The Empire

[dustole]

I'm splitting up Arcaea and founding a new empire!

Edit: Oh hey, what a nice 900th post!

[Indirik]

Not unopposed.

I'm splitting up Arcaea and founding a new empire!

I can see the first part happening but not the second part.

[dustole]

maybe you are right about not being able to fully form an empire.  It may not cover the entire continent but I'll get a significant portion.

[Indirik]

If you consider "significant portion" as <50%, then sure! I'm not sure you realize how much resentment there is against the empire these days. It was only every established through the might of Arcaea's armies. Time and attrition has mostly wiped that out. And now you're going to split up what little remains. Which is fine with me. Arcaea is too big for the island's good.

[dustole]

I have to try.  FEI is boring and Claudio is likely the only noble capable of pulling it off at this time.


But yea Arcaea is too big for such a small continent.

[Graeth]

Not sure how many realms will submit to a new Empire, but I appreciate someone shaking things up some.

[Eirikr]

There's still a lot going on with this and I understand many of us have characters in some way involved... Any chance we could either keep the conversation more generalized or hold on to comment until after it pans out a bit? Just from what's been said here, it could alter how I would approach the topic in-game.

Luckily, I took a pretty strong stance from the get-go and I'm good at keeping these things separate, so it'd be pretty obvious if my character's mindset changed at this point.

If you guys don't see it as a potential issues, I'm cool with that, too, just thought the concern should be raised.

[dustole]

Eirikr,

We arent talking any specifics.   No details have been discussed.

[Indirik]

Youre right, though. This is to specific for a forum conversion right now.

Though my character has already taken a definite ig stance.  :p

This is pretty much the last gasp for FEI. I'm about to bail for greener pastures.

[Eirikr]

Eirikr,

We arent talking any specifics.   No details have been discussed.

That's what I was getting at, though and why I asked politely - there's definitely enough information in here to affect how a person plays the situation in-game. Is it enough to fundamentally change it? No, probably not. But there is still story to be written.

[Eirikr]

Thanks, now that some things have shaken out, we're probably more in the clear.

[Indirik]

It should be interesting to see how this shakes out.

[Eirikr]

Yeah, despite my character's severe opposition to it all, I'm very glad something of such scale is happening. I don't mean to sound self-serving, but I think it'd have been really boring if Arcaea just agreed with Claudio. The plan would've given FEI some juice in any case, but now I think it's got waaaaaaay more.
