 * Sultan Al-Adfal ibn Salah Al-Din Al-Ayyub: Military greatly improve, along with economy and infrastructure. Sultan Al-Mansur, being only eleven years old, is placed in custody in Cairo while the Viceroy Al-Adfal takes control of the nation. The population stands at 8.2 million. The military citidels of Aleppo, Damascus, and Damietta are strengthened, with complete new architecutural designs drawn up for the fortresses under construction. The military is built up on high alert, prepared for any retaliation from the Franks since the end of the last Crusade. The military is composed of 300,000 men, including 50,000 Sipar Cavalry, 50,00 Lancers, 50,000 Pikemen, 5,000 Elite footsoldiers, and 100,000 Mamluke mercenaries. A Castle is constructed in Syria, and another one in Ascalon. A great number of mercenary ships are pooled together to make a tenative navy centered at Damietta, consisting of 25 Galleys and five frigates. The madrassa schools are spread throuhgout the nation, as the children of local Emirs and Beys are educated in the latest art and science. Various schools of Sunni Islam are seen throughout the nation, taught in the local schools of Aleppo, Fayyum and Alexandria. A council of scholars from all Sunni branches are sent to Damascus to advice Al-Adfal. Shia Islam is completely purged from the nation. The Viceroy Al-Adfal declares that he will prolong eternal jihad against the Ahl Al-Kitab, until they are no longer a threat to the Umma of the Believers. The Coptic Christains are not openly persecuted, but the jizya tax is greatly enforced as a way of subverting any sedition from them. A military truce is offered to Byzantium. A mutual alliance is offered to Almohad and Rum. Al-Adfal's brother Al-Adil leads an army of 12,000 Sipars and 2,000 Soldiers to conquer the Sultanate of Yemen to the south. 
 * Byzantine Diplomacy: The emissary of the Basileus, Romanos Christopoulos, say thatthe Basileus will accept at the condition that the Sultan doesn't ally with Rum.
 * Sverre Sigurdsson: Swerre works on fielding the most massive army our Kingdom has seen, but our intentions remain entirely secret. We aim to mobilize 40,000 men, and our economy and Infrastructure improve. Chuchs open up all across the nation, and we are working to purge our nation of the pagans. Taxs are heavy for this still secret military campaign underway.
 * Alexios III Angelos: An attempt to overthrow from John Komnenos (nicknamed The Fat) and the Basileus's son-in-law, Alexios Doukas failed to overthrow Alexios III, who in his rage execute all conspirators, with the exception of his son in law, who is imprisoned. Following the events, the Basileus reaffirm that his heir is will be his son-in-law, Alexios Palaiologos. A new wave of conscription is made in the Balkans, and the Basileus send his son-in-law Theodore Laskaris to reorganize the military in the region. A secret letter is sent to the Tsar of Bulgaria, proposing him to split the Serbian region between themselves following a successful invasion. 
 * Leopold:Leopold upgrades Austria's military.(Secret)In order to expand our influence we plan a takeover of the Bavarias and Bohemia.(end Secret).An internal coup the Dukes of Milan is planned.Leopold sends spies to discover this.
