	Goal	Key
	The province of Azov in Crimea is one of the most vital ports in the Black Sea. Developed by the Italians as their main haven for conducting trade, it is a threat to our Black Sea domination plans. Perhaps then, it is time for some merchant-to-merchant conversation....
	Slavery has been practiced for many centuries under different forms. With the rise of human rights however, many advocate for the abolition of slavery. We must make sure we settle this issue.
	A great deal of wealth flows through A'midat Hiraql, the Pillars of Hercules. We should sponsor privateers to raid this shipping and steal this wealth for ourselves.
	The Khmer are weak from the sack of Angkor. We should take advantage and launch our own raid.
	We have grown rich from raiding Genoese merchant shipping, but we will become richer still if we sack the city itself.
	We have heard of a frozen land far to the north. Though we cannot fathom why, some among the pirates have resolved to raid its fishing towns and enslave their inhabitants. If we can muster the will to do so, we may as well indulge this idea.
	We have angered the merchants of Valencia greatly by interfering with their Mediterranean possessions. But we relish the ire of our Christian foes; let us burn Valencia to the ground!
	The city of Venice is the most prosperous trade hub in the Mediterranean. This means that it is ripe for plunder, so let us prepare an invasion!
	Some time ago, the armies of Genghis Khan lay waste to Ruthenia. Kiev was sacked and burned, a great power reduced to ash overnight. It is time for the Tatars to return to the fertile lands of the Dnieper.
	Once the armies of Genghis Khan laid waste to Ruthenia. Kiev was sacked and burned, a great power reduced to ash overnight. It is time for the Tatars to return to the fertile lands of the Dnieper.

	The Venetian Arsenal is a complex of shipyards and armory. This arsenal, while not the only one, is an important factor in Vencie's naval power in the Mediterranean.\nAnd we will raid it so we can "acquire" some of Venice's powerful ships and weapons.
	The Christians across the sea will be entirely unprepared for our attack. Let no ship go unharassed, and no fishing village go unplundered!
	Before we abandoned our gods, our people caused fear and terror in the hearts of these weak Christians. We raided their coasts and plundered their churches and temples. It is time to teach these heathens to fear us yet again!
	Our nation depends on raiding other more civilized nations in order to amass wealth and keep itself intact. Let us organize more of these raiding parties and bring more loot to the tribes.
	In the land of pyramids lies the Chichen Itza, the most renowned pyramid of the Mayans. By conquering it we can perform sacrifices there.
	Traditionally, the opposes any attempt of a standing army for the royal house. Instead, our our nation relies on the effort of militia, mercenaries and the levies of the the nobility. As the Hundred Years' War is going through its last phases and the Scots are posing a threat to our security, it is only natural that we must raise an army one way or another.
	Our Duchy may be of no significance as it's overshadowed by its neighbors. Nevertheless we must raise our armed forces in order to push for and protect our independence!
	We might be surrounded by the benevolent Livonian Order, but their most recent history gives us little confidence that they can defend us from the Scandinavians, the Russians or the Lithuanians. We must establish our own army which will keep our our nation safe.
	We have lived under the Burgundian banner for far too long. It is time for our people to rise up and seize control of our destiny for ourselves.
	In the aftermath of Varna, we have to recover the capabilites of our army, effectively raising our noble levies once again.
	Securing our houses is a significant improvement in the well-being of our people. The next step towards an invulnerable defense is protecting the whole village with a strong palisade.
	With Kedah under our control, we have a base from which to extend our influence throughout the Malay Archipelagos. Though the Cholas under Rajendra had great influence over the island lords, he never achieved direct rule over them. We shall exceed the accomplishments of the Chola by bringing the Malays entirely into our empire.
	Gaining the loyalty of Rajput nobility after we have conquered their ancestral homelands will likely involve making concessions to them. By granting the Rajput dynasties these lands as long as they serve us we will likely be able to ensure their loyalty for some time to come.
	The Rajput Trade guilds have always played an active part in the flow of goods through Northern India, but with the expansion of our state to control these routes they have an even greater role to fill. Let us empower the Rajput trading families and make use of the networks they have built up over the years.
	In the borderlands of Rajputana there are many Rajput estates owned by families loyal to our sultanate. Let us incorporate this region directly into our domain.

