Oh, we haven't forgotten in Madina either. Don't worry. As for Nightling - I suspect she's a sore spot, especially since her brother/sibling (whoever it was the player repaced her with) ran off with a substantial amount of gold and goods from Madina just after the Rebellion. However, Paisly is safe in the sense that it's hard to assault
Oh, yes, the burning of your Southern Rurals. That WAS rather fun. . .I seriously think that's the last time there was a war in the South.
Indeed, the food issue is becoming rather interesting. Given the number of realms requesting food it seems to be a massive issue in the South.
As for our wonderfully convoluted system of government - the Doge is a representative for everyone, if it's worth the Republics time it really is him who has do to the courting (or at least, convince him it's worth the time). Otherwise the Dukes have to convince their Lords of the usefulness of the matter. Really it's just like any other Realm - except, that if we want to get something done we have to convince the Lords. Just provide a reasonably decent motive, and usually threats are the way (though, money in Madina does lend ears).
