Description
Upon arrival in western Georgia, the Turks, along with the Circassians, sold the local population into slavery. A church council in 1533, convened under Bagrat III, ruled that anyone found guilty of capturing and selling slaves would be subject to the death penalty. It was not very easy to implement this decree in the conditions when the system of tawadis' estates prevailed. While the council's orders were implemented under Bagrat, slavery became more widespread after his death.Actions

Description
With the Ottomans in the ascendant, western Georgia disintegrated. Gurieli of Guria and Dadiani of Mingrelia were at each other's throats, fighting a devastating civil war. It began when Mamia Dadiani and Giorgi Gurieli jostled for power. In 1583, King Giorgi II of Imeretia imprisoned his brother Konstantine and nephew Rostom, who both threatened to disinherit Giorgi's twelve-year-old heir Levan. When the king died three years later, the crowned Levan was forced to marry Mamia Dadiani's daughter Marekhi. Guria and Mingrelia enlisted Imeretia's nobles in their quarrel. In 1590 Mamia Dadiani attacked Kutaisi and imprisoned the king in Shkhepi castle, where he died. Mamia then installed Levan's cousin Rostom on the throne. Although the Ottomans did not invade Imeretia, Imeretia's anarchy worsened when King Simon invaded to unify Georgia. Rostom sought refuge in Mingrelia. Manuchar Dadiani sent Simon an offer of 'peace and submission' to a united Georgia 'as in the days of Davit the Builder', but Simon insisted on Rostom being surrendered. The joint Kartlian-Imeretian army abhorred such ruthless means of achieving unity: they told Dadiani that if attacked they would simply flee, and, when attacked at first light, most of Simon's army melted away. The Kartlians had to withdraw and recognise King Rostom, despite his being Manuchar Dadiani's puppet.Actions

Description
In the 18th century, Imeretia was heavily dependent on the Turks. Ottoman penetration of western Georgia had destroyed trade, institutions, morals and political cohesion. The rise of Kartli-Kakheti elevated the ruler of Imereti, Solomon, to liberation from the Turkish and noble yoke. He carried out the necessary reforms to revive the church and agriculture. The prohibition of slavery spurred the Ottomans into action. The Battle of Khresili of 14 December 1757 resurrected Imeretia: it ended, albeit at a heavy cost to the Imeretians and Mingrelians, with Abashidze's and Rostom's men changing sides and the slaughter of the Ottoman army. This victory allowed Solomon to pursue his own independent policy.Actions

Action A of 400000 - Abkhazia hails Bagrat VI for AbkhaziaDescription
When Georgia broke apart, Imereti, the westernmost of the three successor Kingdoms, inherited georgian overlordship over the various mountain tribes like the Mingrels, Svans, Gurians and Abkhazians. This would prove fatal in the future, as the mighty princes of these tribes were eager to size the crown when the crown weakened.Actions
