The Fatamid Diplomat would nod.
The merchant duke is right. With constant raids on islam trade. The Fatamid Empire, or even the Eastern Roman Empire would just invade the small castle and be done with it, and with that, the only Catholic region in the Levant area. The Venice though, replacing these unpredictible small group of knights. With trade, this only helps the bond grow between our two religions, with also profiting both.
Last but not least, it should bring many silks to Rome. Who knows, maybe spices will grow from that! This is one step closer of bonding our people together, and it is thanks to the Merchants of Venice!
The Fatamid would be smiling.
