House of the Ασημένιο ΓΕΡΑΚΙ (Tepaki)

Absolutely. It seems I've already gotten permission from my lords, due to political differences, to secede from the Asteri.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

With it being a mutual thing, and no hard feelings, I feel that I should be able to declare a new oath to a new master. However, it is probably best to wait until the preliminary settlement grabbing has ended to make it official. Then I can undergo whatever penalty there is for "breaking" an oath.

I'm a little fuzzy on the oath rules. I should probably go read them.

I can help you take Bari if you help me take Durazzo, and then we should decide which settlement to take next. I think it should be a rebel settlement and it should be whereever is logically closest to what we have.

With 3 provinces we get a private army, do we not? That is what we need. If we can get the other houses to support us, we can perhaps repay them later by ceding some of these provinces in favor of the more valuable ones west of here. It's important that we all cooperate.

What our priorities should be is securing lands for the Empire as a whole, then dividing them up between the houses who fought for them, and making them contiguous states of the empire. This will lead to less tensions between the houses, greater cooperation, and greater success for all.

WE ARE ONE EMPIRE, after all. Let's act like one. Let's show the Emperor our commitment to restoring his nation and our people to his enlightened rule. Our successes here will convince him that our immediate Catholic neighbors who have stolen lands that belonged to the Empire not too long ago must be brought back into the fold, and brought back within our church.
