Shireroth

Goldenbrook wants Musica. What does Yardistan want.

We have erb.

The issue is that I don't personally use the economy all that much. So how can I put money aside for the entire Duchy? Kind of like a petty cash fund for all Yardistanis. Not that this would be entirely useful given the quiet state of Yardistan at the moment.

I also mentioned the possibility of a couple of the tiny islands off the southern coast of Modan-Lach, north of the United Isles. I don't know how integral those are to Goldenbrook. It wouldn't need to be an equal land trade; we will accept less land area.

Note: Is Max's map here accurate?

Yeah, I know for a fact that that won't fly with Ric. You can have the small islands off the coast of Lakhesis (not Benacia).

The money could be used in the next round of taxes.

How much money?

I'm willing to contribute something to Ryan if it's within my reasonable abilities to make it happen. I don't know what you want though.

Edit: er, um, I guess this is technically interference. If you'd like to expel me I'd understand.

Nah. It's constructive.

Wait.. before we continue. Are we talking about permanently gaining control of Musica, or just a lease like last time?

I was under the impression it was permanent.

Just making sure. With all the confusion....

Since Mike has a good grasp on what lands he'd be willing to part with along the coast, I'll let him take over the negotiations if he wants.

I'm still curious about who owns the island directly below Modan-Lach (above Mirioth). Because my map shows it belonging to you guys, and Max's map (linked above) shows it belonging to Yardistan - or more precisely to Naudia'Diva.

If you mean the three islands between Mirioth and Modan-Lach, they are called the Skyla islands and belong to the Imperial County.

Yes, I believe those are the ones in question.

I've made a map circling them in blue.



If those are, indeed, already a part of the Imperial County, then what of the other islands along the coast?

You can have these islands, marked in blue:

Deal.

Not including those in light blue of course. I guess we have a deal then.

Were not the Skyla Islands ours to start with and the Kaiser (one of them) stole them from us along with the area around Shirekeep?

That is a pretty accurate description.

It wasn't me!

Weren't you asked politely to stay out?

They're not yours to trade anyway, apparently.


Are we going to write this up as a treaty then?

He's dead now.. let's move on.

I will sign such an... agreement.

You need to deal with Erik, but I consent to Goldenbrook giving those three islands off western coast of Lakhesis to Yardistan in exchange for Musica.

THE COMPACT OF THE COAST
Be it known that the DUCHY OF YARDISTAN and the DUCHY OF GOLDENBROOK do hereby agree to the following terms,
This day, the Eighth of February, Two-Thousand and Ten, 3839 ASC,

1. Yardistan agrees to cede the County of Musica to the Duchy of Goldenbrook indefinitely.

2. Goldenbrook agrees to cede the three islands off the western coast Nee to Yardistan.

3. Yardistan passes all rights and use of Musica to Goldenbrook.

4. A Pokemon will be sacrificed to Malarbor.

Signed for Yardistan, Duke Ryan
Signed for Goldenbrook, xxxxx

I approve re: point 4...

I agree. But call it a Compact or Agreement, or oath... or something. Treaties being frowned upon by the Imperial Government and all.

Yea

Ryan? We ready to make this happen. Proly ought pass it by the Kaiser for a once over, don't think we need a decree. If we do I am got the Steward chair...

Land swaps between duchies with approval of both dukes does not need Kaiseral approval.

I thought we already sealed this deal?

Err.. Yes! Sealed! DONE! .. moving on.
