After each Member had arrived and took a seat by the long wooden table in the middle of the room, The King began to speak.
"I have called you here today in order to ask you a question, and that question is simple," he began, his hand shaking sand from parchment that he held in his hands. "Do we... Need to expand?"
At this question, each of the Council Members looked to one another until Field Marshal Shariq cleared his throat and turned his head to Aban. "'Expand' in what way, my Lord?" He asked; the question receiving nods among the gathered men.
"For as long as we can remember in our tiny lives, Joutomaa has been self sufficient. We have been able to supply food to our people, house most, bring adventure and the nomadic lifestyle to others, and keep a ready watch on our horizons... Theoretically, none here in this Kingdom need wish for more than he already has. But there are other lands out there - other Kingdoms, other Kings' Men no doubt asking themselves this very question."
Aban cleared his throat. "Do we remain here, unaware but constantly on guard of the surrounding lands, or do we open our borders to trade, knowledge. Do we secure them from possible invasion via friendship and oath of brotherhood... Or do we keep them closed and guarded?"
"No doubt, as other People begin to gain wealth and power, they will look to conquering other lands. Do we wait until ours be looked upon with the beady eye of an Eagle, or do we go forth and tame the bird before its talons prepare to strike? This meeting will be short and to the point. Debates will come after, for now, I wish for a vote and a reason for your decision... And so I ask again: do we finally take a step into the world, or imprison ourselves safely in the desert... For now?"
After finishing his little speech, he had each Lord take his turn to vote and explain why he had chosen, an event that took almost an hour to complete, during which Aban remained silent with a smile upon his face. After the last man retook his seat, The King rose and spoke a single word...
"Interesting."
By the end of the month, two parties had gathered separately; one in Estana and one in Sakzul. Each party contained a caravan of 20 armed and mounted men, an officer, a Diplomat chosen by the King himself, a wagon filled with goods and two scholars who studied the art of language, each also with mount. They set off separately, one east and one south; one to Riekasmaa and one to Marskimaa, in an attempt to make contact with foreign peoples and find those with power.

Meanwhile, the state of the country was the same as it had been for the past several hundred years. The people went about their daily lives and traded among themselves happily, guards chased down criminals and many of the armed forces guarded the southern and eastern border closely.

Curator, The Ghani National Museum of History
The beginning of this month has proven monumental for the Empire with the birth of our heir Jhardan IV, praise be that he shall become a wise and benevolent ruler, and glory rain down upon the House of Yerish as my magnificent Empress Qhitara has given birth to an heir whose body flows with the same blood as mine own! To mark this wonderful occasion our Emperor ask to have the first shovel strike the earth in the soon to be theatre’s spot, a plot we had marked prior to the heir’s birth in expectation, and bestowed marvelous presents upon his vassals, and much to my joy I was gifted with a beautiful dress of burgundy-coloured armor, with the helm graced by the symbol of The Sacred Ghani Empire. After the ceremonies a general meeting of the Ministry was called to discuss monthly affairs. Nothing of import was introduced as routines were examined, funding for research and development set aside for each Minister’s duties, and construction was planned all in all it was a pleasant day for the Empire.
---Arch-Minister Darfuhl Yerish---
The annual inspection of the major outlying fortresses Myrha Tonqhar, Uulshir Pyrnah, Hyrh Nirsha, and Kiituhl Jhanda is nearing completion with my arrival at Kiituhl Jhanda this morning, with my party only just arriving before noon at this northernmost outpost of the Empire, positioned on the tallest hill in the eastern grasslands to allow for a visual advantage. Upon my initial estimate this fortress is in the least need of repair due to the much milder climate here as opposed to the frequent, raging sand-storms that terrorize the Fehl’ruhj. There is not such extensive damage that the other forts are in imminent danger if attacked, but my time spent as Ahntil has taught me that preventative measures are best taken in concerns to the desert environment. As for the state of the garrison it appears as if these men are ready for any situation that may occur, as only true warriors of the Empire are, and thirst for the sight of blood, much talent has been displayed by these warriors as contests are held in my honour the last night of my stay. Impressed by the skills of several young warriors I have asked the greatest master from each garrison to join me and soldier for the Fyrhna, and so far I have found one for the katana, naginata, and hyeopdo, hopefully I may find one for the daikyū at this fortress. There also seems to be a rumor of another people on the borders of the Fehl’ruhj, patrols will be extended and scouting parties sent to determine the validity of these tales with orders to only use force if attacked.
