Terran is a pretty hip place.  Its the San Fransisco of Dwilight.

Asylon is Seattle. 8)

So Morek Empire is Russia, Astrum is China and SA is Communism :P

I guess that makes Caerwyn early-20th century Italy.

Then Thulsoma was North Korea: they are insular, small yet dangerous, took the playbook from their neighbors and completely corrupted its meaning, and their ruler is a complete nutjob.
After all it's a roleplaying game.

It's true. Terran is like the little down town hole-in-the-wall venue on Dwilight where that One-Band-With-Acoustic-Guitars-That-Of-Course-No-One-Else-Has-Heard-Of-Before is playing and we're the horn-rimmed glasses, skinny jeans, and deep V wearing Nobles who populate it.

Oh God. Is this seriously how we are perceived?

I am embarrassed. I see Terran as a conservative, reactionary, militaristic, aristocratic republic. More like the British colonial regime of India than a hipster dive.

Well, yes, we are.

We only mean hip by we're awesome and successful so people want to come to our realm!

Terran is gonna become a very interesting place if a whole bunch of Anti-SA'ers arrive, given that Terran is pretty pro-SA for a Southern Realm.   I can't see that going over. . .smoothly.

Nor can I. I was intending to step down from my ducal post soon. If a bunch of anti-SAers show up, I may have to hang around for longer, to ensure they get pushed out of the realm, moderated, or kept from political power.

But, if you do that, then who will Allison's new SA theocracy in Golden Farrow fight? Someone has to step up and volunteer to be our next target.

Oh, that would be a lot of fun intra-realm intrigue.    Pity were way to far south for it. . but hey.   If Terran's busy with its own problems Madina can do what we want >.>

It would be a shame if Terran changed its spots and turned against the Church. Of course, being neighbors with Allison is generally an excellent way to contract anti-SA disease. I don't envy Terran that challenge in the event that her dreams of a colony in GF come to pass.

Allison is like the pit-bull of SA, but she isn't completely crazy, just mostly crazy.   Besides, nobles she likes are in positions of authority in Terran.  Rebuilding GF from the ashes it will be in when I finally do get it will take a /long/ time. 

Expanding the faith is always a goal for her though.  So she will be a slightly nosy neighbor.

Actually, if you're considered that Hyperion is an anti-SAist, you are incorrect. He was pro-war and only used you guys as en excuse to get Caerwyn to get rid of that stupid Too Much Peace feature, even though it was reduced.

Now I'm mainly off to Terran because supposedly the work together pretty well, which rarely happens in Caerwyn anymore. Since I was High Magistrate and I've announced I am leaving, there are about 5 or more candidates running for High Magistrate. It's great to see I had such a strong hold on m position and then people flock when it opens up.  8)

Anywas, I look forward to working with Vellos and Raz in Terran along with whoever else is there. And go hunting in Barca! Excited to join a  completely new crowd considering it's Dwilight.
