A surprising message has arrived from Rome, addressed directly to our Ottomans Ruler Title. In the letter, the Rome Ruler Title proposes a radical offer: if we agree to convert to Catholicism, the Catholic Church will officially recognize us as the rightful Emperors of Rome. This would bring an end to the bitter conflict with Christendom and, in theory, unite our realms under a single faith. Most see this as a cunning move to subvert our empire from within, while there are some who view it as a unique opportunity to consolidate power across Europe. Our advisors regard this proposal as insanity, and agreeing to it would likely lead to internal unrest of unimaginable scale.

In return, the Pope promised Mehmed Papal blessings, recognition as the legitimate ruler of Christian lands he controlled, and support in his future endeavors. The letter was, however, never delivered to the Sultan, and was likely only circulated among Christians in Europe.
