How can anyone on Dwilight in its current state not draw in everyone elses allies?
If you had been paying attention, you would have noticed that Terran did it. And they did a damn good job of it. Maybe you could walk hat in hand to Vellos and ask him, politely, how he did it, instead of just insulting him at every opportunity.

The thing I noticed most on this forum is how quick you all are to take fake umbrage or insult to absolutely everything I say, like its just all so shocking and insulting.

Well, I can't speak for everyone, but when I take umbrage, it's never fake. Or if it is, it should be pretty obvious from the sarcastic tone and/or smilies.

I speak truths and if speaking the truth hurts maybe the pinch of reality is too much for most of you.

Half the time, what you say doesn't qualify as truth, but can't even be called lies because it's too ridiculous. It just doesn't have any connection with reality.

If anybody would like to make any job offers to Hireshmont, he's accepting them!

There are ways to survive and thrive on Dwilight. One of them is to not get a repuatation for being an erratic maniac who spits in the eye of everyone with any kind of influence and a persecution complex. If you go about denouncing two thirds of the continent, you deserve what you get. When you ally with the realm that EVERYONE ELSE HATES AND WANTS TO DESTROY there should be no question when EVERYONE comes down on you for taking sides. It would be like if Mussolini had survived WWII and found himself wondering why nobody likes him for allying with Hitler.

Alanna wouldn't object to Hireshmont showing up.

It's not impossible she should—but she wouldn't. She'd see it as an opportunity—for interesting conversations, if nothing else.

So many good options these days.

I wish I could have four Hireshmonts for Dwilight. Honestly, the fall of Terran is opening up all kinds of exciting new possibilities.

Since the start of year 23 here are the events that have happened so far that I know of:

1. Fissoa assaulted the city of Madina but was repelled by Falkirk.
2. Sevastian Guile changed the allegiance of Sol (balance's retreat & North divides) to Luria Nova before his death from lung failure.

Any that have happened elsewhere?

Our war? I thought it was your war on us... but who cares about such details? ;).

BUT, we got peace with Niselur, Astrum and Morek. Corsanctum are still at war with us.

Asylon gave casus bell it Astrum after it (Asylon) declared war against Terran. Astrum only responded as an ally, not an aggressor.

There is a saying in swedish which goes "God punishes some right away". Sevastian changed his duchy and right away he got lung cancer and died. The action was not endorsed by God ;D
