They all made it to Terran pretty easily during the Aurvandil wars. Kale knows this first had as he was head of the Allied coordination between 'Moot and Astrocracies, which the primary reason he knew there wasn't much chance of fighting it out: he has literally helped coordinate the arrival of Astrocratic armies into Terran before.

The line seems to be somewhere around Paisly, really.

I believe we call that the Paisly Triangle.

Gretchew would hardly make the difference if we were ever in a position to be able to annex Terran. That's not the motivation. Terran will always have the obligatory defense of the Astrocracies anyways, right? Charter and all that? Phantaria will never be in a position to war Terran ever again.

Besides, a theocratic city-state would be awesome.

Who said either of you get Gretchew?  >:(

lol.

Yeah, Hireshmont thinks Kale is being rather naive about D'Haran ambitions.

Yes, a city state is what I want. A city state that includes Gretchew and, if Hireshmont can find a way to swing it, Vashgew too.

Hireshmont is not about to trust a piece of paper. He trusted the Treaty of the Maroccidens as well and then, when Terran had secessions, D'hara and Barca abandoned Terran. Yeah, Hireshmont is not going to just hand over the food security of Chateau Saffalore to Phantaria, a realm that literally just tried to destroy Terran.

Well, it's that or trust it to Saffalore, D'Hara, Asylon, or the Farronite Republic, none of whom are exactly "friendly" towards Terran anymore...

Um, no?

Gretchew and Saffalore and full production can feed the Chateau, or close to it.

Hireshmont seems to think that a lot about Kale...

Go away, D'Hara. Chesney isn't a coastal city it'll confuse you!

All lands south of Terran are ours! OURS! MY PRECIOUS RURALS!

Terran can have Vagshew for all I care, though.  8)

I think the bigger thing for Niselur at the moment is that will they even go to Terran in the first place? Not likely it seems.
They'll be there at sunset. I will, anyway  ::)

They will be the exact same drain on food in Saffalore-town that they are in Chateau. Unless you're just buying food for the city and letting the townsland starve, which is a hell of a way to run a realm.

... Did we conquer Saffalore already? I thought it was rogue... It'll starve one way or anther, may as well conquer it and make it ours and try to rebuild it.
