A Decree By Genghis Khan
To Be Spread by Merchants, Travelers, Nomads, Priests, Monks, and Other Travellers

All lands ruled in my name will be open and tolerant to people of all faiths, as long as they are peaceable people. While it is my belief that there is but one God who created all and gives all, there are others who believe in many gods or no god at all. This does not make them bad or corrupt people. Any man who kills or harasses another because of his religion will be punished with death himself. Further, any follower of Daoism, Buddhism, Islam, or Christianity who swears his allegiance to the Mongol Empire will be exempt from all taxes for the first five years after his oath is heard. May they continue to pray for our well being and continued success and the failure of our enemies.

A Decree By Genghis Khan

Prince Uthman of the Karakhanids has been received at my court. After speaking with Prince Uthman and praying on his plea, I have decided to welcome him into my court as a friend and companion as I would any other honest man of the tent. He is good and loyal and will serve our great Empire well.

It is my belief, and the belief of my advisors, that welcoming Prince Uthman into my court is not a violation of the pact between myself and Emperor Kuchlug of the Qara Khitai because there is no subversive or deceitful intent behind my welcoming Prince Uthman. I am simpling extending the benefits of friendship to a man of the tent, a wanderer, a traveler, a man seeking shelter and comfort. What Khan would not extend such kindness?
