[SIZE=+1]Senator Helios IV Eliasian[/SIZE]
My fellow senators, we are assembled to discuss first the dark mater of the slave trade. Senator Colombo has proposed one amendment of it: it is good but I would like to propose my own change of it. One: No citizen of the Kaysrutyun may be subject to the horror of being a slave. Two: No true Christian- this exempts the heretic Catholics, of course- may be a slave. However, we must make the difference between true Christian and false furasteri {{(xenoi)}} or monghols only converting to not be persecuted in the glorious Kaysrutyun. These we cannot show mercy to- they will continue to worship the false dark gods, even after having promised not to do so. Therefore it is clear that we cannot try to "convert" them; the furasteri and monghols cannot be asked to convert.
On the second point, I am clear on this: the Kaysrutyun must retake the land of Syria and Egypt from the sons of Timur. Not only will this strengthen our position and weaken the heathens, but the reataking of Egypt will provide a strong base to explore the faraway lands of Hindkastan and Cina.
