I suppose you use ladders when you don't have siege engines.
It would take too long and too much dead bodies to make a stairway of it. And never watched Prince of Persia. Nice ideas, but I believe I am sticking to my ladders.
First there was nothing. Then there was Sanguis Astroism. What more do you need? Seriously, though, try these:http://wiki.battlemaster.org/wiki/Dwilight/Timeline - For early history, refer to the "First Pentannual" and "Second Pentannual"http://wiki.battlemaster.org/wiki/Dwilight_Daily - A newspaper I wrote for Dwilight for a few years, back when the island started. Lost interested after about 2+ years of writing it. Check the archives for more details.http://wiki.battlemaster.org/wiki/Dwilight_News - Hasn't been updated in a while, but this includes links to various IC newspapers written for Dwilight. Some have more than others.
Asylon is a small realm west of Caerwyn, Averoth was a small realm based in Valkyrja on the very north of Dwilight, and the Zuma Coalition is a NPC "realm" northwest of Terran that is very mysterious.
That was going to be a civil war, but the declaration of the League of Free Nations against the Brotherhood of Astrocracies cause them to make amends and it got reabsorbed as Allison and co moved west to help Astrum.
League of Free Nations = Thulsoma, Averoth, Caerwyn, Madina = anti-Sanguis Astroism.Brotherhood of Astrocracies = Sanguis Astroism.It's more complicated than that, of course, but that's a reasonable summation.
