This is for the Illuminati people.

I couldn't find this tidbit in the "Tales of the Illuminati".

How did Matthias arranging for the Byzantines to take a Turkish territory factor into the overall plan? It seemed like the Order was doing this as a sign of good faith so Siegfried would consider their "suggestions" at the 1300 Diet.

I remember Jan stumbling on to that little plan and Arnold gave Jan a pre-emptive "talking to" in order to save Matthias's army command. Didn't work though...

Anyways, does anyone have any info on the Byzantines getting an "assist"? Was it something Siegfried requested? Or did the Order just think it up as a good way to get on his good side?
