Brotherly Love

[Learned Hand]

Me and Azir (and anybody else who wants to come) are going to talk to my brother, a DB whose kingdom is now close to ours, about giving him the reins of Tredemin, what with us almost getting it destroyed.

This was talked about in-session but is it ok with people who weren't there?

What deal should we try to go for (e.g. should we be ministers or just rely on the fact that we can pretty much get countries to do what we want?)

Should we tell him we're solars?

Fox isn't too fussed - feel free to deal with this one without his input. Not to say that he won't stick his oar in if I happen to be reading the threads and feel it's appropriate

Any chance of marrying Queen Latifah off to your brother? Might smooth the transition and keep her relatively happy as well.

Probably best not to tell him we're Solars until we can gauge his opinion on the topic, assess Immaculate presence. If he's receptive (his loathing of Kairos notwithstanding ) we can probably make it known to him.

I'd go for positioning ourselves as advisors. Ministers would mean we may have to be more involved in affairs of state than we will have time for - unless we can get roving concessions. K might be useful as travelling ambassador/emissary/representative to the 100K Council.

On a slightly diff tangent - is there another kingdom between Tredamin and the Gt River or is there unclaimed territory? I'm wondering, if it's open land, whether it's worth 'annexing' it and building a port for Tredamin.

Unclaimed. The 100k don't tend to build right up to the great river - it tends to attract to much attention from the very powerful states on the south bank (lookshy, nexus, great forks). basically you have to be ready to jump to a sort of higher level of economic/political/military power or it's more trouble than it's worth.
