Dominant faction: A Gilded Tomorrow Session of the Haute Cour, 1235 The newly-elected Emperor-Preferent, looking solemn, takes to his throne.  : Ahem... um, hello.: I... ah, I know I'm not Josselin. I'm not a Pirate, or Thunderbolt, or whatever the commoners were calling him by the end. But, I'm honoured and proud to accept thi-Diogo claps a hand to his head, as though struck, and almost topples over before bounding onto his feet, his eyes bright and wild. To gasps and faints, he drops from his podium and into the gathered masses of lords and ladies, clapping several esteemed nobles on the back and smiling like a madman. : A-and I have such plans! I will see Jerusalem become the greatest power on earth! I will take back Rome and Constantinople from the Mongol! I will dance on the graves of the pagan khans! I will-His wife suddenly appears at his shoulder, and after whispering in his ear, helps him onto his feet. As the Emperor-Preferent is escorted from the hall, he shouts back: : Oh, and I must introduce you all to my new horse! You'll love him!State of Affairs King: Diogo Abrao Government: Agnatic-Cognatic Elective Monarchy Factions: Pro Imperio et Civitate, Jerusalem Independence Party, A Gilded Tomorrow, Faith Eternal, Friendly Association Against Mongolian Aggression Treasury: 227 gold, +47.23/month Piety: -139, +0.34/month Grace: 0 Threat: 43% Army: 39560 levies Non-Aggression Pacts: none. Alliances: none. Wars: none. Active Policies: Active Laws - 9/10:
World Map:  Jerusalem, House of Groves   Weak Claims: New additions include the Kefid Empire, currently suffering from succession crises.  Succession: Next in line for Jerusalem is Count Sigismond of Irbid.  Council and Court: The position of Advisor #2 is available, along with most minor titles.    Laws: Next crown law can be passed now, next regular law can be passed now.     Technology: No advancements are available.  Military:  Factions:  Known Plots:  Decisions:   Religion: The world is a mess.   Culture:  Relations:  Trade Zones: Also included the income that our republics are currently making.     Defensive Pacts:  Diseases:  Empire of China:  Ruler Prerogative: - Staging the cheapest coronation ceremony. - Awarding minor titles. - Arranging marriages for family members and courtiers. - Imprisoning treasonous or dishonourable persons. - Humiliating/Torturing/Banishing/Executing treasonous or dishonourable persons. - 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.

   Patrician Simon of Merchant House Konopka The Frog Knight is here in heavy plate, his visor removed. His face is locked in a grimace, which, with his scars, makes him one of the uglier members of the Cour. He gains the attention of the assembly with a raised fist. "Lords, ladies and patricians of the Haute Cour, I ask you to kindly shut your yaps and hearken to my words, what I've written down here. Trust me, it's all good poo poo. Here we go: " Policy: Establish a Battlefield Memorial at Famia In recognition of their service to all Christendom the good lords and knights of the realm who served and died at The Battle of Famia shall be honored with the construction of a battlefield monument. A platform of Egyptian marble shall be carved with the crests of those nobles and patricians who served Jerusalem in the battle. Those of low birth, both living and dead, who commanded shall be granted the noble title “De Famia” in honor of their service and shall enjoy all rights due a member of the nobility. Upon this platform shall be erected a sturdy column, to be inscribed with the names of the fallen and scenes of our triumph. Upon the top of this column shall be a statue of the Sainted Josselin upon a rearing horse, sword in hand and parrot upon his shoulder. A tasteful gift shop will be located a respectable distance away. Ingame Effect: In the county of Archa, Antioch Duchy a War Monument building shall be built with effects similar to that of a Saint Shrine. These are: Price: 500 Gold Effects: +0.2 liege piety -0.2% revolt risk +2 income These effects shall apply to whoever is the highest liege in the realm containing the county of Archa.

