"It is time for you to use your skills again. Slay another 40 of the sultan's men."

Niccolo watches as the Rutherns reappear, and the Stranniks poof into nonexistence.

((Did you use my Black Language for Kuln's name? Please say yes.))

CALIPHATE OF MOSUL A letter is sent to Atabeg Abu Masa "Assalaamalaikum, Atabeg. I have given permission for the Seljuks to cross Mosul and strike at Edessa. If Atef has come into the fold of the Ummah, then you are to join them in their assault. I advise taking more troops with you when you join them, however. -Imad ad-Din Zengi."

Brutalus, a dark elf, raises his eyebrow "Somebody has a crush on high elves." He then promptly forgets the notice, uncaring.

"Anyone remember that one High Pontiff who removed King William for going against him, even though he had so called 'divine blood?' Anyone? No?" says Niccolo, raising an eyebrow.

Or just unban who deserves unbanning? Everybody is innocent until proven guilty, and those who have been banned have been proven guilty. I support the unbanning of pugsiers, but not every crime is equal.

I'm going to say no on this. There are some pretty bad people that have come to this server and should remain banned.

Zengi strokes his chin in thought, mulling over Abu Musa's words. He sips at his coffee before finally speaking. "You speak with wisdom, o' Musa. For too long have we squabbled over petty borders, when we should be fulfilling our purpose as followers of the Prophet peace be upon him. I name you atabeg of Damacus, and accept this proposal. Take whatever troops you feel necessary and take them to the border of Atef. After we finish our coffee, of course. THE MOSUL CALIPHATE The Mosul Caliphate is established, with Imad ad-Din Zengi as its Caliph. This brings the total armed forces of the Mosul Caliphate to -18,000 foot soldiers -16,000 cavalry -5,000 ranged soldiers -50 siege engineers -200 ships of medium capabilities Invitations are sent out to the respective rulers of Atef, the Fatamid Sultanate, inviting them to attend a feast in Palmyra in celebration of the new nation. The feast will be held in ((one page)) [Moderation Needed] Troops are sent to the border of Atef with Abu Masa, but secretly. They should arrive in ((one page)) [Moderation Needed] A response is sent back to Jerusalem: "Assalaamalaikum, ruler of Jerusalem. We have no intention of attacking your city, but do not attempt to coerce us by threats. We do not take kindly to it and it will not be tolerated in the future. -Caliph Zengi.

Zengi awaits in the masjid, in the musallah. He sits upon a finely woven sajjada and greets Abu Musa not as an old enemy, but as a respected cavalier and acquaintance of merit. "Assalaamalaikum, Caliph. Come and sit by me in this mosque that was once yours, in this city that was once yours. I mean no disrespect by this, but we cannot forget our history. I have coffee coming for us to enjoy, so make yourself at ease, Caliph."

THE EMIRATE OF MOSUL Imad ad-Din Zengi rides back into his palace in Mosul, his great city. He remembers when he took power, and then crushed Aleppo and Hama underfoot. A stable boy comes to take his horse away and he nods, murmuring a thanks. He strides into his office and sits down as two messengers walk in, bowing low to the carpet and murmuring a salaam. Zengi bids them rise, and awaits what they have to say. The first messenger speaks. "Great Emir, the grand Seljuks desire a trade alliance." Zengi ponders for a moment, then nods. He drafts a letter. "To the great Sultan of the Seljuks, Assalaamalaikum, my patron. I do not know why you desire a trade agreement, you need not my permission, I am your humble servant, as you know from my help in defeating the treacherous Al-Mustarshid. A trade alliance is yours to exploit." Zengi turns to the second messenger, who sweats slightly. "Damascus wishes for an alliance, and to merge its territory to ours." Zengi scratches his head, a slight scowl coming to his face. "The Sunni welaad kalb (sons of dogs)? Hm, this is unexpected. I will see what they have to say." Zengi turns to his desk, drafting another letter. "Wa alaikum salaam, Caliph Abu Musa, I am interested in your offer of alliance and fealty, but do not know what spurs on this sudden kindness to me. However, I believe we should speak in person as good Moslems, allow us to meet somewhere upon our shared border. Perhaps Homs or Hama? -Imad ad-Din Zengi."

((This was actually very touching)) Brutalus cheers when he hears the news

Skype Name (Recommended): watyll97 Nation: Emirate of Mosul Reasonable Starting Military Strength (Ships, Soldiers): No navy, 5,000 light cavalry, 10,000 infantry. Backstory (If Any): Imad ad-Din Zengi (عماد الدین زنكي‎) was brought up by the governor of Mosul after his father was beheaded for treason. He conquered the neighboring emirate of Aleppo in 1128, and also seized Hama from Damascus in 1130. He will be the one to instigate the second crusade by attacking Edessa. Have You Read The Rules: KHAAAAAAAAAN How much of the nations history are you aware of: A little bit. I did Mosul really so there would be some more Islam power in the game.

Always look forward to these videos Wes, and you got some different music this time.

"Rosicrucian? Aeriel worship? Heresy. Aeriel is but a messenger. Do you pay homage to the errand boy or his lord?" Says Niccolo, frowning.

*wonders if this one is related to the princess who asked for nudes*

Sure. @leowarrior: The more sarcasm you use, the less people listen.

Start banning trolls.
