Dark dwarves 2 wrote: The Eternal Emperor Sol Invictus Solarius Vito passes a few imperial decrees.

1. All Nobles must provide a detachment of troops should the emperor call on their aid.

2. An immediate purge of Disloyal nobles and citizens shall begin. Their lands shall be given to poorer nobles or townships.

3. All foundries or workshops will be put under imperial authority when necessary.

4. All common male citizens are expected to serve at least 5 years or service. females must serve for 3 in the town militia

The emperor also introduces a new type of soldier, the Pronoia infantry. They are poorer slaves or peasants that serve for 10 years and in the end receive imperial land grants. They are equipped by the state and given good mail, large oval shield, and mace or sword.

The emperor has also opened up a public workforce to rebuild the infrastructure of the empire.

Some nobles in the west protest, while in the north and east they simply revolt, gathering a large army of mercenaries to themselves and setting up a pretender to the throne. In the south (where the nobles are somewhat more level-headed) the decrees are recieved with dignity, if not enthusiasm.