  Prince-Chancellor Ghiyassadin al-Asqalan While we will be eternally grateful to the late Emperor Josselin for his leadership what at last the Mongol tide was turned back, let us not forget that twice he attempted to impinge on the religious freedom of his subjects: when the landed lords of the Cour objected, he instead turned his gaze to the unlanded courtiers in Jerusalem. It is clear that the Imperial prerogative to request conversions is rife with potential for abuse, and so I present an updated and amended version of the Minority Protection Law, first proposed by my mother during the reign of Josselin, revoking that privilege: The Amended Protections of the Jewish People and Other Minorities Act Recognizing the multicultural character of the Holy Land and this Dominion of Jerusalem, Understanding the Emperor’s duty as a Protector of Holy Places, a responsibility that touches all People of the Book, Acknowledging that unnecessary bloodshed and violence profanes and pollutes religious practice, 1. Expressly prohibits the Emperor, Empress, Regent, or other duly chosen authority (hereafter referred to as “the Emperor”) from taking the decision to “Expel the Jews;” 2. The Emperor may not, by their own prerogative or by demand from any religious head, expel, imprison, mutilate, execute, or request conversion of lords, ladies, or other courtiers for professing membership in a different faith, unless specifically requested by said lord or lady, or if said courtier is an immediate blood relative; 3. Requests the Emperor treat all holy sites with respect and to not undertake any action (e.g. raiding and looting, destroying a holding or Great Work, or conducting mass executions) that would render the site unsuitable for worship activities for those who consider it holy. This provision does not prohibit sieges in wartime if deemed by the Emperor to be necessary to the effort. This proposed law amendment is paired with a repeal of the War Economy Law, now dated and useless. Angstrom Gothington fucked around with this message at 16:32 on May 31, 2020 |

  Jakob rides up to the dias upon Sweetpea, humming his now famous across the world tune. Now that the taking has been prevented, it is time to move on the other important buisness. Our use of subterfuge helped us greatly in our war against the mongols, so it only make sense to make our spymaster someone of great skill. This is why i propose Doge Pisha-eneh 'the Dagger' Erez Sender be made spymaster. Alongside their many great sneak skills, we all know having an eye-patch makes you so much cooler. Erez Sender would be a jewish councilor so we would get those sweet tech boost events to boot. Ralepozozaxe fucked around with this message at 03:59 on May 31, 2020 |

  Princess Gwen of Hadramut The young princess practically leaps to the podium. "Greetings and salutations, good members of the Cour, from the Land Where Death Walks. How nice to be able to speak to you myself; sadly, my former regent was unable to make this meeting, as he is busy administering the Empty Quarter." She smiles innocently. "Now, as we can all see, our beloved new emperor is most hale of both mind of body, and may God him so preserve. However, should the worst befall, we must not leave things to chance; we ought name a designated regent. I offer mine own humble services in this. There has been some tension between the various faiths... but I follow the teachings of Nestorius, and serve none but God and the Realm. I know that some would say I am too young, but with any luck my services in this regard shall not be needed for many years, if ever." Directive: Appoint Princess Gwen of Hadramut as Designated Regent.

The Estrid Cousins were the bestests of friends since Ned's mom sent him to his uncle and auntie house in the Oresund Republic because the war was getting really though. His uncle Hans loved him like another son and Ben was the brother he never had. On his trip to the north the egyptian soldiers and knights were mocking the republicans as soft merchants, but they couldn't be more wrong! The family up north was in the fur bussiness and uncle Hans took them both to hunt and trap, and once they even went with a whaling boat, spearing a huge sea monster, bigger than a house. Every night they plotted to go further ranging: To the land of the Skandirakis in the north or the Finns in the east. "When we are older uncle Hans will take us to snatch the Crown of Thorns from the Khan or even go to the end of the world and meet Prester John, and be more famous than Grandpappa Severin!" But all those dreams shattered when an ill wind arrived in Scania and uncle Hans got sick. Medics and priests came by his bed and promised to make him better and asked to keep praying but to no avail. Ben knees were full of scabs from kneeling in the night asking God to save his father until one morning the Lord Mayor was dead and the boys were weeping. Their sad story travelled through every port in the Republic until it reached the ears of famed Knight Jakob Egge-Thermidor who arrived one sunny morning at the Estrid state on a big destrier and with a huge roll of parchment under his arm. "Lads!" He said. "I know you are sadder than the buffon of the Khagan but I have a proposition only for the bravest boys in the north." Ned and Ben started to pay attention. "You know that we in A Gilded Tomorrow are always travelling around the world, looking for the best and newest sweets and spices, furs and jewels. Well, we want to make it official to the other Lord of Jerusalem so I need two lads to present the Directive to Create the Explorer's Society and convince those boring old knights to send the most intrepid men and women in search of new lands, riches and trade partners" And with an expert hand he extended the parchment over the table "And I think I know where to go first"  tl:dr This is a directive to explore and trade or create a beachhead in Ceylon, in the vein of Severin's first exploration of India Pacho fucked around with this message at 20:13 on May 31, 2020 |

