They have tried going down south to get rid of TMP. The travel times are horrible though and there aren't many monsters spawning south of them for some reason. Possibly because Corsanctum is hunting them to get rid of TMP as well.
Interesting.Now that I look at it closely, seems like Fissoa, Terran, Morek, D'Hara, Corsanctum, and Summerdale all decline about the same time, while Aurvandil, Madina, and Pian en Luries all rise across the same time. Curious.
Just looking at the 'realm list', to see that Barca has exceeded Summerdale and Libero Empire in noble count, however they do have more regions.That raises the question, how does a realm of 11 nobles keep 11 regions maintained?
With the new estate system that should be pretty trivial, and EVERYBODY GETS TO BE A LORD. Not optimal in terms of gold maybe. I know several realms have discussed having no knights in Rural regions in order to expand the regions they can hold.
Terran is moving that direction.But that type of realm, in the long-run, I think is mostly a Dwilight anomaly.
Feels like a dying continent now, sadly.
