[Xen]

A) its unoffical trade, liek in every NES

B)they trade because they are more similer to each other, then you are to them.

 

[Xen]

[Constantine]

Should we start writing stories, diplo etc as well?

And how many years is one update?

 

[Xen]

yes, go ahead and start up the NES, and start playing some

because players stories often revolve around indviduals, and i myself prefer a more firmer scale of relaistic time in NES's, 10-20 years shoudl eb nice for how long goes betwene updates

The story of Saladin al Baghdad​

Early in the tenth century a group of people called the Buwayhid peoples carved out a state for themselves in Mesotpaima or land between the two rivers. This was a land of many people and many farms. Culture and learing where spread throught the cities and its marketplaces dealt in luxuries from far away Cathy, silk, spices, gold, silver, incense all came through the markets of Baghdad, Mousl and Al-Basrah. This was a land of riches. The Buwayhid had chosen well for the Kingdom they conquered was set to do great things.

The first leader of the Buwayhid people had died shortly after securing the Emirate of Baghdad the most powerful city in the realm. Whoever held this Emirate was the feudal master of the Emir's of Mousl and Basra the second two most powerful cities in the land. The dead leader's first son, Saladin took the Emirate of Baghdada and proclaimed himself the Calpih of the Buwayhid Empire. His brother was installed as the Emire of Mousl. And his four year son as the Emir of Basrah. This ensured the cities would be loyal to him. And it was almost a check on the High Emir's power.

With the kingdom's governace in order, the Emir Saladin set about establishing a lower bearuacracy to run day to day matters. Any men who could read our write was allowed to apply to what was termed the Emir's service. This service would run the day to day matters of the Emir's court. Taxation would monitored and collected by them. This is just one example of what jobs they would carry out for the Emir.

Emir Saladin also issued a decree about land distrubtion in the realm. From now on all land would be held on privilege from the Emir of Baghdad. This included the other two Emirs in the land but in practice they had a higher degree of control over thier land then others who owned. No restrictions where put on land ownership. As long as the owner paid for the land and keeps it tended to, the his ownership will contiune. To deal with disputes arising from the land question, a court of the Emir's service will established in the three major cities. If the land reverts back to the Emirate then the court has the power to sell it to anyone who can afford.

Furthermore to help his country's economy the Emir issued a number of laws concerning trade and merchants. An attack on any traders or their caravans is punisable by summary execution. Stealing from a merchant will result in the theifs hands being cut off. Also new roads were to built, old ones repaired. Bridges rebuilt and repaired. Markets and ports would be enlarged and the Emir hoped his Kingdom would proposer with these measures. The army would patrol these new roads and keep the peace in the cities.

Emir Saladin also knew that having educated men in the court and living in the cities would help the country immensely. Centres of learning would be established in the three major cities of the realm. These universities would also include texts of major renown and would allow the countrys best and brightest to learn from the works of yesterday and apply them to current affairs.

Nope!

 

[erez87]

So those aren't Lombards?

 

[Oruc]

Nope!

 

[Xen]

yep, th elombards are that ornag blob on the danube; because thier was a -relitivlly- strong Rome, they were never invited by the eastern empire to help reqonque the old rome, and so never got into italy in the first place; they stayed in thier originoal spot, more or less

 

[erez87]
