Conclusion Update
The heralds of Persia announce the news to the crowds.
People of Persia, the election for the Minister of the People has produced results. Cyaxares Hadaxaya has won the election by a small margin of votes. As for the Prime Minister, the lords elected Swimviv Rudaki, to the agreement of many pious people. The position of Minister of Domestic Affairs is no available.
The ex-king of Helsinki, Anselmi Ari and the Finnish Aristocracy has public sworn an oath of loyalty to Persia and king Mohsen. Many aristocrats, however, refused to take the oath, and were stripped of all titles, land, and wealth. Many fled the city. Now governor Anselmi Ari of Helsinki has branded these fleeing men as official rebels and outlaws, and a bounty has been put on their head.
Anselmi Ari also publicly apologized to Quebec for the assassinations. Quebec accepted the apology.
Helsinki's population was angered by Anselmi's actions, and it is advised to stay away from Helsinki until further notice.
The High Priest has recovered, and his public speech caused a great fire to burn, not only in the fires burning the logic manifesto, but a rage in the most faithful of Persia. Babyloparsa and Artaparsa saw columns of smoke of burning books, anyone seen with a copy were attacked. In Persepolis, a great mob shouting 'kill the heretics' attacked the house of Doteiti, only to find it was abandoned and empty. The house burned to the ground, however. Many connect the threat of the coup with the attempt on the High Priest's life, and many blamed the logicians. In Artaparsa, a similar mob tried attacking the house of Tambien, but the Archer division was able to hold them off.
The following were the orders submitted by Persia's king and Satraps:
Satrap Ardeshi II Artaparsi:
transfer citizen from 9B to 13B)
(the new citizen when born is to go to the dyes, the transferred citizen is to remain on the fish)
I order the return of the Artaparsa Guard
(upon their return they are to scour rural Artaparsa of bandits)
King Mohsen:
Move citizen in Noctusan from 2D to 31D.
The second Finnish workers are ordered to head to Sayehabad and begin constructing mines on 3C, 5C and 6C. I request that the satrap of Artaparsa dispatches one of the workers toiling in his territory to assist. I am also cancelling the training of a worker in Noctusan as we now have sufficient workers for the time being.
I would also like to hear people's thoughts on prioritising the research of the compass. My scientific advisors have assured me that doing so will increase the profits made by our fishing boats and significantly boost our treasury
.
The following treaties were signed:
Defensive Pact between Siam and Persia.
In return for military aid against the barbarians Persia asks that Siam commits to a straight silver for dyes trade and gives Persia a token sum of 50g as compensation for the extended absence of our soldiers far distant from Persia and from interests closer to home and in consideration of the nature of the operation. In addition if Siam wishes for this aid may I point out that an open borders agreement would be necessary, the city of Phitsanulok and siamese land prevents all access to the north by the southern empires save by your leave. Do you find this agreement acceptable?
Deaths:
none
Session 15 is now over.
NOTE: what was the final decision on the construction in Babyloparsa?
Wont be able to update until January 8, so see you then. Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
