→[From.GetTitledFirstName] has declared the Roman Empire, long thought to be lost to the world, to be restored! Having laid claim to the homelands of the old empire, it can no longer be denied that they are the true successors of Rome and its glorious legacy. They claim a new era is upon us.

→The Holy Roman Empire, previously referred to as the Empire of the Germans by many in the East, have somehow managed to reclaim enough lost territory to declare the Roman Empire restored! It can no longer be denied that they are the true successors of Rome and its glorious legacy. They claim a new era is upon us.

→Viennensis, named after the town Vienne in southeastern Gaul, has long been lost to Roman rule, but has now been incorporated back into the Empire. It was originally formed as a merger of the provinces Gallia Aquitania and Gallia Narbonensis created by Caesar after his campaigns had expanded the old province of Gaul too far to be administered as a single province.

→The citizens of Cyrenaica et Creta can rejoice, as Roman law is once more upheld in this barren land. Yet another ancient Roman province has been returned to the bosom of the mightiest empire the civilised world has ever seen. May it never suffer the cruel touch of barbarians again.

→While watching the latest play from a local philosopher, you notice that some of the actors are completely drunk. This is an insult to your honor and to the art of the Theatre, though the man in charge assures you they will be taken care of, it is your duty to take charge.

→A local Augur has come to your court to perform a public Auguria, the ceremony is held in a plain outside the castle walls and while approaching clouds make you worrisome, the Augur will not postpone it. After observing the entrails of many sacrifices, the Augur is about to declaim the will of the gods when a bolt of lightning strikes him violently!

→The lake is placid as you throw your rope into the water, you let the soft singing of the birds lull you into deep thoughts as you daydream on its banks. Suddenly, the rope stirs and you are pulled into the water. Opening your eyes in the water shows a dark form swiftly swimming towards you.

→With the Teutonic Order occupying their historic lands in the West and the Golden Horde destroying the Rurikovich to the East, the myriad tribes of Lithuania have finally seen fit to unite under one king for their better protection, by necessity. Mindaugas I is a strong ruler, but his kingdom is not. Lacking many of his historic lands, those having been usurped by the Teutonic Order, and being only a few petty duchies away from a full border with the Golden Horde, his fitness will be tested in the coming days. Not only does Lithuania have a vassalage of mixed religions, some Romuva and some Catholic, Mindaugas's own children are divided in their worship even from his own faith, with his son and heir Vaisvilkas an Orthodox Christian and his second son Daumantas a Romuvan. To secure his lands and carve a future for the Lithuanian people, Mindaugas must calm the religious tension in his realm while seeking alliances to help him in recovering his people's ancestral land. For Lietuva!

→As you stand trembling with a knife pressed against your neck, [From.GetTitledFirstName] suddenly seems to have had a change of mind. The knife is removed and you are brought back to the dungeon. It looks like you will live to see another day.

→[From.GetTitledFirstName] has apparently decided to sacrifice [From.GetHerHis] own spouse, [FromFrom.GetTitledFirstName], to the gods, and [FromFrom.GetSheHe] has been brought in chains to the grove. Despite professing [FromFrom.GetHerHis] continued love, [From.GetFirstName] has decided to go ahead with the sacrifice.

→As [From.GetTitledFirstName] had no prisoners languishing in [From.GetHerHis] dungeons that were suitable for sacrifice, your liege was forced to make do with some randomly purchased slaves. They are brought to the big oak inside the grove, and soon their limp and lifeless bodies are lying on the ground.

→In honor of the gods, your liege produces a Skrжling from deep within [From.GetHerHis] dungeons. [FromFrom.GetTitledFirstName] is brought to the grove for the sacrifice, and everyone agrees that this is a most worthy sacrifice.

→[FromFrom.GetTitledFirstName], a member of [From.GetFirstName]'s own extended family, is dragged from the dungeons and brought to the grove. Despite, or perhaps because of, the fact that they are of the same blood, [From.GetFirstName] shows no mercy and the sacrifice takes place as planned.

→No, this brave Skrжling shall live to see another day.

→From deep within your dungeons, your guards bring out [From.GetTitledFirstName], your Skrжling prisoner. As they drag [From.GetHerHim] to the front of the grove and the druid sprinkles [From.GetHerHis] face with blood, the Skrжling shouts something in [From.GetHerHis] own language and stares at you defiantly.

→Due to the untimely death of the Polish monarch without a favorable heir, Vaclav II Premyslid of Bohemia has been crowned king in place of another Piast. This gives Vaclav--heir to Ottokar, and all the desire for revenge against the von Hohenstauffens that comes with being his son--a great deal of power in Europe. If Vaclav is given time to consolidate and expand it is unlikely the Holy Roman Empire will ever be able to reassert its authority over Bohemia, with its control of the Italian peninsula already crumbling. The time to move is now!

→The Seljuk Sultanate, beset on all sides with enemies and divided internally by decadence, corruption, and incompetence, has finally collapsed. Myriad ex-vassals, remaining members of the Seljuk family, and opportunists stand poised to fight over the remnants. The Sunni Caliph, the Turkish Sultan of Khiva, and untold Emirs, some of them the last remnants of the old Persian elite, all circle the corpse with hunger--who will win the great prize?

→For a brief period,the duchies of Ryazan and Novgorod stand balanced in the frigid north of Russia. Both are powerful and both wish to unite the Rus in a more permanent union, but only one can succeed. To the south, problems in Byzantium are alleviated by the fracture of the Seljuk royal house between the seat of Perisa and Rum, but this, too, is an imperfect solution--the Sultanate of Rum is still immensely powerful. Nevertheless, with the immediate pressure of the immensely powerful Seljuk Sultanate diverted from Byzantine possessions, it may be possible to take advantage of the weakened position of the Egyptian Sultan on the North African coast….
