Report of 1182

Countrymen, this has been another stain on our history as we again try to deal with a rogue Senator. Helarionas Anargiros obtain a fleet for his army and with Princess Aleksandra Tagris as hostage fled. The brave Markos ek Sinopis stormed out of the Port of Ragusa in pursuit and was able to catch the traitor Helarionas in the Bari Region of Sicilian Territory.

A battle ensued and our brave Markos was captured. The victorious Anarginos now as two loyal subjects captive. The Basileus is the only one who can immediately end this and bring the Helarionas Anargiros to justice.

Recruitment:

Several settlements received fresh militia and retraining of current regiments. Andreas Dermokaitis has left Belgrade for reassignment to Ragusa. He has taken a small army with him the region of Ragusa has been stripped of men to recruit and is vulnerable at the moment.

Construction:

No new construction several projects completed. the current crisis as drained our treasury for maintenance of armies and no new projects have been commissioned.

Taxation:

We are drawing a large deficit due to the army upkeep. There is concern of the public order in some of our castles who have little or no garrisons. Some merchants were recruited to establish more lucrative trade route to assist with the current deficit.

Diplomacy:

The Sicilians have gained another enemy and are at war with the Moors. The Milanese are at war with the Venetian that could assist with our war effort.

Faction Announcements:

Princess Rosanna Mavrozomis is getting proposals but they are from old worn out men of peasantry stock. They are not even worth discussing with the respective families.

Hot Issues:

Other then the report of the traitor Helarionas there is some concern on the western front. The Venetians have besieged Zagreb and have poured over our western border with three large armies one heading for the undefended Fortress of Ragusa.

Military Campaigns:
The western borders are currently being over run by the Venetians and Zagreb has been besieged.
The east is stable with Aleppo still under siege but relief should be there soon.

New Save:

A note arrives at the Megas's office. It reads -

"To the Senators and People of the Roman Empire, let it be known that I, Comes Helarionas Anargiros, have set free Comes Markos ek Sinopis under the terms that he return to the shores of the Imperium, unharmed, and with the bodies of those who fought bravely upon the hills of Apulia, so that they may be properly buried in their homeland. He is given command of the ships that I had commandeered from Durazzo for his transportation."

"Under these fair terms, then men under his command have defaulted to me, along with the Frankish Mercenary Captain that he had under his service."

LOTR-1183-1

I have replayed the end turn on Northnovas' save and KnightnDay's avatar did not rebel, so all is well. I have no idea why he did in the first place, since his loyalty is pretty decent. In any case it's a moot point now. Everything listed in Northnovas' summary still occurred, with one addition:

Efthymios ek Herakliou (Dafuge) has picked up a Pagan Magician.

In addition, I have moved Helarionas Anargiros' (YLC) unit of Skythikon into his stack and reset his movement. I have also moved Markos ek Sinopis (TheFlax) out of Helarionas' stack, as he has been released. I also transferred the Mercenary Captain to Helarionas, as per the above post. As per YLC's post above, TheFlax is free to take the ships that are offshore.

The save is now open for normal play.
