If Makedonios knew where it came from, he'd set it on fire... I think Makedonios will be more disgusted if he hears she has met with the fat Genoese merchant. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) Expect the story soon. ;D Yes but Ioannis made her cry... Makedonios doesn't know that of course but if he did... ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png)

There it is, I posted the beginning and I think at this point pretty much anyone could jump in.

Describing Cyprus can come later.
I want to jump to the part where others can contribute.
We can always add in descriptive "filler" of the setting later.

Speaking of descriptive filler, here is some info about Cyprus for us to sprinkle into the story. Geography:Here is the part from Wikipedia regarding climate: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprus"The climate is temperate and Mediterranean with dry summers and variably rainy winters. Summer temperatures range from warm at higher elevations in the Troƶdos mountains to hot in the lowlands. Winter temperatures are mild at lower elevations, where snow rarely occurs, but are significantly colder in the mountains with sufficient snow for seasonal ski facilities. Dust storms are frequent throughout the year." History:For the history of Cyprus, here is the important part on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprus_%28Middle_Ages%29"When the Arabs invaded Cyprus in 688, the emperor Justinian II and the caliph Abd al-Malik reached an unprecedented agreement. For the next 300 years, Cyprus was ruled jointly by both the Arabs and the Byzantines as a condominium, despite the nearly constant warfare between the two parties on the mainland and the collected taxes were divided among the Arabs and the Emperor. Isolation of Cyprus from the rest of the Greek speaking world assisted the formation of a separate Cypriot dialect. This period lasted until the year 965, when a resurgent Byzantine Empire under the leadership of Nicephorus Phocas conquered the island." I think we can assume that there will be some Arabic texts in the library. Literature:Speaking of the library, it might be a stretch but perhaps there are fragments of the Cypria there. That would get Anna's attention. Information on it is here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CypriaCuisine:Here is the wikipedia entry on Cyprian cuisine: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuisine_of_CyprusI recommend having the meal at the ChapterHouse consist of a lot of seafood. Also, it should have some Halloumi mixed with mint. (mint was very big in Cyprus.) The wikipedia entry for Halloumi is here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloumi

Since my character has a siege expert trait he could probably also be in the library planning a defense and reading military histories. Once the story progress to the library Ill post some stuff.

You can write your stuff now. We can always move parts around.
Remember, YourLordandConquerer is in the library too so maybe you two can work something out. Or just write your parts seperate and we'll combine them.
TheFlax, do you want the Princess to eat first or go to the library first?

I'm finally back and reading the stuff you posted on Cyprus, PK. I don't mind library or dining first, you are the host. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) It might be better to get the diner over with first though, seeing as I wrote she was hungry. Just a thought.

Yeah but she is the Princess. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) <-- sticking tongue out back at you since you seem to be doing it a lot. I guess dinner first. Might seem weird to have guys sitting in the library reading while the Princess eats but no one said they were the most socially graceful group. Up to you "princess". ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) <-- and here is another in a vain attempt to catch up to you in number of tongue smiley's.

The tongue smiley is my only hope in not being taken too seriously. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) When you put it that way... We can make a pass by the library and then eat diner. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Library sounds good to me. But is Anna really capable of making a "pass by" the library? She seems like the type to become entranced by a shelve of books. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) <-- my own attempt to add mirth and humor to the cold hard reality of internet text.
