Hurray. Congrats on killing one of the most active and populous realms of Dwilight, a realm that was probably the one thing keeping many of the players interested in the game. Surely something to be celebrated with as much pomp as can be mustered.
Well, let's be honest here. Asylon enjoyed beating up on Astrum for quite a long time with relative impunity. Working with your Niselurian comrades, you very nearly destroyed what was once one of the most powerful kingdoms in Dwilight. We all got !@#$ed when the monster hordes invaded, only we had allies in he east we could work with of an exit strategy and Asylon did not.
I really don't understand why Astrum/Morek didn't toy with Asylon for a while. They immediately went for the kill. They could have bottled Asylon in Unterstrom and a rural or two and had jolly good war for years to come.
If you had just been forced to leave your house, and the new house you're moving into already has squatters sitting in it (armed with swords), do you toy with them? Or do you clean house? This was a different kind of war than the others because we were fighting over the same piece of land to make our home, rather than exchanging border regions that were expendable.
As a warrior and a general my duty is to kill the enemy, period. Mission Accomplished.
Also, Asylon still lives on. They've already reclaimed two rurals south of the Desert of Sillouettes. The Bear rises again...
