Sorry here is the report-
The rule of Tsar Vasyl I Nocgorodskii came with a new feeling of hope from the Novgorodskii people. One major achievement in exploration, with the finding of a great water, not one seen in the entire history of the Cossacks. It's name is TBD.

Another achievement came with meeting the Germans. These men spoke a strange language, and their skin was much lighter than that of the Cossacks. However, one of our youth learned their language and translated. These men spoke of their great leader, Khan. Peace was what the Tsar decreed.

They came the Egyptians, an Ancient people who understood our language and customs. It was a shock to the Tsar. We later found out, that one of the Cossack, a priest, left and eventually took command of these peoples. Their leader Julius was not very kind.

Finally came the Romans, men with a knack for building. Their leader spoke in rhymes and gloated often. He claimed to be "Father and Mother". Our people were confused and disturbed.

But, Vasyl was getting on in years and met his unfortunate end while at peace. However, he lived to oversee and assist in the creation of something called, "The Axe" It was a wonderful weapon and tool, but we barely had enough to outfit our workers, let alone an army.
