The rest of the Island isn't fighting a war - a few missed bonds isn't going to destroy D'Hara.
3000gp missing from Madina Coffers? That's a whole nother issue especially when you consider that Madina supports 1/3 of our nobles - they lose their units because of having -150 gp in bonds cause we can't send them money to pay. . . significantly different outcome than if we were bumming around fighting monsters like the rest of the Continent.
Excuse me?
A few missed taxes up here in PeL have actually caused us a significant problem - for starters it gave the Hordes 3 of our regions!
Now to you that might be Bumming around, but to some of us it IS a war until we can get into a situation where we can go off wasting our gold against other humans.
You have no idea how bad a situation PeL (and to extent LN) is actually in considerations of its geography.
Madina is fighting one little petty war that will blow over soon and again their will be peace in Madina.
Luria on the other hand faces Spawn Points of the Divide Mountains, Palm Sea, Desert of Silhouettes and Axewild, the area of Sallowtown, the Flow Penisular, etc. Its a constant struggle.
By rights all it would take is for the over 20k CS hordes to break through our barriers (which they have done somewhat) and unite in Askileon Purliues to take out Askileon itself.
Madina on the other hand: The Duke frakked up as did a few bugs - so Human error, all they need to do is hold the Tower. They dont have 20k + sitting on their borders (and in) that has multiple access points.
Yes, Luria has it far worse than silly Madina. And if you want to get technical, D'hara through sheer human arrogance has it much worse than the rest of the continent combined! Specially if they were to lose all those Food suppliers
