Wait, wait, wait. Luria Nova is an underdog? Since when? Since having almost double nobles than any other realm on Dwilight?

Seriously, the most arrogant and imperialistic realm, who had had the largest number of nobles for all of Dwilight's history as far as I recall, finally gets payback for the realms it continuously bullied in the past (D'Hara, Fissoa) and their allies, not counting the numerous attacks and slights on a number of other nations?

Why wouldn't Swordfell pick D'Hara as an ally? The two have always been very friendly, while Swordfell's interactions with Luria contain a few occasions of Luria basically calling them their property. Also, Swordfell could claim land from Luria if it sided against them, but has no opportunity to expand if it sided with them.

Luria Nova is reaping what it has been sowing for decades.

Cause they are more interested in taking Luria's money and buying favors from Barca with it?  :-X

Swordfell could expand if it joined Luria's side.  ;D There's some nice beachfront property right there.

Yes, and what percentage of the players who play will ever become ruler?

A lot higher than the percentage of the players who are ruler at any given moment.

Also, that's the wrong question to ask: the right question to ask is what percentage of the players who really want to become ruler will ever become ruler.

Okay, Yeah, i did notice that. It was a good one, but notice how the people reacted to it. As of continent wide? Like for instance, instead of being angry at Swordfell, Astrum and Morek doesn't seem to be doing anything. Is that really OOC or IC you might ask?

It seems that some are surprised that every time a match is lit there isn't some big explosion. The moment Enoch was in a position of power within Swordfell we were mobilizing to deal with it.

Unfortunately for Enoch, Swordfell wasn't quite as weak of a realm as he assumed. You can only betray so many before everyone knows exactly how much of a traitor you are.

It's ironic, Enoch never made oath of service to SA and everyone bitches that he betrayed them...while he made oath of service to Swordfell and was ousted for upholding it. People love pretty lies more than ugly truths.

The story of Enoch's rule is an interesting one, but you'll have to ask your ruler for the interesting bits. It was too bad that a third of Swordfell never took part in the whole drama. Hell, didn't seem like 2/3rds of the realm took part of anything until Enoch made waves.

Oh, and Swordfell is far weaker than Enoch assumed.  ;)

Some might say an Empire is by definition imperialistic  :P
The arrogance is just what comes of being Lurian, and therefore inherently superior.
