Posters off the pork bow!


After several years without sending a representative to the Cour, a plainly dressed man wearing the badge of house Zahum speaks.

"I apologize for my family's extended absence from these matters. Following my father's passing I had pursued a life of quiet contemplation of spiritual matters. I feel the time has come, however, to rejoin this body as a voice for the old catholics. Given my personal distaste for material wealth, and the fact that only one other faction in this Cour seems to be accepting of my faith, I shall stand with FAMAA.

The newly knighted and elevated Count of Sonda bursts into the Cour shortly before the beginning of the session, apparently fresh off the boat in Jaffa. Clearly in somewhat of a rush, he hurries over to the Cour's scribes and declares that he is representing House Blaiddyd at this session of the Cour, seeing how his dear grand-nephew is but a child and he has a much stronger claim to represent House Blaiddyd's interests than any council of regents. He then stops by the dais to briefly address the assembled notables.

"Members of the Cour! It has been several years since we've last met, though I hope you've not forgotten my triumph at the Groverdrome!" He gestures towards the sword strapped on his right hip with a flourish at this pronouncement. "Regardless, as House Blaiddyd's representative I declare our neutrality in this session of the Cour. As much as I am thankful to our good Emperor-Preferent & the Faith Eternal for their benevolence, it is only by the foresight of A Gilded Tomorrow and their Egyptian canal that I was able to arrive here in time; and the noble spirit of FAAMA remains relevant even in the face of the collapse of the overarching Mongolian Empire. As a newcomer, I hardly feel it is my place to upset the balance in this chamber at the last minute. I aspire only to serve the realm with my votes--and in future, my wits and my blade."

Session of the Haute Cour, 1245


Nicolas Carpenel, Emperor-Preferent of Jerusalem and King-on-the-Indus, rushes into the Hall of the Haute Cour looking sweaty, red-faced and feverish. His mustache quivers as he pulls up at his throne, and after hurriedly straightening it, he raises his hands to the skies.

: My lords and ladies, I bring tidings from God!

: Yes! Yet again, our Lord Christ has whispered in my ear and unfogged my eyes! And he has so much to tell me! Saint Godefroy looks down on our realm with pride! The pagan devils have lost the favour of their own gods! Diseases are sent to wipe out the heretics! A serpent gathers his strength in the east! Angels are waking after centuries of…

The Emperor’s speech warbles into something incoherent and inaudible, and after a moment, the first speakers take to the stands.

- Ransoming/Humiliating/Torturing/Banishing/Executing prisoners of war.
- Sending gifts.
- Purchasing favours.
- Converting his own religion.
- Requesting that courtiers and vassals convert to his religion.

Legislation:
Once the Haute Cour is in session, any lord of the realm can submit legislation, which largely consists of Policies and Laws, as well as optional Directives.
As mentioned, members of the Haute Cour may support or oppose proposals of their choosing.
If at least 1/3rd of a proposal’s votes are in opposition, then that proposal is submitted for the consideration of the King. If at least 2/3rd of a proposal’s votes are in opposition, it is struck from the books regardless of the amount of support received. The King may strongarm a policy of his own devising in its place.
Sessions of the Haute Cour last 48 hours, 24 hours for drafting legislation and 24 hours for voting. After this period, the 4 most popular proposals are gathered into a single document or Recess, which is then implemented in the next update.

Rules of the Haute Cour:
- You cannot join or change factions when the Haute Cour is in session.
- A member of a Faction may support or oppose legislation submitted by anyone.
- Courtiers are entitled to 1 vote, Barons to 2 votes, Counts to 3 votes, Dukes to 4 votes, Kings/Viceroys to 5 votes. Members of the Council have 2 additional votes.
- The Designated Regent minor title has 1 additional vote, but in the event of a incapable or underage ruler and resulting regency, this will rise to 5 votes.
- Votes are cumulative, so for example, a Count may have 10 votes if they are on the Council and become Regent.
- In addition to supporting Policies or Laws, lords may vote Aye/Nay on each Directive.
- Rank has no effect when Directives are being considered. In this case, each member of the Haute Cour has only a single vote, Aye or Nay.
- If Policies and/or Laws gather sufficient opposition, they may be struck from the bill. The King may strongarm his own agenda into the bill in their place.
- In cases where Laws and Policies contradict one another, the policy will take precedence.
- If support for two proposals are equal, and there is only one place remaining in the Recess, the King chooses between them.
- For obvious reasons, legislation cannot pertain to the ruler’s personal life, unless is he is underage. So, for example, the Haute Cour has no control over who the King marries, though unwise decisions may affect his standing amongst his lords.
- The Haute Cour has no authority over the Character Focus or the Ambition of the King, those being his private matter.

