athenos in Attica, and the port city of Pherae in Thessaly. Further, seeing as how the Empire cannot stand unless it is united and wealthier, he sends forth his princes and lieutenants to bring the allies of the region closer with success in Dardnia and Heraclea. Unfortunately, he also sent his diplomatically challenged generals on several diplomatic missions. Leviticus was ineffective in Epirus and Kluj, while Theodorus managed to insult both the Comes of Dacia Med. and Meosia to the point of them deciding to withdraw their military support of the empire before he died.

The Order completed its transition from a slave economy to a free one, and Grandmaster Aechylus sang the praises of Abolition, and his followers accepted this change. Euripides joined Demetrius in the quest to find the Greek Fire. Demetrius died on the quest, but progress was made.

While ruling at home, King Theodoric sent Alaric and Osoric to Kiev where they arranged a diplomatic marriage between King Theodoric and the sister of the Kievan Lord. With the marriage, Kiev declared an Alliance with the Goths. His military also saw modest growth, and the cultivation project in Kirov was continuing.

King Isbert stayed home to rule the Kingdom, and witnessed the birth of his daughter Katla, and then Kalinda. Unfortunately there was some bad news for the Royal Family these past five years. Isbert’s eldest son, and Heir to the throne, decided to take a ship and explore the seas, unfortunately he was never heard from again. Isbert’s younger brother Ivanhord was also never heard from again after taking a light cavalry army into the steps to gather more slaves. Rumors have it that Ivanhord’s army enslaved the population of Tabolsk, and then continued on with several slave raids, and it was on one of those raids that Ivanhord’s army took heavy losses, such that the slaves revolted and slaughtered Ivanhord and his remaining troops.

On a positive note, the Teutons were finally able to succeed in yet another attempt to lower the religious strength of the nation, and a port fortress in Sviria was erected.

Emperor Claudius ruled his empire, added some public works to Naples, and conscripted 6000 Infantry men. He and Queen Vespa also added another daughter to their large family. Cabult and Augusta stayed in Provence, bringing the region fully into the fold, while Lucius traveled to Rome and secured a mutual defense treaty with the city’s officials.

Magnulf took over the throne after Emperor Leonus passed away. Very little happened in the Empire, just a few elite soldiers were conscripted, and Karlovac received much needed irrigation.

King Julius Agricola ruled his Kingdom and added two news sons to his family. Prince Ardran went to Dyffed with the Bishop and convinced the people there to fully embrace the Kingdom. While in Dyffed, Ardran found a lovely young noble girl, and the Bishop was honoured to marry them. Prince Antonius Pius took an army to Albion to pacify the region and then grant it to Lord Bertin under a Feudal arrangement. Antonius then offered diplomatic overtures, but the region was not ready for more changes, and wanted a little stability first. settled Gwynned with friendlier citizens, and just before he passed away, he released his grip on the people of Eire. Prince Julius assumed the throne without difficulty, having been married four years earlier and siring a son and a daughter as he ruled in the Royal Palace. Prince Ardan was sent to Iona in the Isle of Man to settle the island and city. Lord Halifax improved relations with the citizens of Dyffed, but not as much as he would have liked considering the amount of effort he put into diplomacy.

King Iver ruled his empire and had three beautiful children with his Queen Martha, two boys and a girl. Prince Saur traveled to Smaland and begun the religious conversion of the people there. Prince Fils and Lord Aleck travelled to Denmark to fully resettle the region and rebuild the city of Odinsmunda, a proud achievement for the Norwegians. Unfortunately Prince Fils died before this great achievement was fully realized. Lord Aleck then traveled to Zealand, but his diplomatic efforts were ineffective there. Lord Lans’ diplomatic efforts in Skane, however, were well received, and the region declared an economic alliance with the Norwegians.

The Church managed to secure a tithe from the Huari, who are now devout Christians.

King Drust patrolled the waters as his heir Iain ruled the Kingdom. Iain oversaw the construction of a much needed sewer system in the capital, and had a son and daughter with his wife from Arawak. Mother Grania and Lord Vertengorix traveled to Yucatec on a diplomatic mission, but Vertengorix soon fell ill and died, and Mother Grania died as well a year later from the same illness. The loss of Grania was deeply felt throughout the Kingdom. Lord Stephen traveled to Chitimacha, and with an arranged marriage for the King, he was able to secure an economic alliance with the region.

King Patamon stayed home to rule his empire with the help of Buffalo Scout who married his daughter and became the Heir of the tribe. Silverleaf was sent to Muskogee on a diplomatic mission, and with an arrangement of marriage to Patamon, he secured free passage through Muskogee. Apart from that, Patamon invested heavily in economic and societal changes, as well as finishing his projects of a port city in Scioto, and a postal road in Yamasee.