 A herald enters the Cour, bearing a proclamation from "House Blaiddyd". With young Mathieu still more interested in ants and books than laws, and his nominal regent on his deathbed of cancer, it is clear to at least the well-informed members of the Cour that this is likely the work of the cabal of courtiers that really hold power in Aswan. HONORED MEMBERS OF THE HAUTE COUR! We have endured the Mongol tide and, with the blessings of the Lord above, emerged triumphant. This is undoubtedly an affirmation of our new faith, which survived and defeated what utterly destroyed Old Catholicism. And yet, a large portion of the realm still nominally takes communion in the name of the old, deposed Pope rather than our good Court Chaplain. In the interests of the Jerusalemite tradition of pluralism, we do not wish to forbid such worship, nor forcibly attempt to dissuade it. However, our realm would undoubtedly benefit greatly from more of our number appreciating the blessings of the line of Godefroy. We wish to politely request--not browbeat, scheme to convince, or, god forbid, force--our brothers and sisters who have not been convinced of our new faith to join us in communion, for the greater glory of Jerusalem. With all this in mind, we would like to propose the ------------------------------------------------------------ Reunite The Flock Initiative, a policy that stipulates: 1. For the next 10 years the monarch of Jerusalem, if they are a Reformed Catholic, when possible will ask Old Catholics or Old Jaffites in the realm who would be receptive to such a request ((read: would already say Yes to a request for conversion)) to convert to Reformed Catholicism. An exception is to be made for Old Catholic and Old Jaffite members of the Haute Cour, who must specifically request the monarch to do so before the monarch is allowed to approach them. 2. Should a member of the Haute Cour indicate they desire to be brought into the fold, but require an incentive to do so, the monarch is authorized to provide some incentives to initiate the process of requesting conversion. These incentives may consist of: monetary gifts below 275 ducats when the imperial treasury holds over 1500 (and 100 when the imperial treasury holds over 1000), as well as minor titles that are not Designated Regent, Court Physician or Commander. ------------------------------------------------------------ We welcome feedback on this policy from the Cour before the drafting session closes. Hopefully we can all agree that our new faith has earned some level of official support, considering the miraculous deliverance at Famia.

  We echo and support House Blaiddyd's sentiments, of course. The Papacy shall introduce but a humble directive this session of our assembling, to call for willing questors to undertake a potentially dangerous, yet godly mission. Directive: Rekindled Hope - We shall dispatch willing and discreet courtiers or otherwise interested volunteers to journey into Mongol held lands to spread the word of Jerusalem's victory over the Mongol Horde and the reformation of Catholicism. Too many yet linger in ignorance and under the oppressive yolk of the Horde still - these people must be given something to keep their spirits alive lest they be crushed under a horse archer's uncaring hooves and capricious false faiths.

