Notice By order of the Regent no armed men save those directly in the service of the Imperator shall be allowed within the walls of East Anglia.  This includes caravan guards and vassal armies.  All merchants entering the city should expect to be searched prior to being granted admittance. Caravan guards will be allowed to camp outside of the city, but any lord showing up with excessive forces (more than 1 unit) will be denied the privilege of trading in the city.  The Regent thanks you for your cooperation and hopes you have a nice day.
