The Adventures of Robert Shirley
Globetrotter and charm offensive maestro Robert Shirley has put forth the idea that he should lead a diplomatic envoy to the Far East. The primary goal of this endeavor is to bring about modernization and enhancement of the military forces of the Persian army. The fledgling empire is facing a formidable neighbor in the form of the Ottomans, an empire that also poses a significant threat to our European neighbors.
In return, we may press for favorable trade privileges and work towards establishing a regional presence for our merchants.