	Hordes to the East; a rising Poland to the West and an imperialistic Ottoman Empire in the South. Our enemies are many and our allies few. We must rally our troops if our nation is to survive the centuries to come.
	The Aq Qoyunlu, the White Sheep Turkomans, have always found strength in unity. As we look towards expanding our borders and face the challenges that await us, it is time once again to rally the Turkomans. We must rebuild our army, calling upon the courage and resilience of our people. The call to arms echoes across our lands - let the Turkomans rise, united in purpose, and ready to carve out our destiny.
	The Persian lands as well as the crown of the Shahanshah are ours. Now we must secure both of these so that no foreign power such as another Mongolian invasion or attack of the Turks can threaten the Persians again. The great warriors of Persia must be rallied under our banner!
	Although the Kalmar Union is de facto a real alliance between Denmark, Norway and Sweden, and bounded all three kingdoms to one single monarch, it was never really ratified by either of its members. It is time to change this, and convert this union into a tighter relationship between all of the Scandinavian Kingdoms.
	The rugged terrain that we inhabit has offered us as many dangers as advantages. With an ally like this, fortifying our own defenses will make them almost unassailable.
	The branch of the clerics and men of faith that mingle in court affairs is a most dangerous precedent to set. We must weed out their corrupt elements and assure their loyalty.
	Once a great church of the Orthodox faith, it is now in our religion control. Its original use as House of God for Orthodoxy is no longer adequate. Instead, it shall become a our religion temple with the our ruler as its protector.
	The spice trade flows through Aden, and it is one of the most coveted after trades in the world as both Muslims and Christians desire it for all the wealth it brings. Our position near Aden lets us have a stake in the spice trade, but that is not enough. We need to dominate the trade, we need to monopolize it into our clutches.
	While the Safi trade is bolstering our income, it can't hold with the potential profit the European market could make for us. Naturally, it is in our best interest to get access to one of their trade nodes.
	The distant ports of Malacca are said to hold untold riches and immeasurable opportunities for our merchants to get even more affluent.
	The Cape of Good Hope is the main stop for all merchants from Europe trying to travel to Asia and vice versa. Whoever controls the Cape will also control the European-Asian trade. Naturally, the Cape is highly contested by everyone who seeks dominance in matters of African-Asian trade.
	India has always seen a great flow of trade through it. We can't be left outside this wealth, we must also establish our presence in the Indian markets.
	While home sea is popular amongst merchants, it pales in comparison to the vast wealth the Mediterranean Sea enables. Wealth and treasures, which we have no access to! This must change now!
	Far away to the east, tales of islands where spices are abundant have made the rounds across markets from India to our nation. We must seize the opportunity and secure these lucrative sources of income.
	The Copts of the Horn of Africa are fierce and aggressive. Even with all of our military might, we will have little chance against the Ethiopians, who use the high ground against us. We need a strong ally for our cause.\nThe Mamluks might be such ally, but rumors tell about a rising Muslim empire, which will overshadow the Mamluks soon. These so called Turks are the people of that empire. We should try to reach them and see if we can achieve an alliance with them.
	Our venerable state is a bastion of patrician attitudes and progressive thought. We must maintain our traditions for the sake of our society's stability and the political strength of our government.
	Shipbuilding has progressed since the foundation of the first Reales Atarazanas in Sevilla and Barcelona in the 13th century. It would now be a good idea to increase the number of shipyards at our disposal, as our merchants also request it.
	Through our choices the army has evolved into a decentralized collection of native and foreign generals, holding mostly hereditary tracts of land, where they recruit from the local population and give lands to their most loyal soldiers.
	For far too long has our ancient religion laid dormant. It is time to rekindle the flame; to forge our our nation in the light of the Zoroastrianism!
	Java is littered with Candi temples, disgracefully allowed to fall into decay and disuse. We must set ourselves to the task of rebuilding and reclaiming these temples.
	Sadhuim was once the capital of a great Mon kingdom that ruled centuries ago. We should rebuild the city and restore it to its former glory.
	For many years, our capital city has endured hardship and deterioration caused by enemy invasions within our country. What once was a magnificent city, a jewel of the Caucasus, has now become a mere impoverished urban area. The responsibility lies with us to revive its former grandeur.
	Earthly matters require earthly means. To achieve our spiritual goals, we must strengthen our own finances.
