The Great Northern Civil War
« Topic Start: December 19, 2015, 10:36:19 PM »
The realms that made up Morek Empire are all finally at war. With Astrum and Swordfell each being outside powers helping the other side, though Astrum is more than likely just going to be busy with Morek Empire.

Helyg Derwyddon has declared war on both Morek Empire and Arnor, and nullified their alliance with Swordfell. Unfortunately there is no ruler of Astrum currently, so we will have to wait until that is solved before increasing relations with them.

Hope this turns out to be a fun war.

Things always seem to heat up this time of year. I guess people have more free time on Christmas break. I remember checking in Christmas morning last year.

I don't recall that being true in previous years. You'[d think things would heat up on weekends for the same reason, but in most smaller forums or sites there is always a drop in new activity during them, which makes no sense.

Basically Helyg Derwyddon has been wanting to go to war for a while now, but couldn't because it was busy fighting Astrum. So we signed an alliance with Swordfell to throw Arnor off our tracks, as well as tricked them into getting Arnor to back off while Antiqualia used our lands for attacking Arnor. Now that the fighting with Astrum is over, we are free help our true friends, Antiqualia, and have a good fight as well.

Being new here, I just want to enter battles and most likely not care for any reasons at all :)

But to hear this, it is a nice trick to pull wool over your targeted realm. Now bring over the horizon.

We all knew that HD and Antiqualia were Lurian proxies/allies. We've known that since the two realms were created.

AQ, arguably so, populated by former Niselurians who who a colonist expedition from Luria.

HD, not really. We share some similar ideas via religion. But there's still Eviera who has mixed views in Luria between seceding from Morek and her actions pre-secession. She is friendly with more generally anti-lurian forces. Other than that, there are teh westerners, which are somewhat integrated into both HD and Luria. But they're a rather independent lot, not beholden to others' wishes.

It's actually more that outside diplomacy has forced us to move in that direction. We wouldn't have near the close relationship we have now with Luria if the war with Astrum hadn't dragged on, and even then we don't trust them. The Alliance with Swordfell was partially to prevent Luria from betraying us and declaring war to give Westfell (the new realm to be formed from Astrum) Shomrak.

pssst ... Westfold ... it's Westfold

Though we're still waiting on the completion of that peace arrangement with Astrum.  Seems having your leader die in a duel slows things down and causes lapses in memory/motivation.

We never let reality get in the way of a good conspiracy theory. Especially when it lets us solidify opposition against you.   ;D

The adjective "Great" gets used to describe far too many wars in this game.

In this case it refers to the fact that the entirety of the North is involved.