Prince Renaud "the Heartless" Konopka of Thessalonika

The Prince of Thessalonika stands to address the assembly, a small crucifix held tightly in one hand. His recent marriage to a granddaughter of Genghis Khan is a topic of courtly gossip, but none dare speak for fear of tempting his infamously short temper. To his side sits the young Simon Konopka, who has only this year come of age. The patrician is almost a complete opposite of his crusading father, who was well renowned for his skill with a blade. Frail and disinclined to conflict, the young man has poured his energies into learning and theology.

"Lords and ladies of the Haute Cour, I greet you this fine day. And it is, indeed, a fine day in Jerusalem. For after a half decade of peace and prosperity our great realm is once more in harmony, ready to look outward once more. The Mongol menace is weakened, ready for the killing strike. We shall be discussing where that strike is to land shortly, but that is not my honor to propose. Instead I am here to make a smaller, but no less important proposal. In recognition of her sizeable contributions to the realm, I am proposing a Directive: Grant the title Patron of the Crusaders to Queen Agnes of Armenia."

A Veritable Smorgasbord!


Doge Jakob rides into the Cour atop Sweetpea, as usual. New though is his feathered friend, what appears to be an owl. He makes his way to the dias while singing the bird a little song.

Such amazing birds owls, able to take out their prey without the prey ever noticing them. But such hunting requires planning, and preperation. For if the owl were to attack foolheartedly, the prey may escape, or worse, fight back. That is why I propose we Scout out the new lords of Europe, those left behind after the break up of the Mongols. We shall send out some of our greatest merchant stealth teams: The Mersir Tactical Operatives, The Thermidor Razor Clams, the Sahbibid Carpetbaggers, as well as others. These agent know not just how to gather info sneakily, but to gather it in plain sight, in the guise of a peddler or local monger. The more we know about these new rulers the easier time we will have with them as enemies, or possibly as allies.

Count Ebbon of Sonda

The Count steps to the dais after the esteemed Marshal to make a plea of his own.

A capital idea! Knowledge of the enemy is a key measure to ensure our eventual victory.

Now, I've had the opportunity to discuss matters with many of you, and with Sonda well-secured by my retainers I believe I may be of more service to the Cour here, in Jerusalem. Or wherever the Cour may choose to send me. You see, skill with a blade is only useful if you know where to stick it, and where to find the enemy you want to stick it in. In my travels to and from the East I've had the chance to make many contacts, and I would gladly put them--and my own investigative and martial talents--to use in service of the Dominion. So!

I propose a directive to name myself, Count Ebbon, spymaster of Jerusalem. This is not to slight Prince Humbert, who has served ably in the role. But I am eager to prove myself for Jerusalem, and I believe my results will speak for themselves.

Count Ebbon, with all due respect, the sword is more befitting a man of your caliber than the cloak and dagger. I have heard rumors of your skill with a weapon and it would be such a waste to have you occupied with investigating plots and general skulduggery. We are definitely equals in terms of our skills in espionage, but if we were to be embroiled in war again, you'd be better served on the battlefield at which point you may not be able to keep an eye on the more covert threats to the Emperor.

With that in mind: I submit a directive to name myself, Princess Potamina of Cairo, Spymaster.

The moment Queen Agnes of Armenia steps out of seclusion, she's going to want the seat on the council she is due. Thus, in parallel with the prior candidates, I propose:

Directive:

The moment Queen Agnes of Armenia leaves hiding, grant her the position of Spymaster.

