I'm not very good at these, but I did my best! Ok?!

“It is time for a change in government.”
Mohgai Khan’s forehead creased with worry, “Why? I am doing a fine job…”
The advisor shook his head, “No, you are not.”
“Do not speak to me in such a manner!” the Khan demanded angrily, slamming a fist down on the table, and rising to his feet.
“Your place in the Gathering is lost. Shiva comes for you,” Tchugoi’s words were as calm as always.
Mohgai was in a panic. He had led the troops against Ruthenia, he was leading the war against all of Europe, he was responsible for the glory of the Great Gathering. How could this happen?
“I suggest that-“
“Guards! Kill this fool! Guards!” was his desperate cry.
Of course there was no response.
Tchugoi sighed, “I suggest that you just leave. Kuril’taria will be under a new government. We are too large to be ruled by a single man. Especially a fool like you.”
“No…” Mohgai was on his knees now. His hopes were crushed and his dreams shattered, “Shiva…”
Men appeared with bows. Moments later, nine arrows had pierced his chest. And he was dead.
The Tchugoi Period
With the relatively quick and painless fall of Mohgai, Kuril’taria and it’s Great Gathering was thrust into a new era.
This new government, deemed an Aristocratic Oligarchy by the leader of the revolution Tchugoi, stilled focused much on warfare and other such recreational things, but also placed a heavy emphasis on oral storytelling, and songs.
There were three main leaders of the Oligarchy, who just so happened to be brothers. Tchugoi was considered the leader of war, due to his inept ability on the battlefield. Kejur was the leader of culture, with things like art, education, and public announcements. Yerlichai was a graduate of the infamous University of Ulaanbaatar, which gave him the skills necessary to be given the powers of law, economy, technology, and construction. All three of the brothers would handle diplomatic relations.
During the Tchugoi Period, a major increase of bards occurred, causing an additional increase in conversions to Shaivism, Judaism, Zoroastrianism and Balism. These bards traveled in groups of three or nine, still respecting the Mongols’ respect for there holy number of three. Instuments used were multiple drums, flutes, many vocals and simple guitars. This was considered a full show, though many bards chose to travel, or work solo with just a single instrument and their own voice.

Now that your conflict is over, we hope you can either resume payment of 1econ point for the next three turns in exchange for a NAP. Either that, or a defensive alliance between our respective nations.

Our interests in Europe have diminished, feel content in knowing that your precious allies are safe from the Great Gathering.

Eire need not worry about travelling from whatever side of the European continent you come from. Europe will no longer be bothered by the Great Gathering. Our interests turn elsewhere, including your interesting technologies. Perhaps the past can become the past, and your future can become peacefully intwined in ours with the sharing of technology?
