Batu Khan sat with his wife, Anna in a yurt in the lands of the steppe. A guard came to him saying ''Vizier Chagatai (still researching, may change) requests a meeting.'' Batu allowed it and Chagatai came in, dressed in robes and wearing a Mongol style hat. ''Greetings be to you, Khan of the Ulus Jochi.'' Chagatai said, sitting down. ''Greetings to you, Vizier of the Ulus Jochi.'' Batu replied. ''Honorable Khan, I have a suggestion to make. It is known that diplomacy is valued by many nations. I would like to suggest us making diplomacy with the world's nations.'' Chagatai said. Batu talked to Anna and then replied ''It is a good idea. Have a notice drawn up.'' Chagatai replied and left the yurt. He then had a notice written:

''To all nations,
Our Khan, Batu would like to open diplomacy with the world. We hope you consider doing so as we look forward to diplomatic relations.''

Thanks for telling me this. I think I go for MT-PMT as a modern Golden Horde.

Anyone want diplomacy?

OOC: Good choice. How closely do you parallel Khan? Are your people nomads? Also, I'm not sure how Ghengis's tacticts, devestating in his time, would function in Modern Tech.

IC: The Holy Empress of the Holy Empire of The Aeson would like to discuss opening an embassy in Ulus Jochi.

In-Character (IC):

"Sir, seems a new nation's popped up."

The Supreme General replied. "Well, are they genocidal? Nazis? Stalinists? Maniacs?"

The Chief Advisor told the General, "No. They're quite sensible."

"Then I want to send in a diplomat."

"Yes sir. It will be done."

To: The Golden Horde

From: Pythogria

Seeing that your nation has passed our "Reasonable Policy" checks (with flying colors, might I add), we would like to send Richard Geion, a diplomat, to your capital to negotiate friendly relations with the Golden Horde.

Please respond as soon as possible.

Signed,
Chief Advisor John Geralt

The Golden Horde is based on Batu Khan, the Mongol who fought in Russia. Genghis Khan's Empire is also an inspiration and I may have it part of the Empire. Also, Ghengis or Temujin's tactics could work, perhaps a mix of them with the German Blitzkrieg?

The Khan is glad of our nation's passing of your checks. We will welcome Richard Geion, however does he accept a meeting in a ger or Mongolian yurt?

Some info on the real life Golden Horde

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongol_Empire
And some info on my nation's heritage. I may combine the two, I have planned to do so.

I am still planning out my nation too.

I may have some of my nation nomadic and some not.

He will be very fine with that. He is en route via Carryall right now.

---Skies Above the Ocean Around Golden Horde---

The Carryall passed through international airspace, sighting the Golden Horde.

The pilot told Richard, "Seems we're here."

Richard replied. "Good. Seems we'll avoid jet lag."

The pilot nodded and radioed the Golden Horde mainland. "This is the Pythogrian Diplomat. Requesting permission to land at nearest airport. We require a helipad."

I do know about Mongol history and I am still thinking on them being nomadic or not.

A man dressed in Mongol attire came to the man and said ''Greetings. Welcome to the steppe. I am Vachir. I will be the man in charge of the Golden Horde's diplomatic group. Follow me.'' Vachir led the diplomat to a yurt. When inside, several officals were there. ''This is...what is your name?'' Vachir asked the Aesonic diplomat.

To: Ulus Jochi
From: Mr. White, foreign affairs officer
Subject: Diplomatic Relations
Message: I am the Dominion's head diplomatic offier and I would like to establish a formal diplomatic relationship with the Golden Horde. We will, if it is acceptable, send a man into your country to bring these relations to a start. Mr. Grey will arrive with a personal guard of three men. In the future we would be interested in pursuing an embassy and perhaps a formal allience with you.

Good day,
Mr. White


The Golden Horde, two days later, landing of Pudite diplomatic helicopter

The small, unarmed black helicopter set down on the hard earth of the nation of Ulus Jochi soon after the arrival of their counterpart from the nation of The Aeson. Landing a good two-hundred yards away, Mr. Grey hopped lightly onto the ground, quite surprising for his impressive six-foot frame, followed by three similarly large fully-protected soldiers in black and dark green polycarbonate armour and full-cover helmets with black visors.

The diplomatic group, without saying anything, advanced off the landing strip in perfect formation and waited for an official to guide them further.

He will be very fine with that. He is en route via Carryall right now.

Not to be rude but can he not use a airplane and instead use another method of transportation? If not, I will use this post.

A man in Mongol attire greeted the group. ''I am Suren. I will lead you to where our talks will be.'' Suren said as he lead them to a yurt. When they went inside, officals were there. ''Mr. Grey, what does your nation seek with the Golden Horde?'' Suren asked.

OOC: He's using a carry-all... I don't think that's an airplane. I think it's closer to a transport helicopter.


My mistake. Sorry for that.

OOC: No big. They're pretty much unique to him, I think, so no reason you should be expected to know.

The pilot nodded and radioed the Golden Horde mainland. "This is the Pythogrian Diplomat. Requesting permission to land at nearest airport. We require a helipad."

The Golden Horde gave the Pythogrians a helipad to land on. A man named Unegen came dressed in Mongol attire. ''Greetings. I am Unegen. I will lead you to the place of meeting.'' Unegen said, leading Richard to a yurt. In the yurt, a group of officals were there. ''What does Pythogria seek?'' Unegen asked.

"I am Vincent. May I ask whom I have the honor of adressing?"

''We are officals of the Khan.'' one offical said. ''Vincent, what does the Aesonic nation seek with the Golden Horde?'' another said.

