What makes a D'haran?

[Perth]

Wouldn't that be a Terran?

The last one, at least.

[Chenier]

A true Mariccodental realm.  8)

No, true nobles of Terran are ardent theocrats and followers of the Bloodstars.

There has never been a non-Astroist, non-theocratic noble of Terran.

I don't know what you're talking about.

We're an ancient and long-standing theocracy....

Haha yeah totally.  ::)

btw, what happened to the Moot? or is that a moot point? (sorry, couldn't resist)

[Vellos]

It still exists. But it looks now like basically the Moot is just D'Hara's tool for keeping Barca as their pacified rural hinterland.

[Chenier]

Barca hasn't exported anything of use in quite a while, save to the food sinkhole that is the Zuma.

No need to pacify a friend...

[Indirik]

Maybe not, but there is a continual need to *keep* them pacified.

The moot stopped being relevant when it was completely unable to defend itself.

[Chenier]

The 'moot still serves a purpose, even if it's not the institution it used to be.

I'm not sure when you place that time at: but I'd say the breakup of Terran was pretty much when the Moot's independent relevance as a continental player was shot.

The D'Hara/Barca alliance (and possible Phantarian connection) has regional significance. If Phantaria takes the Chateau and develops old north Terran, the Moot could become a real player again, with D'Hara its undisputed hegemon. But yeah, certainly now the Moot as an institution is basically irrelevant on a continental level.

A hegemon... Locally, maybe. But we've got big neighbors who don't like us much, so it's not like wae can just take the rest of our partners for granted.

That's pretty close. But even before then, it was pretty clear which way the wind was blowing.

Farronite Republic is yet another one of D'Hara's vassals. I thought everyone knew this by now?  ;D

Also, 1000 gold to whoever creates D'Hara's next banner! Come on, give us something to replace this fugly thing I've had to endure for all of these years!

[Feylonis]

Gold pls.

[Lefanis]

Gold pls.

Lol, that's awesome  ;D
