    Wise words, at least coming from a clown they are, Hypatios smiles to show he is joking, I fail to understand how people are seeing this as personal glory. If they are truly loyal to the Empire before themselves then they will not care who the settlement falls to, so long as they are from this Empire. That is my thinking on the matter and if we are to be successful then we all need to think this way, lest our own bickering be what is keeping us from becoming strong rather than bickering with other nations!

    Having cast his votes a weary looking Nevoulas ek Philadelphios looks forward to his ride back to Athens. It has been a trying week for the young nobleman and he longs for the simpler joys of campaigning.

    He turns at the entrance and once more looks on the splendour of the place and relives some of the heated debates in his mind. Reflecting that it was a huge learning experience he wonders if he shall live to see another one of to see another Magnaura...


    Agggggh

    Nevoulas clamps a hand over his mouth and notices none have paid him too much bother, he rushes out the door and towards his lodgings where he will pack and quickly make his way out of Constinantinople perhaps for the last time...

    A messenger enters the halls of the Magnaura, unrolling a parchment.

    Basileos,
    Noble Lords of the Empire,

    Being true to his word, Methodios Tagaris wishes it to be known that he surrenders the village of Dyrrakhion to the rule of our benevolent Basileos.

    He proposes to remain in the town for the once until a garrison can be provided and act as his governor for the time being.

    For the greatness of our Empire,

    Signed Strator Tagaris


    The messenger the bows and exits.

    Correct me if I am wrong but did the edict not state that the settlement could only be taken with the Emperor's permission? Handing it over to him now hardly excuses this disobedience.

    Just as he was making his exit the messenger hears Mchonios words

    Stand corrected then my Lord because Strator Tagaris received permission for such a capture if you had checked our Megas' reports.