Richard bowed politely. "Pythogria seeks an alliance, embassy exchange, and perhaps trade."

The officals discussed things and then said ''That seems acceptable to us. We are sure the Khan will accept.'' ''Do you have a treaty we can sign?''

''We are officals of the Khan.'' one offical said. ''Vincent, what does the Aesonic nation seek with the Golden Horde?'' another said.

"Well," replied Vincent, "Several things. First, we would like to open an embassy. Second, we would like to come to a trade agreement. Finally, we would like an opportunity to send Aesonic Missionaries to the steppe."

OOC: Mongols, if I'm not mistaken, had religious freedom. But then, I'm limited to a book on Ghengis Khan and a History Channel Documentary, so I could be wrong...

The officals discussed things and then said ''That seems acceptable to us. We are sure the Khan will accept.'' ''Do you have a treaty we can sign?''

"Yes, we do."

Richard pulled out a scroll, and unrolled it. It was a treaty, stating that the Golden Horde were to be allies, and would trade anything not against their laws. It also stated embassies would be exchanged.

"I also have another offer. Your nation is very small. Thus, you must defend yourself. Perhaps we could sell you military equipment and add you to the Nuclear Protection Pact?"

"Well," replied Vincent, "Several things. First, we would like to open an embassy. Second, we would like to come to a trade agreement. Finally, we would like an opportunity to send Aesonic Missionaries to the steppe."

I never said my nation had no religious freedom, Aeson. Also, I am checking out things on the Mongols.

''An embassy and trade is good. As for missionaries, explain this. Our nation holds faiths like Christianity, Tengriism, Shamanism, Buddhism and others.'' one offical stated.

We are interested to set diplomactic relations. We will give you the technologies of civil, warfare, and economic to help build your empire big. As a promise, Leocardia helps build their allies to the highest.

Secret Message to the Golden Horde

Perhaps you should get under our defence system? Basically, it uses sattelites to fire watermelon-sized projectiles at Mach 10 using large railguns at missiles.

OOC: It is possible.

I knew you were not saying that. I am still planning out my nation so things like the religions I mentioned may be changed for example, I guess.

''We only ask for info on the Aesonic faith. We would want to know of what it is about. We will consider allowing missonaries in our nation.'' was a reply.

"Well, our religion grew from the ancient myths of the Norse gods, but it has evolved and changed since then. We stress honor and loyalty. Virtue is valued above faith, although what we consider virtue is different from others. Unmarried relationships are permitted, but if a man gets a woman pregnant, he is bound to offer her marriage. Would you like me to go on?"

"We will not initiate any conflicts. You have my word on that. What is the Aesonic form of virtue?" The man spoke as if quoting a holy text, which, as it so happened, he was, "When you pledge your loyalty, you are bound to it. Never break an oath. Do not show mercy in the midst of battle. When the battle is over, then show mercy. If a foe asks you for his death, give it to him painlessly. Do not harm the harmless. Do not stand idly by when wrong is commited, if you have the power to stop it."

''That is an interesting form of virtue. We do use the Yasa of Genghis Khan here, some may do so. We could tell you about the Yasa if you wish to. We will consider Aesonic missionaries and we appreciate your statement on conflicts.''

I may use the Yasa in my nation, I am considering it.

"Please do. I am always willing to learn more about other religions and philosophies."

"Please do. I am always willing to learn more about other religions and philosophies."

''The Yasa was made by Genghis Khan during his time. A man named Makrizi said ''He ordered that all religions were to be respected and that no preference was to be shown to any of them. All this he commanded in order that it might be agreeable to Heaven.'' Makrizi said it was from the Yasa. Vartang said ''The Yasa of Chingis Khan forbids lies, theft and adultery and prescribes love of one's neighbor as one's self; it orders men not to hurt each other and to forget offences completely, to spare countries and cities which submit voluntarily, to free from taxes temples consecrated to God, and to respect old people and beggars. Whoever violates these commands is to be put to death.'' Makrizi and Vartang both said their statements were from the Yasa.

In real life, the Yasa is being studied, I don't know if they have an exact form of it or what not.

Mr. Grey, flanked by his trio of guards, responded in a calm, even, and unchanging voice to the foreigner.

"We, the Dominion of Emperor Pudu, seek diplomatic relations with your nation, and possibly an embassy or even a military allience. What is your opinion"

OOC: Yeah. Ghengis Khan was cool. By the way, OOC is out of character, for stuff that's not part of your RP, like the bolded part. IC is in character, for stuff that is actually part of it.

IC: The diplomat nodded. "Is there a place that I might start making arrangements to set up the embassy?" He asked.

Vincent smiled, and drew from a pouch a long wicked looking knife. He placed it on the ground between them, with the point towards himself. "I am honored by this visit. But now, I have small details to attend to, and I do not wish to bore you."

''We hope diplomatic relations can be established. Thank you for this meeting.''

A few hours later, Vincent arrived in front of one of the officials again.

"I have had contact from my superiors. They request that they may send a General to discuss tactics with yours, and share millitary ideas."

''A discussion of tactics sounds interesting. When would the Aeson want it?''

"We can send the general as soon as I send back word. Or we can delay as long as you like."

''Let us plan for his or her arrival first.''

"Well, they will need a place to stay while they are here. Presumably they'll arrive by helicopter. How much needs planning?"

''We will notify you when we have finished planning.''

''The Golden Horde would accept this. Shall we sign a treaty or first negoitate it all?''

"I am sure we can fashion a treaty at a later time, for now let it be known that our two great nations are now bonded in this way. It should also be discussed, our request for an embassy in your nation."
