*Sigh* Why doesn't that surprise me? I could've sworn that, once upon a time, Oritolon was fairly good at war but maybe not!
Oh there was a time when Oritolon was a nasty little beast of war... But...that was a long time ago.
Before any Hendrix held the crown of Lukon... *everyone yawns knowing a boring history lesson is in the works* Lukons ruler was working to have alliances with Alebad and Alowca... But the priests had plans to destroy Oritolon and said that none of the lands from that realm would go to Lukon and in fact Lukon was not invited to fight in the war.
Lukons General....who happened to be a Hendrix....used the chance to talk the ruler of Lukon into changing sides and fighting WITH Oritolon not against them. Thus Lukon was thrust into the early wars of the Colonies on the side of Oritolon.
The priests (Alebad and Alowca) then joined up with Portion... The three realms signed a ceasefire with Oritolon and began to march through Portion to take out Lukon. So Oritolon came to help save us... Thus was born the strong connection between Lukon and Oritolon.
That connection has decayed much over the years... and so has Oritolons fighting ability. At least external fighting ability.
I miss that war. Portion, Wetham, Alebad, Alowca (and the ocasional raid by Outer Tilog) vs Lukon, Oritolon, Assassins...
I remember talking Giblot into attacking OT so that the raids would stop... paying Assassins to attack Portions walls, resulting in many Assassin deaths due to execution. The Assassins guild was never the same after that. Never feared as much again.
Good times.... good times...
