Megas Logothetes' Report for 1086

1084 will go down in History as the year we began to reclaim our Empire.


Domestic Affairs:

The first round of construction is done. A second round has begun, except for the Churches ordered in Athens and Nicaea, which will have to wait until next year. My apologies but they are much more expensive than roads or farms. Except for a unit of peasants, there were not sufficient funds to recruit soldiers.

A second Priest will be recruited in Nicaea to assist our first missionary.

Foreign Affairs:

Anna continues north to Bran. We now have two diplomats as well. One continues north across the Black Sea, the new one is making his way west across Thrace.


Military Affairs:


Imperial Army:

With the assistance of Senator Ioannis Kantakouzinos and our agent opening the gates, I have occupied Sofia.


Order of St. John:

The Order cotinues to besiege Antioch.


The Asteri:

Senators Ioannis Kalameteros and Nevelous ek Philadelphias continue to besiege Rhodes.

Senators Hypatios Machonios and Zigivinos Vasilakios are sailing from Athens to Smyrna with two units of soldiers.


The Komnenodoukai:

Caesar Ioannis has taken Canakkale, renaming it Dardanellia.

Senator Lisas Attaleiatis is now northeast of Nicaea.


The Tagamata:

Comes Aleksios ek Ikoniou and Senator Philippos Eirinikos, joined by Senator Savvas ek Militou, continue to besiege Arta.


The Tepaki:

The House is outside of Durazzo. I request orders from them.


Unaligned:

Senator Methodios Tagaris is garrisoning Durazzo.

Comes Markianos Ampelas is marching toward Scopia.


For 1086, The Order of St. John is granted use of the fleet in the Eastern Mediterranean while the Asteri are granted the use of the fleet in the Aegean. (OOC: The House leaders or their designated proxies can use them during free movement)
