Lancus, Lance Empire
Gabriel Wilhelm, or as he was known to a majority of the Lance Empire, Emperor Gabriel the Third, held the yellowing parchment in his hand. It revealed to him the answer to a question that people had been asking for many years, the question of another landmass, a new world so to speak. Gabriel reacted to the map as little child might react to be handed a bag load of candy. He seem pleased.
He was quite handsome. He stood tall, having the figure of a man who lead a Empire. His blue eyes stared into the parchment, having the look about them that would make it seem like he could stare into the very souls of men. His hair was blonde, and rather long. Resting atop his head was a crown. It was made of pure gold, and in rested a single gem. That gem was a brilliant ruby, said to be one of the finest in all of Edoniras. He wore a outfit that you would expect of a Emperor. A robe of deep purple lined with fine white wool, with black pants and a brilliant golden shirt.
The throne room he stood in was probably the biggest in all of Edoniras. Although it also acted as the meeting chambers for the Upper House, with a vast amount of wooden chairs that now sat empty. The walls were a dull grey stone, and illuminated by a few torches or gas lamps scattered about. The Throne it self was made of red velvet and gold.
"I want a new ministry formed, the Ministry of Colonization. I want two colonist fleets sent to the new world immediately, each with 12,000 colonist back by 6000 regulars each. One to the Northern bit of the continent, the other straight across to the new lands. Send envoys to Numburg, The Empire of Corustaria , and United Vanjanan Empire to see if they will be willing to help us ferry supplies, colonist, and soldiers to the new lands." said a loud Gabriel. His voice was backed by a tone of authority, probably why he had led the Empire so long.
Various people rushed about after Gabriel's little speech, apparently knowing that it was there jobs to do what he said. The Minister of Foreign Relations, David, stepped into the throne room.
"Such good news isn't my Emperor?" asked David.
"Yes, with these new lands we can expand the Empire, grow stronger then ever before. David, I also have a task for you. " replied Gabriel.
"Yes my Emperor?" said David.
"Establish more formal trade deals with Lydiah, in exchange for protecting them. We will need the money to help fund our colonies. Also open up the special economic zones to foreign investors, they shall help grow our economy." said Gabriel
"I shall do as you say." replied David stepping out of the Throne Room.
It was the dawn of a new age. A age of Empire.
