 * Diplomacy:
 * Avesta: You have no one else to turn to so don't be like that.
 * Mutapa: We offer you a few crossbows. If our relations can improve we will co-operate further.
 * Events:
 * Andriamanelo Again Again: Things are chill. The End. Okay there are a few more things actually, mainly dealing with foreign policy and the colony of Maorisy. With relations warming between Mutapa and ourselves we pursue further positive diplomacy with them. Various plants and animal specimen are brought from Maorisy to the mainland to be introduced. Ranjeva lands on Ranjevasy (Réunion) where another colony is set up, although there are less people to settle there. With these two islands colonized, it will take time but the islands will eventually develop on their own and can assist eachother in maintenance. Ranjeva also claims Nyafo (the Rodrigues, not on the map) although due to them being even smaller and also volcanic and kinda barren, no settlements exist there.
 * Tale of the Malagasy: Andriamanelo. Last king of Imerina and first emperor of Matagaskar. We can trace his lineage far, all the way to the 1360s with the birth of Andrianerinerina, son of God who founded Imerina. In circa 200 years, the Merina state went from an irrelevant petty realm on a distant island to an empire spanning all of the island and stretching influence into the African mainland. With powerful technology in their hands, potential is grand, will the empire spread even further in the 17th century which is dawning upon us right now?
