We first want to make sure that our privileges will be protected, before we continue paying taxes and obey your orders. We can also send our armies to aid you. Else, we can send our armies to replace you with some queen that can protect our interests and unity of kingdom.
Our terms are: Abolishing the Crown Duty, ability to make our own laws and hold courts in our rightful lands, and granting us rights to question and veto any new law.
In return, we provide our assistance now and in the future, relinquishing command of our troops into crown command.
OOC: This will reduce income from cities by 2. It will also provide a peasant and loyalist unrest costing -1 stability. Government will shift back to Aristocratic Monarchy. You will get a light cavalry unit.
Great House Aratheon (One with three stars on coat of arms) is not in this league. They have more firm view on deposing the Usurper Queen.

Wow - how did the Amurites manage to get seven trade routes sent their way?

Speaking of the Amurites, is Immaculate still playing? I know he said he's going to start limiting his imput, but he didn't actually quit, right?
EDIT: What magic? Am I missing something? In any case, it just doesn't make sense - why would you send one of your trade routes to someone who wouldn't send one back to you? It's not that I don't like the friendly Southern mages, it's that I simply don't understand. If there are some secret deals going on, I would think they'd have to be pretty damn good to justify sending off a trade route.
SECOND EDIT: Now that I've actually bothered to read about the Amurite elections, it's funny that they're the closest thing Erebus has to the crusading Bannor. I mean, there is a strong Order plurality in the government, the populace is most likely an Order majority, and if the Mithril Guard ever manage to truly gain power they are more than willing to declare a Theocracy and go a-crusadin'. Granted, they themselves aren't really strong Order worshippers, but they're manipulative enough to pretend they are so that they can properly conquer everyone they want.
It's not a probable scenario, but it would be fun! Almost as fun, in fact, as watching the Hippus make everyone next to them pee their pants - or the Calabim whine about other people interfering in "Calabim affairs". The troubles of the continent are truly enjoyable - which makes me understand the secret glee the British seem to have, with their hilarious accents and whatnot. Good thing I'm firmly ensconced on my islands...

I'm quite busy these days, with this quasi-exams weeks. Update will be soon, but probably a bit shorter, with somewhat less text. Hopefully I'll pass the exams 
and have time again.
Edit: I'm not sure, I think I still miss some orders.

We are at war and our nation is backwards, now is not the time for tax relief. The inefficiency of a large group controlling the power is evident in other countries, I cannot in good conscience let that happen to ours'. Once the Summer Court and all rebels are dealt with, I will enact a universal tax break (-1 gold from all provinces) and allow the nobles to have a say in a newly formed Council of Nobles, that would have the ability to veto my non-military decisions with a 3/4 majority, and would decide on all new taxes. I believe that it is time to establish a permanent set of laws that would apply to all, but I would allow the Noble Council to establish this themselves. That would ensure that the privileges of all are protected.

Ummm... does this mean that they have the tier three technology of 'light cavalry' (and the requisite 7 tier 2 techs)?

Good luck with your exams.
I meant horsemen, duh, just an 'elven lighter and faster' version.
At this point of development all people know how to ride, it's just mass breeding, taming, efficient mounted combat and cavalry tactics that you research. So only selected few ride horses.
