Agreed though, to be honest, I sense realm wars on the horizon!
It's a funny thing; as rogue lands run out in the Maroccidens, realm v. realm conflict has been heating up. But I don't, currently, see it spilling over into any wars. All of the Moot realms have internal excitement (Terran is probably the calmest right now), and various foreign issues that could imagineably lead to war but, as discussed elsewhere, they probably won't. The costs of war with Astrum's colony, with the Lurias, or in the southern war are just so damn high compared to the benefits. War with Astrum would be pointless, as Terran has never had any interest in any lands except Demyansk, and it just isn't that valuable of a prize. War with Asylon is laughable– we are trying frantically to prop them up and help them, not fight them. War with the Lurias would be like the Madina/Aurvandil war, except even more boring, with an even longer maritime assault route. And the Lurias have nothing we want. Involvement in the south is a possibility, but the only real motive would be if one of them posed a genuine threat to Barca or D'Hara's safety. Neither do. Food and trade concerns are huge, but don't seem likely right now to find resolution in war: rather, they will slowly be resolved by rising Barcan productivity.
