Hi folks, The Republic of Kaeir's turn. Having successfully established the Republican Order in Kaeir, the Kaeirean Senate, led by the First Citizen, Lord Basilludin, Commander of the elite Kaeirean Guard, turns its revolutionary attentions to the mainland of Taltheran and Talishara. As the preliminary step, the Republicans call on their allies on the mainland, particularly those Noble Clans and Houses related to Kaeirean Houses by blood, marriage and intrigue. Basiluddin, for both his own personal interest and the greater glory of the Republican cause, establishes the Information Secretariat to enhance the Republic's domestic and foreign intelligence and propanda organs. Ibrahim Underwood Player (Kaeir) ---- ACTION: Kaeirean Senate 1. Incite republican revolt in mainland Tirmar (2 actions x 2yrs ) "In response to the demands of the citizens of Tirmar and Talishara, the Republic has decided to heed the calls of our brothers across the Kaeirean Strait, and support them in their efforts to establish the Republican Order in their counties and boroughs, and to work towards the renewal of the Midsea as a unified, strong Republic free from the tyranny of kings, so that power resides in the hands of those who are fit for power, and not those who are simply in an off-chance born to it." Lord Osric Basiluddin On behalf of the Kaeirean Senate, In the name of the Republican Revolution. (The Kaeirean Senate incites the major merchant Houses of Taltheran, centred in Tirmar and Talishara, to join the republican cause, with full membership of the Senate. Using the strong ties of blood and commerce between the Taltherani and Kaeirean branches of many of the Houses, the Senate calls on them to honour their previous promises and join with them in the Republican Cause, and liquidate the royalists in their cities.) +2 Revolutionary spirit (Orientation + success of Kaeirean Revolt) +1 Kaeirean-Tirmari ethnic ties (related languages of Western Midsea Branch, as opposed to Taltheran - Taltherani Branch). +1 Status of Taltheran amongst the Tirmarians (Revolt framed in context of internal Taltherani struggle, unrelated to Taltherani legitimacy in Tirmar) +3 Support of Merchant-Houses -2 Status of King Aggrix of Taltheran +1 Southern proximity of Kaeir to Tirmar and Talishara basis for common interest (as opposed to northern city of Tal -1 Taltherani Guard dominated by royalist faction Result (ideal): Partial success - Tirmar joins the republican revolution, but Talishara torn apart by civil war. The Royalist cause quickly collapses in on itself in newly rebuil Port Tirmar, where the major Houses use their wealth and might to persuade the Taltherani Guard to join with them. A delegation is sent to Port Kaeir, and Tirmar is granted full representation in the Kaeirean Senate, on par with the Houses of Port Kaeir, Celtehar and Celtalath. In Talishara, chaos ensues, as royalist and republican factions emerge, cutting across ethnic and family divides (Taltherani and Tirmarian). Limited civil war is driven to murderous stalemat in Talishara only by the daily curfew of nightfall. Meanwhile, the republican faction in Talishara waits for relief from Port Kaeir. In the aftermath, the Kaeirean Senate begins preparations for despatching a relief force to Talishara to assist the Talisharian republicans to overcome the royalists. The General Staff of the Kaeirean Guard begins discussions with the republican forces in Tirmar on how to to secure the eastern Tirmar coastline as far north as the Taltherani Cape, to prepare for the inevitable royalist attack from Tal. ACTION 2: Lord Osric Basiluddin - Establishment of Republican Information Secretariat Ostenibly in the name of spreading republican propaganda on the mainland, Basiluddin founds the Information Secretariat, directly responsible to him, and coming under the authority of the Port Kaeir Govenorate that he controls. In reality, the Information Secretariat is actually an intelligence agency conducting foreign and domestic espionage, assassination, propaganda and blackmail, for the purpose of strengthening the position of Basiluddin's Kaeirean Guard in the Republic. Initial operations focus on Port Kaeir, as well as the nearby cities of Port Tirmar and Talishara. In time, the Information Secretariat will become a Key Element of Kaeirean society, and cause the further centralisation of power in Kaeir, and the strengthening of Basiluddin's Authority and Consent because of his increased power. +2 Basiluddin's position as Kaeirean Guard Commander and Port Kaeir Governor (Authority, Influence, Resources). +2 Revolutionary spirit (Orientation) - because of the need to "protect" the revolution as counter-revolution. -2 Secrecy of real purpose of Information Secretariat. +1 Support of Senate for propaganda role of Secretariat +1 +3 Support of Merchant-Houses -2 Status of King Aggrix +1 Southern proximity of Kaeir to Tirmar and Talishara basis for common interest (as opposed to northern city of Tal -1 Taltherani Guard dominated by royalist faction Result (Ideal): The Information Secretariat is established, discretely but firmly under the control of First Citizen, Lord Basilludin. Kaeir's proganda and intelligence abilities are greatly enhanced and extended far into the mainland. +2 to all Kaeirean proganda, incitement and intelligence actions.
