A Treaty of Humiliation

Currently, a meeting was taking place in the Novgorod Republic. The Byzantine Emperor and the Pope were sitting across from one another with stern expressions on their faces. Neither of the two men wanted to end the war so soon, especially when they both had not completed their full objectives.

On the Crusader's side, they desired to expand into Anatolia and Egypt. They now had the means to push back the Byzantines and seize most of their territory, however recent events caused them to halt these plans, and turn their sights on the true enemy of the Church which sat in the center of Europe. 

Whereas the Byzantine Emperor desired to regain all the ground that was lost. However, he lacked the means to do so now that the crusaders were equipped with weapons that were equal to, if not superior, to his own. Ultimately, he was forced to the negotiating table by the doves in his court.
