A Veritable Smorgasbord!


Parviz returns to the podium.

The Childe Crusader, that little rat, should be approriately punished. By directive, I propose that Hamelin Childe be sent to the desert, under guard, and be forced to dig a hole for the rest of his days. Maybe he will find water, maybe he will find precious metals and gems, and maybe he will find nothing. Just watch out for those poisonous lizards.

Yao'er of House d'Cathay, PRINCEPS of Hellas and Beloved Empress of Daqin

People say to me that my official portrait is outdated. But it is not! I am a vision of youth, a representation of the culture that flows through Jerusalem itself! I have never felt better in all my life.

Oh, can't you hear the angels sing? I did not know they existed before I assumed my rightful place as empress, did not think they could co-exist with Tao, but, oh, how wondrous they are!

They speak to me now about how to bring Jerusalem to greatness. They tell me of how we might better serve my husband—the new Son of Heaven—and my children, who will lead the Middle Kingdom to a new age of prosperity.

Here is the forced policy which will advance us toward civilized thought:

The Dominion Administrative Reform Act

The Haute Cour hereby orders:

1. The Empire shall institute Imperial Examinations to promote the expertise of those in service of the Dominion. Nobles from across the Empire shall be eligible to take exams denoting proficiency in their preferred skillset to better serve the Dominion (those being diplomacy, martial, stewardship, intrigue, and learning) [taken from this submod of AtE].

2. Within the next 10 years, the Crown shall authorize an expansion of the House of Groves [upgrading the House of Groves to level 2].

3. Following the completion of the expansion of the House of Groves, the Crown shall authorize an addition to the House of Groves: The Joakim Estrid Memorial Library. The library shall be the official library of the Haute Cour, seeking to collect and preserve all documents related to it, its members, Cour proceedings, and the Dominion at large. The library shall cost 450 gold and have the following effects:
a.) +10.0% Technology Spread Rate
b.) +5 Scholar opinion
c.) Characters seeking to take an Imperial Exam get special one-time Study for Examinations decision that increases (or decreases) their chances of passing the exam

"Have you seen the state of the city of Jerusalem recently? It's falling apart! Those children did not take care of the House of Groves, no they didn't. And the fact is, neither have we. Jerusalem should be the jewel of the world, but it pales in comparison to the cities of Yurp and Cathay. And half of them are in ruins! So let's ren- rinov- fix it up, okay?"

The princess quietly hands the bill off to a scribe to read. It's not that she'd stumble over the words, you see, she just has more important things to do.

quote:

The Jerusalem Renovation Bill
The Emperor will spend at least 2000 gold constructing and upgrading buildings in the duchy of Jerusalem over the next ten years, at the rate of roughly 200 gold per year, starting with the keep of Mirabel. The expenditure will pause if the Dominion is attacked by an enemy with at least 50% of our levies, or if the treasury falls below 500 gold.

SWORD OF SMATTAS. CAN YOU NOT HEAR A WORLD CRY OUT FOR JUSTICE? WHEN WILL YOU DELIVER IT?
Yam Slacker


Currently, the nobility of Jerusalem is a hodge-podge of king-tier and Prince-tier titles. Ideally there would be no kings among us save the Jerusalem crown in the Emperor-Preferent's hands. However, the thrones of Armenia, Al-Jazira, Indus and the Horn of India are occupied, while those of Syria, Arabia, Greece, Yemen and Mesopotamia are fallow. We do not wish to limit participation in the Cour from the established princes of these realms that would be subject to a raised king, so let us instead introduce the dignity of Protector, a titular title for each of the regions without a King and a duty which our current kings may choose to accept.

Thus, I present the Protectorate Act:

Each region without a crowned monarch is to be assigned a Protector from among the Princely lords in the region, a titular title with equal dignity to a King beneath the Emperor-Preferent.

Each King may at their discretion exchange their crown for a Protector title, to restore the equality of the Princes beneath them.

Where applicable, this be used as appeasement for those currently leading factions.

