Any reason you like black-and-white so much?
:P

Also, you can use the sun, but just use one that looks more like RL medieval depictions of the sun.

That's a yes, then. G-Tech is a player with Buddhist minorities.

Would this sun be more acceptable?

Yes, I suppose. Most medieval ones either had more texture, a face, or were yellow, so a 1/3 plus the sun shape is good enough. :P

BTW, Liec, edited letter in.

Well it did have a face on it but I thought it looked foolish.

Now, I can use both the sun and Fleur-de-lis flags! Huzzah!

Also, I'll edit in my letter soon.

The face would be preferable, if you don't mind.

Also, the fleur-de-lys... the one depicted seems a bit too modern. If you could stick to the sun, that'd be good.

Much better. Both are fine.

Is the yellow and blue outline intentional? What image-editing program do you use?

I believe he took a blue-and-yellow flag and painted them. So probably not.

I can edit them out though, if you want. Tomorrow.

Do I need a backstory for every meaningless thing?

No it wasn't, I just don't feel like editing that out. That is why I wanted to use the first Fleur-de-lis flag I posted.

Paint.

It would be cool; it seems to play a pretty central role, and wouldn't it be nice for the colours to be known and even feared as the national representative hues of Francia?

You don't have to, though; you can just say that the heralder had the black and white closest to hand when the bastard came to the armoury.

Allen, since almost two months have past in the IC would it be safe to assume the Papal Emissaries have arrived in the KoJ yet?

Who changed it from the original to the new one?

There never was an original. In this AH the Capets used Black and White from the start. Blue and gold were never to be.

It wasn't the Capets who came up with gold and blue, that came later.
I mean, who changed it to black-and-white from whatever it was before?

Also, the main language of the marketplaces of Jerusalem is Jewish Aramaic.

It isn't Jerusalem, it's Tyre.

Also, it's a theory. In this time we just know it isn't flat. For example, IIRC, Columbus thought it was pear-shaped.

I mean the whole of Jerusalem kingdom; only the little bazaars out in the countryside would still be Arabic speaking, and even then, heavily diluted.

yay for Jerusalemian multilinguality

Also, do you want to do a join movement to restore Latin to the people's language? The Italian rebels would support it, since no local vernacular has become widespread due to Lombard oppression, I certainly would with all these scattered island isolates and my heritage/culture, Rome could do it, and Benevento wouldn't be annoyed. Byzantium might nto be to annoyed either.

Hm?
A movement to make Latin the spoken language throughout Italy? Sure, hence why every citizen in Rome, goes to Monasteries to learn then takes the advanced courses in the University(Considering that is fine with you)

And yes, I'd believe in my Alt-History Papal State, the Papacy would support educating the masses in the fields of reading and writing.
