The Magnaura

Well, I must say, that has been the most frivolous argument since the one about Antioch not too long ago. I am glad to see so many wishing to scramble for Durazzo, as the only person who actually owns adjacent land. As long as somebody captures it and holds it before the Venetians, I am happy. Remember the Venetians? I am sure they have designs for it too. Why, their nobles may be arguing at this very moment the assembly of their republic about who should be the one to take it.

Now that the straw man, red herring, ad hominem, false assumption, and slanderous arguments regarding an illegal edict whose true purpose has been exposed is over, I believe I have been vindicated. So, my good Markianos, I welcome your support in my claims over the rebels of Durazzo. Rest assured, the Venetians and the Sicilians will have to get through me in order to get to you, and the Emperor.

As we have already seen, sometimes I can be a formidible opponent. I will bring this same passion here to the defense of the realm.

I shall soon reformulate the Edict 1.9 to make it legal.

Anastasios who seems on the verge of another long tirade, but tries to refrain himself:

Senators! Let this dispute be resolved by those who see an interest in it! The edict will be re-written in a form that will be both legally correct, without the need for long interpretation and will not ruffle the feathers of any Senators involved! Now will you please give us the time to work on this and propose you an accord?

Efstratios rises again to immediately protest, but notices he is being asked to be quiet by an ally this time.

An ally... what in the bloody blazes is that???

OOC: You have sworn fealty to Anastasios in the House of Asteri thread. He accepted the oath.

TC is allowing oath swearing during this first Senate session since we can't really affect the voting power of the Senators.
