 * Rossopetsk Conflict: Although we officially have made peace with Rossopetsk, we continue assisting our vassal of Karjala in their campaign in Rossopetsk. We also attempt to broker a peace between Karjala and Rossopetsk, with Karjala annexing the northern frontier of Rossopetsk.
 * Events:
 * The Horseman of Conquest: With news reaching us of Alka Khan's demise by the hands of Temujin, the Horseman of Conquest, combined with his sheer cruelty and brutality, King Andreas decides that the new Khan is untrustworthy and a warmonger (although he doesn't send word of his thoughts to Karakorum, of course). Although paying lip service to the new Khan, the King also secretly tells noblemen and merchants to cooperate with the new Mongol Empire only when absolutely necessary, and meanwhile focus on getting our defense infrastructure (walls, siege weapons, etc) up to scratch and gathering as many assails as possible. Cherno-Vedena's call for a defense against the Tuvans is secretly accepted, and we also send envoys disguised as peasants or minor merchants (to avoid the Mongols finding out) to kings in the area, including Svearike, Altprussen, Rostov, Kiev, Svartheim, Escosia, Vestkyst, Avaland, Vesnia, Kholmogory, and the Komi Empire, to stand, united as one army and one inexorable force, against the coming onslaught of the terrible Horseman of Conquest.
 * Johvi of the North: A charismatic and extremely able warrior and diplomat, Johvi Pohjoinen was born in a small Sami village, in fact the same one where Aimar the Red's mother was raised. Hearing of opportunity further to the south, he decided to leave his ancestral home at age 18 and wander south, soending a few years as part of a mercenary band during the Rossopetsk Conflict, where Inkerian officers recognized him for his charisma and intelligence. He was later invited to the Inkerian court by King Andreas himself, and eventually struck a friendship between them. Johvi Pohjoinen, the King's right-hand man, was very influential in Inkerian politics during the early 1200s, and directed several projects, the most influential of which would be the "passive-agressive" stance towards the Horseman of Conquest (detailed in the first event). He is also cited to have composed "Kunnia" (Glory), the national anthem of Inkeri, a heavily modified and melodic version of the Sami war cry "Mana Fal Helvehii".
