And sure, we lack a city... but Fheuvenem has been unblighted. We do plan on taking it back fairly soon, even if the Riombarans refuse to help.
Translation:
"Despite the fact that Midnight of the South is completely blocking the path between Riombara and Fheuvenem with the largest concentration of Daimons left on the continent, when Riombara doesn't come help us retake Fheuvenem, I will blame Riombara and claim that they're not refusing help because they're in league with Daimons."
