Thomas, I wish you luck at Magdeburg, but be careful.

Bertin, you have served as my second faithfully, and I have not forgotten this. If the Moorish Crusade is called and no threats surface to Lorraine, I'd would be honored if you led our army on the Crusade.

I will proceed to Antwerp without my current forces, perhaps only the mounted sergeants, and rally what men we have in the area to repulse the Germans.

Thoughts? (OOC: woad&fangs, you still out there?)
