As Varidrung is such an important territory for us we cannot allow them to rule themselves. However we are willing to allow them to worship their pagan gods as long as they don't hinder the christians in any way and we will protect them from any threats as we would protect every christian as well. Will this be enough to satisfy the berbers!? If not I'm forced to crush this revolt PERSONALY!
Oh and please - It would not be positive for us if this little "special treatment" would cause riots among the chrisitanpopulation! If you manage to end this revolt I will appoint you as governor of the Varidrung islands for five years and to take care that Berbers and Visigoths learn to live with each other.
To: Anti-Berber Alliance
*secret*
Battleplans for all: After the entire crusader fleets has met at the Balearic Island we will sail south towards the Berberlands and meet their pagan fleet with our combined fleet.
If we are successfull our fleets will seperate again and everybody will go for his territory. We ask EVERYBODY to send their fleets to the Balearics, even if you will invade by land (Alexandrine Empire). Good luck everybody!

We don't see any problem with your request.

Tokugawa Ieyasu looked all around him, his supporters stood in the audience. He saw merchants, sailors, farmers, and peasents. Each had a different story, a different reason for joining the grand rebellion.

The Kyushu skirmish
(battle from last update, just wanted to add a short story to it)
-
1265 CE - The coasts of Kyushu, exact location unspecified
The Edo had the audacity to blockade the ports of the Tokugawa, and now Japan was in a state of total war. A small detachment of samurai had landed on the coast, and Tokugawa's Ashigaru regiment had been following them closely.
"Form a line!" Tokugawa bellowed, and his troops responded. The Ashigaru quickly rushed from their hiding position in the trees, and out onto the sandy beaches.
It was midday, and the sky was clear. The Samurai, caught by suprise, quickly formed their own line, with their elite samurai in the center, and peasent levies of pikemen at their flanks. Tokugawa anticipated that the Samurai would attempt a charge at his seemingly weak center, formed only of a division of musketmen and 2 artillery peices.
The Samurai scoffed at the Tokugawa's punitive weapons, and even though the Tokugawa had a numerical advantage, the Samurai general signalled for a charge. Yells of "Banzai!" filled the air as the samurai rushed forwards. Tokugawa ordered the musketmen to keep their fire, until he signaled to do so, then, when the two lines were almost touching, Tokugawa ordered his men to fire. The two cannons sprayed shrapnel into the Samurai lines, as there was not enough iron to support a full shot, and the musketmen shot a clean volley through the samurai, who were at near point blank range. This devastated the samurai lines, and Tokugawa ordered a counter charge, the Ashigaru quickly drew their small katanas and charged back. Some who did not have katanas, used their muskets as clubs, and the unorganized samurai started to falter.
Finally, the Samurai line broke, and ships appeared on the horizon. Samurai and peasent spearmen fleed to the shores of the beach, eager to be rescued, but then they noticed the blue banners of the fleet. The Tokugawa navy had defeated the blockade, and now came to assist the fight! The Samurai were surrounded, and many were round up and captured as prisoners, unsuprisingly, little samurai tried to 'save their honor' by killing themselves. This was mostly propoganda organized by samurai lords to perpetuate the myth of the great samurai warriors.
The Battle had been won, and the Edo fleet had been decimated. Now was the time to strike back and hit the heartland....

Great people of Japan,
This is a dark time for the Japanese, two emperors rule the throne, both opposing each other, and niether having any legitmacy. It is probable that this 'Erik' is not Japanese, and he seeks support of the Juang! The Edo Emperor meanwhile, sits idly and casts out threats, while he has no power to enforce them. This is unacceptable, and I ask you, the Japanese People, to rise up and take back the divine throne! In the coming months, we shall see the ascenscion of the Tokugawa, and the emergence of a grand scheme. I, Tokugaw Ieyasu, have many things planned, and I ask you to join me in my campaign to crush the corrupt and greedy emperors, who sit idly as Japan decays.
These factions also seek to claim themselves as emperors, when clearly, they have no divine blood. The Tokugawa, the people's rebellion, does not claim that it is of divine descent, rather, we seek to restore legitimacy to the throne, and I do not seek to become Emperor. Let us bring the fight to Edo, and let us restore the Empire of the Rising sun!

JUANG!! JUANG!!!
The emporer will not be in his palace for a fair while. He has decided to tour his empire. Any threats, assasination attempts and attempts to marry him shall have to wait. In fact, attempts to marry him are all hereby cancelled. Anyone who tries will be executed, the emporer is married.

Emperor Takaguwa marched his men across the Japanese Islands...
Things troubled Takaguwa. At first it seemd as though he had inherited a prosporous and growing Japan from his father after his uncle dissapeared in what was surely a stroke of luck. Beofre long though, a slanderous warlord from the south and his lost uncle appeared on the scene to divide japan and tear the people of the lands apart. The fact that Japan could be so easily divided off of rumors alone showed to Takaguwa that their nation was far too primitive to remain united, and that civil wars would plague Japan for years to come, something must be done.
But first these d*** rebels. He sighed heavily as he reviewed the troops for yet another time, a good way to think and keep himself occupied. His most trusted General was at his side, and he hoped that with his prowess he would succeed on the battlefield.
A messenger came and showed Takaguwa that the leader of the Kyushu had fabricated yet more stories, this time about some soldiers being defeated on the island of Kyushu, an event that never happened. He sighed and sent the messenger off.
"Two can play at this game", he muttered to himself, as walked away with a great smirk on his face, "send out the troops, we march at dawn!"

The Juang emperor has chosen to support the Tokugawa Faction in their attempts to restore the integrity of the Japanese Empire. That said, he supports Erik as the Japanese emperor, and feels that an alliance between the two would be most wise. He thanks both factions for their impressive gifts, and pledges them aid and support.

WE do not accept your support, and we have never sent you gifts, and never will. You are nothing more than tyrannical fools. BEGONE NORTHERN BARBARIANS!

OOC - There are three Japanese factions. Two claim themselves to be emperors, while I just seek to restore legitmacy to the Japanese crown, which means installing a new emperor and reinstating the office of Shogun.

Unless someone objects, I'm going to nab the Inca while they're still free.

Nation Background: Incan Empire is a powerful and advanced civilization that is yet to contact equals, and thus holds itself as the only true civilization in the world. While they do have contact with Mayans and Polynesians, and failed to crush the Vakuchi confederation, they are all primitive when compared with the Incans. It is unknown as to what will happen when the Incans meet the western civilization.
