    Default Re: The Magnaura

    Nevoulas watches the theater with a smile on his face. He was pleased, his announcement had gone largely unnoticed thus far and had not caused the waves of protest he had thought it would. In fact on the contrary, others had almost been encouraged by Nevoulas stand. Using the comments of Nikolaos Aristenos as an opening he raises to address the young senator, but first he reassures the flustered looking Comes Vringas.

    Comes Apoinnas, do not fear I am sure most like me will be in favour of such an amendment, too many hours have been wasted arguing over petty administrative matters for the old ways to stay.

    Turning to Nikolaos and the Ilios Korakos delegates.


    Nikolaos, you may be aware of my deep respect for the late Kosmas Mavrozomis a friend and a mentor to me in my early years. It was he who brought me into these halls as a young lad and nurtured me into the man I am today. It was his wish that the empire would sieze control of Egypt for he believed it was the key to complete control of the east and the untamed wilds of the great continent to to south of it.

    The Fatamid Caliphate and the Seljuk Sultanate have become mortal enemies of the empire and simply cannot be allowed to continue to exist. Whilst I do have an eye on these Moors, I apprieciate logistically they will not be a long lasting threat. I am ambitious that one day a group of us will venture to bring them to justice but first support will be given towards completing the task at hand.

    The fine economical work of the man sitting over here.

    Points to Makedonios Ksanthopoulos

    Has meant that the next Megas should be able to show some support towards noble continuing crusades.

    As far as the west is concerned, by this my concern is with the lack of trained troops in the Balkans. I do not trust the bishop of Rome in the current climate, I would not be surprised to see some sort of attack launched from that direction. I intend to continue to develop our resources in that area and expel any catholic influence.
