What makes a D'haran in your eyes?/How do you see D'harans in general as. It's a semi-OOC conversation going on in game but I think it is easier when you are foreigner as its just, what do I think when I think of a D'haran. Examples being
QuoteAurvandilians are generally arrogant, condescending ethnocentrics
QuoteLurian's are vengeful, backstabbing vipers, but can organize fairly quickly toward a common goal for a time.
And simply,
QuoteBarcans are, well, quiet.
Lastly, if you don't like the descriptions, too bad it's just what another player said not me, and its his honest thoughts.

I think of wealthy fat weasels. Not being rude, but they sit on their islands hoarding massive riches and are sneaky and rat-faced ;)

Why sneaky?

They preached friendship with Luria, but plotted an invasion simultaneously... That's not exactly up-standing or up-front behaviour.

Like Luria never plotted an invasion of D'Hara ;) It was subject number two in D'Hara in my time, right after 'Where has all the food gone?' ;D

Plan A: Befriend Lurias
Plan B: Invade Lurias

Sounds like responsible planning, imo.

I'm in no way defending Luria and the reputation it's acquired. I'm merely pointing out my character's view of Dhara.

Befriend those you can, kill those you can't has pretty much been Machiavel's creed since he joined Dwilight... :P

No worries, was just having some lighthearted fun as well :)

IC I have heard it was merely D'hara considering aiding Fissoa and no serious plans for war, OOC I don't know the truth.

I don't think I was there when these events happened, but in my days, we were always planning friendships and conflicts simultaneously.

Opportunistic merchants is definitely how I'd stereotype D'harans.
