101 Ways to Destabalize the Northern Astroist Federation

[pcw27]

I have never in all my life seen someone so completely in denial...

How so?

Orthodox Astroism was left pretty much alone was it not? Other then a token declaration that it was "evil" the only one to attack it was Iashalur using a single infiltrator.

Yeah, and trying to reconquer our old capital brings a freaking Crusade. WTF?

Well your old capital is now an independent theocracy which the charter specifically obligates us to defend.

The "but it's not a theocracy yet" argument doesn't even apply anymore.

Don't get my wrong I've always thought Aurvandil is crusade worthy this whole time but it seems the logistics mess it up.

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.

Golden Farrow didn't need Astrum defending their lands... a single troop leader with a large archer unit could have cleared all monsters forever with no losses.

GF has a weak army anyway. At best it could have sent 10,000 CS to help out, which with a two week refit is basically useless.

Yeah. Now.

Also, from the sound of it you all worship the goddam charter more than you worship your stars. Are you theocracies or are you the flipping United Nations?

[Indirik]

10,000 cs is never useless.

[Gustav Kuriga]

Yeah. Now.

This.

[Vellos]

Yeah. Now.

Mess with the church and the church messes with you.

[Anaris]

There will be people in every religion who are very concerned with the letter of Church law, rather than the spirit of the faith.

Look at the Pharisees.

[Glaumring the Fox]

I am the law!!!  8)

[Penchant]

Yeah, and trying to reconquer our old capital brings a freaking Crusade. WTF?

New Light of the Maddening, who is the one who decides crusades. Rabisu is the old one while Medugnatos is the new one who I most certainly spelled wrong.

[Vellos]

We must preserve the secular power of the church in order to ensure the right and true order of the world.

[pcw27]

The Catholic Church,

that is all.

Fine get D'Hara and Terran into the mix then.