 YIJIAN "THE ENORMOUS" D'CATHAY "HELLO. IT IS I, YIJIAN "THE ENORMOUS" D'CATHAY. I AM PLEASED TO JOIN YOU ALL FOR ANOTHER SESSION. AS YOU CAN SEE, NOW THAT I AM AN ADULT (THOUGH STRANGELY I DO NOT SEEM TO HAVE STOPPED GROWING), I HAVE BLESSED MY REGENT WITH A MUCH NEEDED RETIREMENT. I WILL ADDRESS YOU ALL FROM THIS POINT FORWARD AND HOPE WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE JERUSALEM STRONGER." "I WANT TO START BY COMMENDING MY FRIEND GHIYASSADIN FOR HIS LEGISLATIVE PROPSAL. I BELIEVE THIS BILL WILL TRULY SEPARATE US FROM THE MONGOLS BY DEMONSTRATING JERUSALEM'S COMMITMENT TO TOLERANCE. HOWEVER, IN ADDITION TO THE IMPORTANT WORK HE HAS PROPOSED, I THINK WE DESERVE A GOOD CELEBRATION FOR OUR ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS. IN PARTICULAR, I PROPOSE THE FOLLOWING POLICY: Anti-Mongol Memorial Observances We the Haute Cour hereby call upon the emperor preferent to: 1. Within the next 10 years, organize a triumph in Jerusalem to celebrate the veterans of the Mongolian War and, in particular, those families who contributed to Jerusalem's victory in the Battle of Famia. The emperor preferent shall organize the triumph as soon as the Empire possesses the necessary financial resources and is at peace; 2. Within the next 10 years, host a feast for the members of the Cour to both celebrate the Cour's achievements over the Mongols and to provide the emperor preferent an opportunity to introduce himself before the assembled cour members. The emperor shall organize the feast following the triumph, once the empire possesses the necessary financial resources; 3. Provided these two celebrations have been organized, organize a coronation ceremony for himself within the next 10 years. Recognizing the crown's contributions in the Mongolian War, the Cour authorizes the emperor preferent to, at his discretion, seek a coronation from the pope or a bishop of his choice.

   The doors to the Cour chambers fly open in great pomp. Rasul Shabibid, dressed in silk finery typical of The Hejaz, makes his way to the speaker's podium. His clothes are actually presentable this time, and he has a great smile on his face. As-salamu alaykum, members of the Haute Cour! It is with great pride and pleasure that I am able to address you all today! I hope each and every one of you are well fed and rested. I have had the most marvelous vacation this past month, can you believe it? Touring the Greek lands is such a wondrous experience. My dear wife suggested it to me, and after a quick hop onto a Zahum ferry, we experienced all the sights and sounds of the ancient world. The people, the beaches, the food, and the women too, eh Omar? Rasul nudges his attendant, who only rolls his eyes and hands him a piece of parchment Anyway, I couldn't help but notice, with the help of our dear friend Ghyasaddin al-Asqalan(Angstrom Gothington), that the entirety of Greek life is dominated by a certain Christian knighthood, who's domain stretches far beyond what is implied by their title. We could have a bit of a problem afot should things go awry, especially due to the, say, heated religious debates I have witnessed in the foodcour as of late. To this end, and to spread the wonders of Greek living, I present A Gilded Tomorrow's forced policy: My Big Fat Greek Breakup 1) Create all formable duchies in the de jure kingdoms of Greece and Epirus over the next 10 years. 2) These titles shall be distributed following the APA law.

That's not all folks! It looks like we are in dire financial straits. Again. And we will continue to be in such a state every Imperial Election. Fortunately, we at Shabibid Fabrics have a top notch financial team ready to tackle the problem! You don't get rich off the Silk Road without learning a few tricks on how to move money around. This is why I present: A Better War Economy 1) During peacetime the Dominion of Jerusalem, or whichever name we go by in the next, shall store 50 gold per year into a dedicated war chest, to be located in the Capitol Treasury in Jerusalem County. 2) Deposits into this war chest shall continue until a total of 1000 gold is reached. 3) This war chest shall only be available during a defensive war, to be used on mercenaries and levies. Keep in mind that this is akin to storing money under the mattress, as the investment bankers in Genoa refused to open an account for us. Something about me following a mockery of the true faith or something. Anyway, as long as we keep Jerusalem County, we keep the mattress. (ooc: for everyone wondering if this is too much work for Hashim, I went over this with them. Everything is kosher here.) Gigagar fucked around with this message at 21:26 on May 31, 2020 |

YIJIAN "THE ENORMOUS" D'CATHAY MY FRIENDS, MY COUR MEMBERS, I AM HAPPY TO ADDRESS YOU ALL AGAIN AS WE ALL BEGIN OUR VOTING. IT IS WITH GREAT PRIDE THAT I GIVE TWO VOTES TO THE AMENDED PROTECTIONS OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND OTHER MINORITIES ACT AND ONE VOTE TO THE AMMO ACT. THESE ARE BOTH POWERFUL BILLS WHICH WILL LEAD JERUSALEM TO GREATNESS. ON DIRECTIVES I VOTE AYE ON EVERYTHING EXCEPT REKINDLED HOPE, AS I FEEL CONVERSIONS SHOULD BE A PERSONAL MATTER. I AM ESPECIALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE EXPLORATION OF NEW REALMS IN CEYLON AND HOPE ALL WILL ENDORSE THIS GRAND EXPEDITION.

