What was on the scout reports?

What was on the scout reports?

One little two little three Khalkar unit names,
Four little five little six Khalkar unit names,
Seven little eight little nine Khalkar unit names,

Basically Westfold army mobile

We were just playing around! I swear!

[Chenier]

But... how big was it?

[JDodger]

We really should crush Morek given that on EC Nivemus is invading OI when they were a victim of the same multiplague. But we won't. It does render all the complaining/fate-bemoaning rather hollow though.

[DeVerci]

Go for it 

[Konrad]

What's a warleader without a war?

[JDodger]

The real question is, what's a war without a Warleader?

[Graeth]

Morek taking the battle out of battlemaster.

[Chenier]

Pfff, Morek is a non-entity. Just go attack Astrum already and stop putting the blame on others.

[Ketchum]

But... how big was it?

Very big, enough to defeat Morek current army. By "current army", I mean after that plague that killed many of Morek nobles.

Let just separate IC and OOC, shall we? As on EC, OI ruler never say anything about plague struck their nobles IC. OOC we know but that OOC multiaccount character caused Nivemus loss of Kazakh city. So to say Nivemus is nice and all good with OI relations and won't attack OI, you are putting it wrong.

Morek taking the battle out of battlemaster.

Do excuse me as the plague killed half of the Morek army. As its ruler, I have to do the best decision for the realm and it is never an easy one.

That's... contradictory. "Very big" is hardly required to defeat Morek's post-lock army... Morek and Arnor are tied for the continent's third weakest nations.

Why are people so timid to share any actual numbers about things that happened now a while ago and which were common knowledge for anyone for which it would matter?

Hmm, let see. The war period had Morek army stood at 7K CS-8K CS, able to match up to HD army. Westfold we can see from military statistics report stood at around 9K CS - 10K CS. If war-period Morek army was to fight Westfold one to one, both sides should have a balanced war without other realms joining in. However at current post-war-period Morek army, that was down half if you count the nobles number which have been reduced pretty much in Morek realm. Elsewhere other realm maybe lost 1 or 2 nobles due to multi account, which may come out to 1K CS for a high-honor noble or 500 CS for new noble. So if Westfold at its current strength still unchanged versus Morek post-war-period, Morek will lose and lose very badly. Morek will lose what it gained during the war with HD, Zhongyuan, Linhai and even Cailyn. I am looking realistically given the information I have as you may see now.

[Chenier]

Well yea, Morek was a tiny realm before the locks, now it's pretty insignificant military-wise. It's more akin to pre-WW1 Serbia. You don't expect them to crush anyone's army, but they are surrounded by powers just itching for a fight.

Morek might or might not recover, but there's very little left standing, a bunch of flags on rotten poles. So I'm not sure where Graeth is coming from to place any blame for any future events on Morek. Westfold, Astrum, and Luria are just looking for excuses to fight each other, and have already given each other plenty. About time they stop their "holier than thou" posture and just act on their thinly-veiled ambitions.

[Nosferatus]

Interesting plague that kills only those of noble blood instantly and only in a specific realm...
So it spreads real quick for a very short time or something?

Whats wrong with punishment from the gods? or black magic?
Its always fun to execute someone for it, put all the blame on that one person, that's what we humans do when tragedy strikes, offer a scapegoat.
Who knows, if you don't the problem will return?
Just crucify someone!
