Umm, Astrum has a large militia force. They do not have a large active army. This has always been the case. Astrum is a realm of gold collectors, they are fat and bored, complacent. Asylon is a realm of hungry sleek killing machines surrounded by hostile enemies, hated by all. We are the panther in the jungle. Astrum is a chubby little sow in its pen. Astrums allies are very far away and Asylon does not fear a living soul. We are ready to take on the entire world!
You forget the original bloodlusting barbarians on dwilight, the Toren, still live in Astrumese lands
Karibash will have a hell of a time when he meets you. Please don't try to duel him
