Report for 1105
1105 was a year of mind-numbingly little activity. Everybody was maneuvering.
In the west, there are some who wish to block the German crusade. I would like to remind them that since we are now at war, merely standing at a mountain pass with just your own bodyguard will do little to stop them. Diplomatic contact will be established with the Germans next year.
In the east, more maneuvering. Trebizond still under siege.
The Order can't get passed some Templar guy, but that'll probably get sorted soon enough.
The Franks have also declared war on the Fatimids and we may be dealing with a second crusade.
The only truly interesting news are that Ioannis Komnenos has had a son, and Kosmas Mavorozmis has had a daughter.
The only major construction was a shipwright in Constantinople, which will allow use to deploy the shooting fire to the fleet.
The treasury actually ended up gaining about 100 florins.
