Need I be an !@#$%^& every time?

I'm not really involved in BT affairs right now, and despite expecting Thalmarkin to win, I did not expect it this way.

Well you don't NEED to be...

So...what happened, exactly? Peace?

To add a bit more info to what's already been said: Melhed will give up all of Agyr duchy minus Tepmona for Thalmarkin to found a new realm in which will be a recreation of Ar Agyr.

And for anyone who thinks that might be an unreasonable capitulation, it's pretty much what the *dove* faction in Thalmarkin will settle for. The Hawks would've just kept going until the realm ceased to exist, with an inter-faction disagreement over whether to give Fronepu back to Fronen or keep it for ourselves.

The creation of Ar Agyr in roughly those lands was the exact goal for us at the start of this war.

We're not unreasonable, we just aim high. :)

Personally I'm very happy with the ceasefire - I'd have hated Melhed to be destroyed simply because it would have made the game more boring. This way we get a new realm on the scene and Melhed could quite easily bounce back to greatness in the future. It keeps the gamer much more dynamic and fun :)

Yeah Melhed can always take a bite out of Fronen. With their recent experience against the might of Thalmarkin it should be childsplay for them.
When Thalmarkans walked through the Sint land, castles went up for sale.

Thalmarkin steam-rolled Melhed's army in Bil Havil and scored a huge victory. Queen Maya sought a cease-fire with King Fingolfin to discuss terms of peace. Upon agreeing on a general framework, the cease fire was signed and it appears the armies are heading home, leaving the King and Queen to negotiate in Bil Havil.

Ah, ok, thanks. I don't have a character on Bel, but it's still interesting following what happens.

And there goes the prospect for peace. Melhed doesn't really understand what a crushing defeat means it seems.

Apparently not. Either that or they have self-respect. Hard to say.

Sigh. Good thing we had time to refit and pick up siege engines.

^ Perfect ^

Also, whose genius idea was it to drag Kalixta into a public debate for the realm's future? Maya must be HATING that person right now...  ::)
