Chancellor's Report, 1236 AD

My lords,
The Turks have unexpectedly broken off the siege of Adana, I wonder what compelled them to do so, but it also means no Imperial lives need be wasted this day.
The Russians have laid siege to Thorn again, trapping the late von Kastilien and his two elder sons inside the fortress with the FHA. I await word on whether a counteract is to be launched.
A Russian diplomat has concurrently bribed and caused a small minority of the BHA to disband. It seems that these Bavarian troopers did not feel appreciated by their lords.

The plague continues to stalk the lands around Antioch and I hope it does not spread. I have ordered a curfew onto the city so that no man, woman or child will cause the unnecessary loss of life.

A merchant's guild has been accepted at Breslau.

Lastly, I am ordering Prince Jobst back towards the heartland after learning that the English have also made peace with the French.