My esteemed colleagues,

I am awash in glory. I feel the dawning of a new age.

Please support my policy below, for it is the only way to keep us secure against encroaching malign influence.

False China Subversion and Termination Policy

The Haute Cour hereby orders:

1. For the next 10 years, the Crown send spies to the court of the so-called Son of Heaven [Send concubines, eunuchs, and commanders] who will work to subvert the operations of the untrue China from within;

2. The Crown to undermine the False China's military capacity by depriving it of military leaders [request strategists and siege engineers]; and

3. The Crown to seek to establish relations with Jerusalem's faithful servant Salahaddin ibn Rasul to aid him in his righteous quest to destroy the false empire.

Directive to adopt Hamelin into the Shabibid family, to work in the carpet warehouse and hopefully see the fire of Ahura Mazda. Oh, And give back the county of Hebron to their ancestral owner I guess

2. After our victory, we shall throw a Light's of the World Festival, celebrating and informing us of all the various religions and cultures that make up our land and those that surround us.

3. If we have full levies, no dangerous factions (+75%), less than 50 threat, have no truce with the target, and the combined forces of our enemies equal less than our total troops, including mercs, we shall declare a holy war for the duchy of Jibal. First claim for the duchy will strictly follow the rules of the new APA.

We hope our associated see the wisdom in this bill, and the wisdom in finally freeing lost Persia from the chaos of the Mongols. We lost our once great heartland in Egypt, but Jerusalem endures, and we shall find ever greener pastures!

Trial of the Childe King: AYE! Parviz carresses a shovel with a knowing glare. He and Queen Denise give each other a nod.
Advance Cities and Temples technology: NAY! "Not important at this moment!" says every Thermidor.
Appoint Lord Aziz Andirsun of Medina as Trade Master: NAY! Konstantzia speaks up. "In a similar vein to Bernart here, as a vassal of a vassal, they cannot actually be given an honorary title." Bernart makes an extremely rude gesture with his fist and armpit.

Hashim, could I please have a list of all the king-level titles that would receive protectorates? If this bill passes, I'd like to be prepared ahead of time. Thanks.

Marzoban Mukhtar al-Asqalan of Acre

With my cousin still under the Bogomil yoke, it has, alas, fallen to me as head of the cadet branch of Akka to represent my family's interests in the Haute Cour. May Asqalan be swiftly returned to us! In the meantime, I place three votes in favor of the False China Subversion and Termination Policy.

Friends are what make testing worth it.

Queen Beatriz II of Armenia, Countess Aldara of Az-Zarqa, Doge Martim of the Řresund Republic

: Sending the boy to dig a hole in the desert for the rest of his days, under guard? What a waste of the guard! The boy must be brought for interrogation. It's the only way to prove that the whole crusade was (as I have long suspected) an inside job! More about this in my upcoming book.
: 4 Votes for the Jerusalem Renovation Bill, 3 Votes for The Protectorate Act. It's good to be in Jerusalem again. The Festival of Fortune was simply wonderful! And hello, Emperor Khuman. A private meeting later tonight, perhaps?
: I hear i lost my position as Trade Master? Bollocks. The news come late when you live a continent away. Oh well, thankfully i have my good friends and trade partners the Thermidors acting on my behalf! Oy Thermidors! let's have a few pints after the politics, alright? You know what? As Advisor, i advise the whole Cour to come with us! HAHA!

In that case, my decision is clear.

For Syria: Robčrt of House Toulouse, PRINCE of Tripoli (Lord Cyrahzax)

For Iraq: Konstantzia of House Egge-Thermidor, PRINCESS of Baghdad (Ralepozozaxe)

For Yemen: Elaine of House Cynwrig, PRINCESS of Hadhramaut and Oman (megane)

For Greece: Mael of House Radnor, PRINCE of Cephalonia (TinTower)

(OOC: The Discord says we have a tie for directives; I've made my decision to clear up that tie but I'll post in it after we have the official count posted in thread.)