Princess Gwen of Hadramut "I understand their zeal, but cannot in good conscience support the 'reformed' church over others. Turn your eyes towards your enemies necks, not your neighbors' prayer books! To that end, House Cynwrig puts two votes towards the new War Economy Law and two votes towards the Battlefield Memorial. We shall remember the last war and win the next!" Directives: Doge Pisha-eneh for Spymaster - Aye. Appoint Princess Gwen of Hadramut as Designated Regent - Aye, of course! Create the Explorer's Society - Aye, why not. Rekindled Hope - Nay. They should hear of our victory, certainly, but not this. Prince-Chancellor Ghiyasaddin for Keeper of the Swans - Aye, swans are quite delicious. Rename Amman Xin Xi'an - Aye, I suppose?

Patrician Simon of Merchant House Konopka The Frog Knight is here in heavy plate, his visor removed. A page stands at his side, his surcoat emblazoned with an irate frog in front of a blooming hemp plant. "Lords, ladies, merchants and 𝕣𝕒𝕕𝕚𝕔𝕒𝕝 𝕜𝕚𝕕 𝕡𝕠𝕡𝕖𝕫 , before I register my votes on all this stuff, I feel it my duty to remind you all why you should totally vote for my proposal. Famia must be regarded by any with sense as holy ground, consecrated by the blood of honored dead. It is there, upon a single point, which the enormity of history pivoted. Outnumbered and facing an army which no force on this Earth had ever yet triumphed against, the noble sons of Jerusalem scored a totally kickass victory the memory of which shall inspire loyalty and pride in generations to come. Also, triumphant columns are sweet as hell and we need more of them." "All that said, two (2) votes for Establish a Battlefield Memorial at Famia." "Whazat? Directives? Okay yeah, sure let's knock these out quick, I have a ship to catch. NAY to Appoint Doge Pisha-eneh of the Oresund Republic as Spymaster because Guilded Tomorrow is just blatantly trying to fortify their slim vote lead. NAY to Appoint Princess Gwen of Hadramut as Designated Regent for the same drat reason. NAY to Create the Explorer's Society and Explore the East because, for reasons stated above, they can eat a dick. AYE to Rekindle Hope since everyone should really know more about how great we are, honestly. AYE to Appoint Prince Ghiyassadin of Ascalon as Keeper of the Swans because hey, why not. AYE to Rename Amman to Xin Xi'an since, again, no skin off my rear end. Alright, that it? Good."

 My lords and ladies, I, Rhodri Rhanor, come to you as but a simple refugee from the Mongol aggression upon my ancestral lands. We remain the sole bastion of the Catholic faith and – although I disagree with many of you on the deification of the great man Godefroy – I want to see Christendom defended to the last! However! As much as I agree with the sentiments of FAAMA and their Protection Act – including the protection of fellow People of the Book in our holiest of cities – I am concerned that it disempowers the Emperor from fighting the Mongol infidel within. It is for that reason I cast my one legislative vote for the Better War Economy Act. As for the directives, I cast my votes thusly:

The Papacy shall assign three votes to the Battlefield Memorial and three to Reuniting the Flock. Doge Pisha-eneh for Spymaster - Aye - he's well-suited to the role. Appoint Princess Gwen of Hadramut as Designated Regent - Nay - this appears to be a more blatant grab for more clout on the council, and centered around someone barely out of their youth. Surely there's better candidates. Create the Explorer's Society - Aye Rekindle Hope - Aye, we needs must strike while the iron is hot. Prince-Chancellor Ghiyasaddin for Keeper of the Swans - Aye Rename Amman Xin Xi'an - Aye
