Don't tell wether Aurvandil gets aid, though. I consider that IC information, and I'd rather not know OOC 
I've often wondered where this perception comes from. Hireshmont does personally fund quite a few things in quite a few nations, but the idea that he would be personally financing Aurvandil or Madina is laughable to anyone in the Moot... and the number of people willing and able to put the effort into foreign aid of any meaningful scale is... very few. Labell might, but doesn't care enough about the south. Fyodor and O'domus... no way. The D'Haran dukes might be willing, but their gold all goes to buying food. And I find the idea of Farsil funding foreigners equally amusing.
