[Sultan 3953]

(This is actually the first tithe because all of you did not pay the first one I posted.)

[Ursolon 197]

(( Norjun paid! ))

[Scipp3r 451]

(( It did? I don't recall payment from Norjun, just a self proclaimed Duke before he took the oath.. so it must means he didn't paid it yet..))

[Scipp3r 451]

*A Notice has been pinned to the board

" The Duchy of Hanseti has paid the tithe of seven thousand gold coins ."

[Zebanamana 410]

((What of logs, planks, charcoal, books, watermelon, pumpkin, wine, ale, fish, and other meats?))

[Scipp3r 451]

((other items may be negotiated but not all will be accepted))

[lugarthecougar 57]

((Now question, does the bread HAVE to be baked with love? Or does indifference count as well?))

[Nico 121]

((Is this weekly?))

[Scipp3r 451]

((No, whenever Godfrey wants it I collect though.))

[Zebanamana 410]

A letter is returned to the office of the High Treasurer stating that Westfall has it's tithe completed and awaits being picked up by the Treasurer's assistants.

[Mirtok 2853]

((What is to become of the dukes whom fail to pay their tithe? Perhaps an example as to what will be the consequences will jump start the arrivals of said tithes.))

[Agnub 605]

((What is to become of the dukes whom fail to pay their tithe? Perhaps an example as to what will be the consequences will jump start the arrivals of said tithes.))

((I believe Duke Vallark initially lost his Duchy to his Counts and bannerhouses that wished to see him out of power. He had failed to pay his tithe which was a pretty big factor in Godfrey's decision to declare a new Duke. Only through negotiations and a split of the original Duchy did he get a title back, if I remember correctly.))

((Yes, the Duchy of Norjun has been split into two separate duchies, Audvergne and Norjun. Audvergne is being governed by Duke Balian Guivret and Duchess Helaine, and currently Norjun by Duke Vallark.))

(Half of my vassals were corrupted to rebel by a dwarf named Baldur. They spoke to Godfrey and claimed they had usurped me, yet half my vassals were still loyal to me and I still had a large amount of soldiers and citizens. Godfrey initially thought I was completly defeated, I believe, so he named Balian Duke. Instead of overcomplicating the situation, I simply gave the rebels half my land and let them run their own Duchy. Norjun and Auvergne.)
