Megas Logothetes' and Senators' Reports

Megas Logothetes' Report for 1087

1086 was a year of preperation and diplomacy.


Domestic Affairs:

The Churches ordered in Athens and Nicaea will again have to wait. I have begun building a market in the capital, Constantinople was once the trading center of the world, and it will be again. We need more merchants to exploit the riches of the East. A unit of spearmen was dispatched from the city to garrison Durazzo and a replacement was recruited.


Foreign Affairs:

Anna has secured an alliance, trade rights and an exchange of maps with the Hungarians. It pains me, but they initially wanted us to pay for the privliege, however Anna was able to negotiate the deal with no exchange of money needed. Our northern border is now secure.


Military Affairs:


Imperial Army:

Senator Ioannis Kantakouzinos remains in Sofia while I head north to the Danube to build watchtowers. Allies or no we must keep an eye on the frontier.


Order of St. John:

The Order cotinues to besiege Antioch.


The Asteri:

Senators Ioannis Kalameteros and Nevelous ek Philadelphias continue to besiege Rhodes.

Senators Hypatios Machonios and Zigivinos Vasilakios have besieged Smyrna and are awaiting reinforcements.


The Komnenodoukai:

Caesar Ioannis is returning to Nicaea.

Senator Lisas Attaleiatis is now in that city.


The Tagamata:

Comes Aleksios ek Ikoniou and Senators Philippos Eirinikos and Savvas ek Militou continue to besiege Arta.


The Tepaki:

The House is now in Durazzo. I request orders from them.


Unaligned:

Senator Methodios Tagaris is scouting near Ragusa in rebel territory.

Comes Markianos Ampelas is besieging Scopia. Senator Anastasios Neokaisareitis is nearby.


For 1087, The Order of St. John is granted use of the fleet in the Eastern Mediterranean while the Asteri are granted the use of the fleet in the Aegean. (OOC: The House leaders or their designated proxies can use them during free movement)