If she does not, one of the other worthy candidates remains in the position. If she does... She's a better option for Spymaster compared to the others than Jakob Egge-Thermidor's book learning edge in martial affairs over me, and the head of the independence faction to boot, which would lose her leadership and substantial forces in an eyeblink were she on the council.

"A worthy directive, Prince Geoffroy. In line with this thinking, I hereby propose Faith Eternal's principle policy this session. The time for expansion is yet again upon us - and though the time for bringing our strength to bear on Europe will come, further consolidation of our position is warranted... as is securing away from the Mongols one of the most prestigious places of learning there is in the region, perhaps even the world. Jerusalem's cosmopolitan and welcoming arms shall serve as a better custodian for the House of Wisdom."

Policy: Swords into Pens

A) Jerusalem will declare a holy war for the duchy of Baghdad to secure the House of Wisdom.

B) This holy war should be declared only when the threat of rebellion has more sufficiently passed. (No faction at 75% or higher.)

C) This holy war shall only be declared with an excess of 600 gold.

On behalf of A Gilded Tomorrow, I submit the following new Law to replace the current Title Revocation Act

The GT's Brand Spanking New Title Revocation Act will have the following clauses:

-Title Revocation is to be legalized.

-Members of the Haute Cour may only have titles revoked due to concretely proven sedition, rebellion, or conspiracy against the Monarch. Mere accusations are not sufficient. Belonging to a faction, but taking no action beyond that, is not sufficient. This clause does not apply to landed nobles not represented among the Cour.

-All titles outside the Duchy of Jerusalem revoked by the Monarch for any reason must be handed out via the APA.

Hello, class of 1245! I am extremely humbled to give you our forced policy for this session. The pursuit of knowledge has long been a foundation of our kingdom, whether it be scholarly Christian writers, wisdom of the great Sufi philosophers of Arabia, the ancient masters Plato and Aristotle, even Confucion thinking as an elective. King Archambaud's association with the Hermetic Society was just the start. It is time Jerusalem becomes the center of knowledge within the Christian world.

For Prophet University

1. Within the next 10 years, we are to begin construction of a grand university great work, which will be named Le Maison des Muses, in the province of The Gilded Coast
2. The Monarch is required to save money until they have the funds to begin construction of the grand university, unless in a defensive war.
3. The Monarch may not halt construction for the duration of this policy unless in a defensive war.

The Prince of Thessalonika remains seated, this time it is young Simon Konopka who addresses the assembly. In his priestly robes he looks more like a monk than a merchant.

"To the assembled lords and ladies of Jerusalem I wish to express my great honor in standing here today. I am not one for long-winded speeches so I shall simply introduce my bill and be done with it. The Invisible Cities Act is a fine piece of legislation and we have already seen the value of such investments. But after speaking with its writer, the esteemed giant Yijian, we have agreed that some minor modifications may be needed. I am therefor introducing this modified law:"

The Modified Invisible Cities Act

The Haute Cour hereby mandates:

1. Whenever the empire is at peace, the known supporters of any internal revolt have less than 75 percent of the levies the emperor or empress preferent can call upon and enters a session with at least 200 gold, the emperor preferent shall spend at least a third of their current personal treasury during the next five years building county improvements (including but not limited to hospitals) in holdings across the empire.

2. The emperor is free to use some of this gold to develop provinces under his control, so long as—within a 5 year period—he spends an equal or greater amount on holdings controlled by other active Cour members not of his dynasty. For spending outside of his provinces the emperor preferent shall focus on the regions of Syria, Egypt, Arabia and Jerusalem.

3. The province of Jeddah is excluded from this act.

Don't listen to that charlatan Rasul, he will lead the Cour into bankruptcy and decadence! oh god, I need to stop hitting the Pita Bell so much. A university will do us no good, not with a House of Wisdom on the way soon. And especially not for the Gilded Coast. Instead, our forced policy will be investing in a grand, cross canal harbor system situated in Damietta! Now I know what your'e thinking, "Doge Rasul, you should be looking after your own republic!" First of all, don't mention that man's name around me! Secondly, Jeddah might be the jewel of the Red Sea, but their ability to transport goods to other parts of the Empire is handicapped by the desert that surrounds us.
