I have now resolved Taltheran actions for 1436.

I did some changes: in action 3, I changed the city to 'Tal' because
Thalishara is under Mirrish control, and I combined actions 4-6.

Below are the renewed actions, and their results (these can also be found
from the web page).

Taltheran Civil War, Year 1436

Action 1: Salokin Vonamor I declares himself Czar of Taltheran after 
Agrigax's death. He orders the Merchant's Council absolved and 
consolidates his power base in Tirmar.

Resolution: Diff=Normal (0) + Dice (--++) + Extras (0) = 0 Mixed results

Results: General Salokin grabs Tirmar in his iron fist, crushing in the 
process the beginning republican revolution. However, his influence on 
the rest of Taltheran in very limited.

Action 2: The second child of Agrigax murders his brother and becomes 
the first general of the Taltheran Army under Salokin. He then, as 
prince of House Madrogax, takes control of that house's army and beefs 
up the Czar's army in Tirmar. He also gives a large donation to the 
Wizards' Guild in hopes of swaying them to the Czar's cause.

Resolution: Diff= Normal (0) + Dice (000-) + Extras (0) = -1 Failure

Results: The brutal murder of his brother overweights any fiscal 
arguments the Prince Madrogax can give: the Wizards' Guild will need 
quite a bit more persuation.

Action 3: The Merchants' Council seeks allies in the Kaeiren Republic. 
They consolidate their power in Tal.

Resolution: Diff=Normal (0) + Dice (00--) + Extras (0) = -2 Failure

Results:

Interpretation: The Merchant Council fail in their attempt to take 
control of Tal. The Commander of the Royal Guard, Commander Gamar, 
remains in charge of situation, although nobody knows where is loyalties 
lie now that his King is dead and the King's heir is dead by the hand of 
no less than the next-person-in-the-line-of-succession, Prince Madrogax, 
who then threw his lot with General Salokin. Quite a mess...

Action 4: Salokin seeks allies in Cedonia from the Duke of Caladyn since 
they both are recent generals turned monarchs he hopes for both a 
political and military ally. He also seeks an alliance with the Ka'Shari 
as they have very good relations between the two. Salokin wishes to give 
them land in Taltheran upon victory over the rebel Houses. And again 
with Milakanur. They are both monarchies and have good relations for 
quite sometime.

Resolution: Diff=Normal (0) + Dice (+++-) + Extras (0) = +2 Success

Results: Duke of Caladyn is succesfully contacted (but his reaction I 
leave to Andrew...). Also Ka'Shari are contacted (which is also a player 
society...). Milakanur are very much impressed by the bloodshed in 
Tirmar, and will be eager to enter the much valued friendship of the Czar.

Action 5: Salokin wants to increase his army in Tirmar with a 
conscription of all able bodied men 15 and older.

Resolution: Diff=Normal (0) + Dice (0-+-) + Extras (-1) = -2 Failure

Results: The Czar gathers his troops, but they are not overly motivated, 
and will probably be for more harm than help.

[Qai] [Results] Taltheran Actions (Rough Draft)

I'm definitely interested in speaking with Taltheran and General Salokin. Does he have an email address? I know Rollin is the player, but not how to contact him...

------Since I, Salokin, have won the civil war I
realize that my beautiful country lies in tatters
especially economically, due to the fact that the
Merchant Houses have been largely annihilated.   I
need to rebuild economically.  This is where you come
in. I realize that you have strong socail contacts in
and around Midsea. If you so desire I will grant you
enough land to build a port city and you will be able
to govern that city as well as a portion of land
around it but although you will be a lord I am Czar
and only I have absolute power, no rebuplics.  I will
defend you as best as I can on land and sea, though I
have a feeling you might be gaurding me on sea.  Know
this, Taltheran has very bad relations with Kaeir and
fraternizing will not be tolerated.  I await you r
response eagerly.
                    Salokin Vonamor I 

             Rollin

While relations between Taltheran and the Duke of Caladyn open
successfully, there is a certain coolness in the relationship caused by
the fact that Salokin, unlike Duke Yarrow, is technically an usurper.
That quibble aside, however, the Duke recognizes the value of keeping
Taltheran friendly: for one thing, it means one less border to worry
about. Also, with the Republican League of Cities allying themselves
with Kaeir, there is an element of "the enemy of my enemy" involved.

Duke Caladyn makes it clear to the Czar's emissaries that he will not
be able to provide any major assistance to the Czar until after the
domestic political situation in Cedonia is resolved. He suggests,
however, that he could send a detatchment of senior legionnaires and
sergeants to Taltheran, to aid Salokin in training his troops.

Finally, one potential future strain does exist between the Duke and
Taltheran: Mir. Mir has agreed to return all of Cedonian Tirmar except
Talishara to the Duke, but they continue to occupy Taltherani Tirmar.
For the moment, this does not matter; all three groups have other
concerns at the moment. But in a few years, things may change.

These things take time and large scale assistance is
not expected but the assistance that is offered is
welcome and a mutual offering is in order.  Perhaps
the recognition of Duke Caladyn as the rightful ruler
of Cedonia by Taltheran would be welcomed or maybe
something more fitting the Duke.  You let me know.  It
is correct that things might change within the next
few years but it is good to know that we are allies.

Err, no, true. That was part of the history me an Bob made up to cover 
the passive years of the Ka'Shari.
Since you and Bob have since designed the history otherwise, the 
Ka'Shari settlement is just an ugly rumor, nothing more.
