Hope on, Capulet. I mean, Contempt. And don't forget to blame all the people who send thousands of expeditions in every imaginable directions, and mad rulers who start rather irrational invasions. They confuse me greatly.
And Capulet, there are two emperors trying to outemperor each other and a rebel leader who wants to outrebelleader both emperors at the time. At least that's how I see it. The version that might interest more popular in Sinhala is that there are two so-called emperors trying out-so-called-emperor the rebel leader, who doesn't give a damn because he's trying out-real-emperor them, while they try out-emperor each other, somehow. And no, I don't understand just what does that say about the nature of the Japanese Civil War.

Yes, we remember the reason. The collapse of central authority due to the Itzhakist War and the loss of Antioch. A dark age fell upon us until the Byzantine people decided to take the first steps to restoring their unity - the creation of the Byzantine League. Now, we need to make the final step.

What exactly is required of me? To convince the leaders of the rebellion that they should reconcile? If so, then their leaders seem to request autonomy, freedom of worship within the islands and promise of state's protection of them if attacked by overzealous crusaders or other citizens of your Kingdom.
