2nd Aladarian Congress of Lords

The Second Annual Aladarian Congress of Lords was held on the 5th of Blossom 807 in Baltheim and hosted by Viscount Vladimir Mangelsdorff.

The Congress approved the shipbuilding program proposed by Viscount Xavier Sartoris and the expansion of the Aladarian Navy to foster security and trade across the region. Funds were approved for the rebuilding of the ‘Yoffan Dike’ that was damaged during the Middle Duchies War and the Congress also agreed to relax labour restrictions to enable the movement of serfs between estates to ensure work is done to complete the harvest.

The congress created the Aladarian Engineer Corps that will be tasked with infrastructure improvements to road and bridges across Aladar in an effort to increase trade and communication between various realms and the corps will be led by General Karl von Schultz.

Viscount Xavier Sartoris by virtue of his rank would have been Lord High Admiral but convinced the Congress to make his cousin Davydd Sartoris the Lord High Admiral of Aladar to reflect the importance of the role and enable him to continue his work in Zumular.
