Sanguis Astroism

[Indirik]

Not taking office is not the same as not craving power. Allison always had to have her way. She had to be in the lead. If she wasn't, then she was building roadblocks. As soon as it became obvious that a group of elders was in place that was no longer willing to take her crap, and that she had lost almost all influence with the membership, she bailed. I'm really curious to see what's going to happen with her in the south. This could turn out very interesting.

And me and Solari will have a side conversation about the interplay between ideas of "power" and "influence."

Thank you, Daycryn, for your informative presentation on the socio-political dynamics of Bizzaro World.

Oh you're most welcome!

So. "Orthodox Astroism," with Allison as proclaimed Prophet.

Not to say I told you so, but I told you so. Neener.

[Indirik]

Mrh? Are you trying to imply that someone didn't see this coming? I suppose perhaps some pig herder in the Lurias may not have known...

So does that mean you will finally declare a crusade?

Good luck with that. Aurvandil is located too south for SA realms. I bet most units will desert before they even have their first battle.

Lurian pig herders saw this one coming.

We've been working on solutions to that and doing trial-runs for some time.

In any case, crusade does not equal sending troops from the north. A crusade can be called, but fought by marrocidenese mercenaries.

[Gustav Kuriga]

In any case, crusade does not equal sending troops down north. A crusade can be called, but fought by marrocidenese mercenaries.

I'm sure you meant down south...

[dustole]

At some point the North will realize that Aurvandil is not a threat to them and look towards the realms that can actually do them harm.   Astrum lost Golden Farrow from their fold.  They just might not have realized it yet.

[Nosferatus]

Chenier keeps sugesting to just put gold into D'hara and Terran.
But if the SA has already plenty of Gold stacked up then wouldnt it be better to just colonize a piece of land with plenty of inhabitants like chesney duchy, go there with 30 nobles and 50k gold and just launch wave after wave.
Terran would have to give up some land but we all know SA could do more with it in this war.
The European christians also had to settle in the cities they took to effectively fight to conquer the holy lands.

[Norrel]

Yaay! Finally SA schisms. Hopefully this trend continues and we end up with an interesting north for the first time in forever. What's the point of a massive hegemonic religion if it doesn't descend into heresy and infighting?

[Lefanis]

Yaay! Finally SA schisms.

Always thought it would be different... Like, big and grand. This is rather tame.
