And remaining 'moot realms will write the history for Terran with total disregard of whatever anyone else says.

Tends to be the way of BM. While the "winners" write history in BM, so to do the losers, and neither pays much attention to the other.

Both sides can write whatever they want. The fact is is that realms rise and fall. It is how it should be.

It doesnt really matter does it? Terran is dead and Asylon now writes the history.
It seems you don't understand the quote you are trying to localize to this particular situtation. "The victors write history" is a dumb thing to say IMO with relation to Battlemaster, because in real life the losers were dead or lacking power to write history. In BM, even if they are dead they can edit the wiki but considering death is only optional (deleting characters) except for hero's, they can still counter anything IG so long as they hear about it, which applied before the conflict as well thus being victor in BM has no effects on who writes history.

Trivia:

The peak of Dwilight's population before this war was 2.4 million.

Population has now declined to 2.3 or 2.35 million.

Thus, the minimum civilian death toll for this war is about 50,000 (I saw minimum because some regions have probably grown).

That's not including battle deaths, which are probably some thousands more.

Not sure how that compares to Medieval European wars in scale. Anybody know?

Sounds about right. How long has this war gone on now barely 3 or 4 months perhaps? By the time a year rolls by then it is a war. Right now is the beginnings a few battles. The war is only just beginning.

Who cares? Our side won. Terran is dead. I care not where their nobility scattered, their lands are salted and now the Phantarians rule there and they have more honour than all of Terran.

The first post on this thread was on June 26th, so that's 121 days, or 1.44 Dwilight years.
After all it's a roleplaying game.

In general, only members of Asylon will pay any attention to the History they write.

This is more than enough :)
Now with the Skovgaard Family... and it's gone.

Well, what about the war down south? The general of Luria sure is decked out.

Fissoa just declared war against Luria, and D'Hara managed to successfully defend Qubel.
