    The Vizier stands and addresses the Ayyubid ambassador.

    Noble emissary of Salahuddin, the Caliph's actions in invading Syria have brought the very peace that you sought - ensuring that the Turks, Romans and Latins come to an agreement and cease their fighting.

    Is it any co-incidence that immediately after the Caliph's intervention, the Crusaders agreed to the terms of peace offered by their adversaries?

    In any event, the Caliph has demonstrated his desire for an end to violence by withdrawing his forces from the region and back to their bases across the Euphrates, leaving only those men required to keep the peace in the occupied territories.

    Rest assured, Ambassador, that the Caliph's desire for peace is undiminished.

    If you want peace, you must prepare for war. Total pacifism only leads to total annihilation.

    it appears our thoerum about the seljuks lust for treachary and bloodshed knows no bounds is correct.

    after accepting a peace offer... and declaring they would not advance to Khiva... they have done just that, murdering the sheppards that remained whilst our warriors are occupied elsewhere.

    If they were in seljuk lands, then such an aggressive act may be justified in any noble code, but this attack, not unlike their previous cowardly actions goes against Islam, you are the sons of whores, as no man, noble, peasant or anywhere in between would act this way. This only provides more proof, as if it were needed, that the seljuk is not to be trusted.

    A pro-longed war in Transaxonia is not our wish. Therefor, we took necessary measures to bring this conflict to an end. After seeing you Khawazi reluctant to surrender to our allies, we saw no other path.

    The Caliph has returned from a long absence inspecting his troops in the West and is surprised to hear from the Vizier that there has been little activity at Court in the meantime.

    The Turk is handed a scroll, and he looks crestfallen at first. But then, anger begins to seethe througout his body.

    He turns to the Roman ambassador with a scowl, then to the Latin one. Finally he looks at the Vizier, and sends his gaze to all in the assembly. Then the Crown Prince, Malik, barges into the hall and looks about a thousand times more pissed off than the Turkish delegate, and marches before the assembly and speaks.


    Malik- "We knew of the Ghorid spy within our ranks, but still do not know who his collaborator was from within the Coalition. However, the Turkish nation has far too much immediately concerning it to focus on that.

    Reports indicate that foreign agents have been infiltrating our nation at an astounding rate. This can only mean an invasion is imminent. Unrest in our former capital is at a whopping 35%, and similar rates are in other settlements. These are all on provinces bordering the Roman Empire and the Latin Kingdom of Damascus. This is not due to distance from capital penalties.

    We also make note of their troop movements and spies which are not well hidden. The Caliph himself and his troops have been posturing near our border and the Georgian border. The evidence is everywhere. The fact is, at least one of the nations I mentioned is going to invade us. And since we are allied with two and allied in all but name with the other, this means one of you is a filthy, dirty, rat bastard traitor!

    So, I am offering you, traitor, a chance to step forward and publicly declare to the world exactly what your intentions are towards our nation. I give you a choice;

    You can withdraw your spies, your armies, and never trouble us again, and do it peacefully, and we shall.... forget... this ever happened.

    The second choice is meeting me on the battlefield in a bloody duel to the death. There is no need to involve my citizens, or the collateral damage of war upon cities and infrastructure, in this coming contest. I will meet you, my best forces against your best forces, and we shall have ONE battle to decide this war. And I will destroy you.

    That is, if your feeble attempts at stealth and cunning haven't proven you already to be a coward. Be a man, grow a set, and challenge me openly. I DARE YOU to make plain your intentions!"

    The Turkish prince is growing more impatient, and his wrath is becomming less and less restrained. So far, none have admitted their treachery.




    "I'm waiting!"


    The Turk glares at the suspected traitor


    ".....You sicken me.

    To have my nation conquered by bold, aggressive movements is one thing. To be defeated by proud, superior forces, to be forced to kneel before our new overlords, that is not something I like to contemplate, but being beaten on the battlefield by a master is the fate of most commanders. So it is something I can stomach.

    What I cannot and will never accept is the destruction of the Turks at the hands of a spineless, gutless, weasel with no grapes."

    "STAND UP AND FACE ME!!!" the Prince boomed.

    The Rajput emissary, long silent, nods his head in time with the Turkish rant and speaks, quietly and to the point.

    I once made a similar call when faced with similar treachery from the Ghorids, who repeatedly violated every agreement they signed, and it fell on deaf ears. I must now judge it to be the fate of the world to be ruled by cowards and sneaking rogues. I have one bit of advice. Bleed them when they come, make them pay lives for every inch, and before you fall kill so many that your name will echo down the halls of their nation, in whispered tales from cowering fathers to faithless sons, until the thousandth generation.

    This is my quest. This is what has and shall come to pass in the east. I wish you good fortune with the same course in the west.

    The emissary then presents a document to the court which dissolves the Rajput membership in the Coalition and breaks certain alliances which will soon be revealed.
