2nd Proclamation of 1081



It has come to my attention that our great Empire suffers from a severe lack of the structures that most concern the people. Namely, there are far too few buildings of worship and organized farms. This greatly disturbs me, for if great men are not true to their subordinates and their faith, how can they be true to themselves?

My representative in the Magnaura informs me that following me based on your faith and trust in me is not enough to take the route that is most benefitting to the Orthodox people as a whole. While this is regrettable and may be paid in consequence later on, it is to be expected to a reasonable degree. If rewards must be given out to advance the goals of the most important of all causes, so be it.

I hereby issue a challenge to the masters of all of Byzantium's cities, Constantinople excepted. In order to properly demonstrate your devotion to your religion and your people, I request that the following be constructed, in this specific order:

All settlements must build level 1 church.
All cities must then build level 2 church.
All castles must then build level 1 farm.

The first nobleman to complete this task will receive their choice of armor from the Vaults of the Patriarch, the choices being:

Fine Armor: +4 hps
Ornate Armor: +1 authority, -2hps

If the higher-ups of this Empire do not take the time to feed their people and worship their Savior then I fear for its future.

Godspeed, and I wish the remainder of the Magnaura session to be blessed and productive.

(OOC: This is the first of the in-game "Events" to take place, as authorized by TinCow. Upon completion of this task, the first Senator to do so should notify TinCow of your choice of armor and it will be added to your avatar's retinue via the console.)
