Though they currently lack forces, the settlers of that island will have a military soon. And I think expanding the Order of Icthus’s responsibilities could provide support and protection to pilgrims.
Just because the Knights do not have power today, does not mean it won’t have power tomorrow with their own arms. And if we delay in this, the next Imperial Diet might be too late.

The proposal from the Lord of Gewisse is noted. I have a solution that might help the Pilgrims. I propose the following law: Law of Pilgrim Protection 1. As an addendum to the founding charter of the The Order of the I Icthus, the knights are granted the additional power of being able to provide escort of pilgrims towards and in the Holy Land. 2. The Order of Icthus may charge reasonable fees for providing protection and guidance for pilgrims to and in the Holy Land. They may also provide this service for free as their Order leadership decides. This type of law uses the resources we have worked so hard to establish, while also falling short of of a large overseas commitment for the United realms of the Diet. I second this proposal. I also pledge 100 Heavy Infantry to be on loan to the Order of the Icthus for them to perform some of the mandates given to them by this Diet, until such time they can muster their own forces.

With a possible resolution to be voted on seconded, we can move on to the next topic.
The election of a new Lord-Speaker. We can have lords declare their candidacy and we vote this day for a new speaker or we propose the election for the next Diet with candidates announced this Diet.

Allectus would confer with his advisor for a moment then stand to speak.
Gentlemen, Lords, and Nobles,
It would be an honor to become the next Speaker of this august and sacred institution.
For 10 years we have successfully worked together to end conflicts, resolve our differences and come to a better understanding with one another.
I wish to continue that tradition of camaraderie and respect among those in attendance, be it feudal lord or republican ruler.
Before God, we are all equals who he has elevated to our positions of power, trust and command.
I would continue to ensure this Diet serves the interests of its members.
And with that, I announce my intent to be elected as your next Speaker.
Thank you.
Allectus would then sit back down.

Lord-Speaker Trajan Evander motions for a scribe to enter Consul Allectus de Gallia into the record as a candidate. He then gathers up his cloak, which like his boots, is a bit too large for him.
Fellow Rulers, I, Lord-Archon Trajan Evander, is also presenting himself once again for candidacy for the responsibility of Lord-Speaker. I will retain my oaths as before - I shall not vote unless it is a necessary to end a tie ballot.
I need not make other promises, as you have seen my leaderships these many years. Through wars, passage of laws, and communal crisis. I believe our combined success in these halls speaks for itself.

If all who desire it have put their name forward, we would ask the Speaker to commence the vote. And, for the record, King Percy has no wish to run for the position.

Very well.
As my final proposal before voting begins, I propose that after tallying of votes for the other laws presented, the current session of the Imperial Diet comes to an end.
May I have a second?
