Astrum sent several expeditions south. One or two sat in Terran for a while then came home. One went farther and deserted. And another managed to actually take a region in Falkirk lands, then got attacked by Fissoan troops, and deserted
Iashalur was the only realm that hadn't already acknowledged the futility of sending troops south to fight Aurvandil, or damage OA in any way. There was simply nothing that we could do.
Well there was but it wasn't very exciting. We could have shifted troops from one realm to the other like the Atamara Triumvirate used to do. Eg. Farronite/Kabrinskia devotes most of its troops to the front, Astrum devotes equal troops to defending Farronite lands while their army is away and Iashalur devotes equal troops to defending Astrum.
A totally functional strategy, Caligan, Tara and Caerlia used to do it all the time, it's just not much fun for Astrum and Iashalur.
For the record we had acknowledged that it was useless. We were doing one last token expedition when the rebellion started.
