Tol Goldora vs Westgard War Name

[Chenier]

But then Avernus adds another 28,000 and though that's offset by Swordfell, Swordfell is so distant they'd only be able to help intermittently while Avernus's capital is a few days away from Morek's.

Before I left Morek's general laid out how screwed we'd be in a direct confrontation. That's half the reason I joined Goldora. I'll take a meaningful active war over a pointless hypothetical one any day.

Meaningful active war? Where?

;D

I find imperialist invasions very meaningful.

Crushing a ragtag band of brutal marauders, with no more than a single semi-significant battle, doesn't seem to qualify to me.

When did they ever maraud?

The locals now fear Sol a lot more than before. The locals don't seem to like Sol as much as before now.

The locals now fear Sol a lot more than before. There is a little bit less sympathy for Sol now.

Random acts of violence everywhere they went, in territories under the protection of Westgard. Westgard warned about 1.5-2 months ago that it would not tolerate oppression of the people of the North-West. TG just decided to challenge Westgard on this... and payed the price.

Calling this a "war", though, is making a mountain out of a molehill. A bunch of marauders came from the East and marauded the lands under Westgard's protection, Westgard moved in to protect the locals. In one fell swoop, the marauders were crushed and sent packing.

This might *cause* a war. But, so far, I've not yet seen anything worthy of being called a war. The siege of Golden Farrow barely cost us anything. I lost zero men to all of the battles. Still have my 106 SF. On the bright side, this last tiny skirmish made my captain rise to +18 skill. Haven't had a skill rise in a while!

That's not marauding that's conquering.

By definition, Westgard then is a bunch of Marauders.

OED's primary definition is:

a. To make a raid for the purpose of plundering.

[De-Legro]

This was actually originally "Coast" until I double checked and realized it was actually supposed to be "sea".

So iterations:

Gold Coast War

Gold Sea Invasion

Gold Coast Invasion

Gold Coast is a major Australian city (in so far as we have cities) so please no.

By what definition?

Westgard never loots, and only takes regions by giving free ale.

Westgard always has the Christmas spirit of Giving

By your very definition.

Westgard did just attack Golden Farrow, no?

[Abstract]

Gold Coast is a major Australian city (in so far as we have cities) so please no.

Alright, so Gold Coast is out.

Other won the vote so a new, and final, poll with the options of:

• Gold Sea Conflict
• Gold Sea War
• War of No Name

Any other suggestions?

Westgard did just attack Golden Farrow, no?

No. Golden Farrow was not brutalized nor made subject to marauding.

Eviction is not marauding, by any definition.

[Fuor Family]

Westgard didn't go out in search of people to attack. People needing attacked presented themselves just outside it's borders, lol
