Speaking of which, you totally should start a war of reunification now.

We could, though it would be more profitable for you to come to us with a friendly face and negotiate for our food surplus.

Didn't the Zuma comment that D'Hara had a reputation of revolts (Due all the starvations) instead of rebellions? :-[

Shame on you! :P

That wasn't my impressions, but might be the case.

So hows the empire thing going? Are Aetheris Pyrism/Manifest Path antagonisms causing any problems?

We're assuming you may be having some problems since we have haven't received death threats down here in Fissoa for quite a while now.  :P  :P  :P

Our ruler was just to busy to make them, no worries, spring is here now ;p AP and MP go well enough along to not prevent the creation of the empire. The empire...that will just cost time.

Well, Koli wants to have the MP be the only official religion of the Lurias, and that means both Pian en Luries and Luria Nova. But as there are, afaik, 8 members of the MP and 14 of AP in Luria Nova, such proposal, whenever is made public, will have some heavy opposition over this side of the sea.

Torpius proposes to have both religions as 'Lurian Religions', but so far Koli has no reason to accept it.

[Indirik]

Threaten to revolt. :P

[Bedwyr]

Threaten to revolt. :P

He can't, really.  If he pulls anything that Koli can even semi-legitimately claim is against the greater good of humanity (like causing needless civil dissension) then a week later there won't be any AP lords in Luria Nova.  Koli has no reason to help AP, but he also has no reason to let them get away with anything, and he does have the skilled Priests and peasant majorities across Luria Nova to make it stick.

That said, Koli's not inclined to do that for various reasons, so as long as Torpius doesn't get any more hostile than he has been, I don't see any real hostilities between the religions arising.

[Indirik]

He can't, really.

Why not? He has, supposedly, 14 noble followers in LN. You could easily pull off a successful rebellion with 14 nobles, with some careful planning. And banning 14 of your 42 nobles would be a rather large blow to Luria Nova. Maybe Koli would be willing to try and have 1/3rd of his nobility banished, but maybe not.

But anyway, I wasn't really expecting that he would rebel. But then again, you guys haven't had a rebellion in a few months. Someone has to scratch the itch.  ;D

Couldn't make it stick for a lot of reasons.  One of them being that Torpius keeps overinterpreting everything everyone else says, which will be a problem for him if he tries to make trouble.  For instance, the bit about Koli trying to make the Manifest Path the sole religion of Luria.  There is a large difference between saying he would like that to be so but thinks it unlikely to happen and actually trying to force that kind of change.

At this point, Koli's figuring that if nothing changes, AP will be marginalized and either be a non-entity or die out completely, whereas tMP is continuing to grow at a respectable rate, and should go a lot faster once matters are settled enough that a diplomatic/religious mission can be sent out.

[Indirik]

Why, that's an outright declaration of the morale superiority of tMP, and an endorsement for the banishment of all other faiths from all of Dwilight! No wonder he wants to rebel and take control of Luria Nova. He has to protect his faith from such obvious and outright threats.

[JPierreD]

LOL, Indirik.  ::)

Actually, I have the same feeling about AP. Given the current growth-rate, I don't really think the status quo would benefit tMP as much as AP. But we can only see our own growths, so meh. We'll see what happens in the end.

[Ramiel]

Not to mention tMP could have a schism in the future if bad things start to happen. Though killing Heretics is never a bad thing.

You're the tMP fundamentalist right? Hows that working out?  8)

Me? A Fundie? Not for Koli's tMP.... :)

Well, this promises fun.. perhaps Fulco should just convert to SA to make it really interesting..
