Council thread

[TheFlax]

It does seem the Allemanni are standing in our way. Then go my son, destroy them and show them the foolishness of hindering our great journey. I hereby declare war on the Allemanni!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Duva shakes his head...

I don't think this was the best solution to Maroboduus's problem.

(OOC: And who are those Ibn and TheFlax characters you speak of in the Council thread? )

[Lord of Lent]

Maroboduus returns to the tent and hears what Duva is saying

What, he was in our way! The Allemanni are weaklings and they would be slaugthered by the other hordes soon enough. If we don't kill them, they will.

By the way, does anybody know where the Huns are at the moment?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I disagree! Alemanni could be used against Romans. If Augusta Vindelicorum is destroyed by our king Visimar then Alemanni have a chance to expand south. Perhaps raid even Italy! This could've bought us more time and Romans would've concentrated their war efforts against the Alemanni and not against us!

Also, your reasoning "if we don't kill them, other hordes will" is not very good one. If we kill them now then we make it easy for others to follow us and then, when we are tired and small in numbers, attack us.

I heard from some travelers that Huns and Sarmatians are still fighting near Sarmatian capital camp.(OOC: There is a huge black land near the place where Sarmatian town should be.)

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I have signed peace with the Roman Empire! This should give us some time to strengthen our forces and plan our next move. We also should deal with the Alemanni threat. Vicus Alemanni have quite large garrison and Hortar commands also rather large army.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

The Third Council Session is open!

It will stay open for debate and legislation until 21:00 GMT on Friday, May 28th, at which point there will be 48 hours for voting!

Make sure that your legislation is proposed in the proper way.
All legislation must be seconded by two people.

[The Celtic Viking]

A tall, blonde man, who looks to be in his mid-thirties, enters the tent. His clothing and armour signifies his status as a nobleman, and looking around the tent he quickly identifies Visimar. He bows his head to the king before speaking.

"Sir, I must inform you that I caught some of the men trying to steal some meat from the canteen. I have dealt with them in the proper manner, but I must advice you to take steps in order to make sure others don't get the same idea."

Turning to the rest, he raises his hand as a sign of greetings.

"Hail, comrades! No doubt you're wondering who I am, and why I so suddenly choose to make my appearance here. Well, my name is Boiocalus and I'm serving as an officer in king Visimar's own army. I have, so long as He will allow it, decided that I should utilize my right to attend these councils to voice my opinion on the state affairs. I ask you to forgive any crassness on my part: I am, after all, first and foremost a soldier; politics haven't interested me much until now. In all honesty I still find politics a most dreadful task, but the gods have proclaimed to me in a dream that I must enter it. Since I am not a man to question or deny the will of the divine, I am here, honoured to have been given this opportunity."

Boiocalus nods his head, signifying that his introduction has been completed.
