This war would never have happened in the first place if Darka wasn't on board, so you can forget that pipe dream. As for Eston v. Darka, relax. I was being facetious. Mostly.
Did I mention that my current AT character started out in Norland about a month before that went down, tops?
No, we haven't lost the war yet, but I also think we're on the back foot, playing defense. Hammarsett and MI are almost completely on the defensive, as is Eston. Darka is the only realm that can create offense right now, and I'm not convinced it's enough since the enemy simply reverses any progress made after Darka leaves the front to refit. Sure, the other side hasn't won any decisive victories yet, but at this rate it's only a matter of time in my opinion. We're simply outmatched. If you think we're even close to breaking Coria, I think you're dreaming. Hammarsett is much, much closer to breaking than Coria is.
