Reviving the South

[De-Legro]

So while the slow war continues in the North, the south looks to be suffering. I've heard that several realms are starting to have nobles question the boredom they are experiencing. Anyone got some ideas on how the southern realms can revive interest?

PoZ actually does something. I was ashamed to have achieved a double tournament victory while a knight of Batesaor when I heard that PoZ had pretty much no form of resistance to Arcaea's raid.

Thats not quite true. Having GA troops that were allied to Arcaea sit in regions to prevent battles was great resistance. Actually fielding an army that would stop Arcaea, well that might have been another option :)

There's a newly founded religion that has got some RP going on!  ;D

I think it just needs some vigour.  I dunno, the war to the North should export some of the more militaristic nobles of Arcachon south.

Really though, there is no reason anyone can't start an intrigue or a feud.  I mean, you don't really need a reason or logic, people just need to get over this idea that losing is something terrible.

(grins) And as soon as the nobles in Arcachon get over the idea that losing is terrible, we can get right on with that exporting.  All I ask is for someone to let Arcaea get enough sympathy in Enlod to colonize, then we can end this whole thing...

From what I've heard people in the south have painted themselves into a corner. To start a war many of the rulers would basically need to do something that goes against their established characters. There also doesn't seem to be a big enough dissident group in any of the realms to stage a take over and shake things up. What we need is for someone to just go insane and get things started.

Temporarily, yes, the south can't fight.  I'd lay heavy odds that Thain will jump at a chance to do so if he thinks he won't get annihilated, though...And if we can get the north sorted, then sooner or later Jenred'll give him one.

And I'm pretty sure Thain knows it, too.

Losing isn't terrible, but that doesn't mean they wont do their nut to prevent the worst from happening to their realm.

Indeed, indeed, I'm mostly joking (I say mostly because I'm not looking forward to the long slog).  Not being able to colonize was annoying, though.

As the only Solari on the continent, I have hereditary dibs!

Well if the Duke of Batesaor wanted to revive the old pirate realm, I'm certain a popular, trusted and skilled ambassador from Ohnar West would make her way back down to her old home... ;)

Would also be an excuse to check on the temple she left in Paplarmi, which has now been abandoned so I guess it's more "check the ruins of the temple she left in Paplarmi.

And the former knight who got a double victory in last year's Ohnar West full tournament while knight of Batesaor would go down there to swash some buckles. He even has 0 honor now to make sense in the party!

Aren't Pirates on the list of things Tom really doesn't want to see in the game?
