Diplomatic action
Finally, the Emperor could focus his fullest attention to the last discovered land on his Empire’s borders - Caerdynn. A land filled with raucous knights and vile monsters, where valour proves itself a valuable tool in society. As the banner of the Empire approached its shores, the Great Queen of Caerdynn, Calandra, sent her noble forces to escort the troops to her capital. Whilst within the walls, she demanded to see their leader, to seek the head of their Empire. Novaris soon provided, gracing her palace with his menacing presence. Impressed by the Queen's society, Novaris offered her entry into his Empire, with the promise to keep her lands untouched by his dominion’s laws - allowing her full autonomy of what would become a duchy.

Whilst within the walls, she demanded to see their leader, to seek the head of their Empire. Novaris soon provided, gracing her palace with his menacing presence. Together they squabbled, debated, and jabbed at each other’s ego, with of course the illustrious majesty of Caerdynn winning. Impressed, Novaris offered her entry into his Empire, with the promise to keep her lands untouched by his dominion’s laws - allowing her full autonomy of what would become a duchy. Seeing the potential in this, Calandra accepted, on the condition that she be paid an official visit every year. To this, they signed an agreement - The Treaty of the Caerdynn Duchy. The Emperor has since upheld his end of the bargain, officially visiting the Duchy of Caerdynn every year to broker trade and relations between the Empire and its colonies.
