Here is the place where we can Out of characterly improve Asylon as a place for players to have fun. Try and keep it Out of Character and not to talk about IC matters. Here is a list of questions that you might want to answer:

Feel free to write a review or criticism about Asylon. Now I don't really want to determine what direction the realm should IG but instead try and find out how we can try and include everyone and help people to become more involved in the realm. I want you to try and contribute as much as you want to Asylon so that we can a realm that is interesting, fun and exciting for all players to partake in.
Yes, I like everyone in the realm. They all add something even if my character doesn't agree with them. I'm hoping to see our new nobles be fleshed out more so that we can have a pretty diverse crowd in a small realm.
Hehe, by the way, Redemption II is a woman. The only other one besides Zhoesya. ;)
For what its worth, most of us in Terran are rooting for you. You're a friendly realm that shares our commitment to moderate policies towards SA. You are involved in our cultural sphere of guilds and whatnot, often provide interesting entertainment, and ya'll are ballsy. Worshipping daimons, fighting the monsters, and breaking a treaty with Caerwyn.
Whether Asylon is fun internally or not, it's great fun for your neighbors.
Only post if you are from Asylon!!!!!!

Haha yeah I was just kidding. I just thought the first line of the topic was kinda funny. "only post if you are from Asylon"
But that's what I get for using sarcasm on the internet :P
Haha oh glaumring you're just like the trix bunny.
Silly Asylonians, the Veinsormoot's for the Maroccidens!
Haha jk it's a good idea to join even if you're from Asylon.
Silly Asylonians, the Veinsormoot's for the Maroccidens!.
The second age of the Echuirean kingdom begins today.
No, in all but formalities it is already taken.
Famous last words.
We seem to have stalled with too many regions being overrun by monsters and undead and too few nobles to hold an army together. The last two weeks have been rather miserable.
Looks like Asylon's vastly spread out empire needs rationalization.
Suggestion: take Koshtlom and Itau. Drop some rurals. Let the Zuma starve.

There are quite a few powerful people who want to keep feeding the Zuma, and religion is playing a part of that as well. Also, the Zuma are so very nice, who would want them to starve?

Funny how Chenier just stopped trading with us...
Now we can send everything!
Funny how little it would take to have the moot support Aurvandil. They aren't so smug with their food supplies, after all. ;D
And I didn't stop trading with you. You just arbitrarily decided that a price that was more than enough for everyone else on the continent wasn't good enough for you. And why should I have you bankrupt me if our traders can buy food in your city for cheaper instead?
Nah i think the moot has more honor than just going to the cheapest exporter, not looking at what they really are.
Like everything except a republic or 'good' and 'just' in the Moots republican ideology.
The moot is not that cheap as you describe it, your character is just cheap. ;)
And I don't think many view Madina as "good" and "just". Greedy, mischievous, and bidding your time to cause us trouble again once Aurvandil is gone is more like it.

haha
perhaps Madina and D'haras fued is still rooted deep in distrust of each other.
Don't worry, where not stupid, Paisly is really a hard pressed objective, no one with brains will ever attempt that again.
Or did our armies impress you THAT much from our current civil war?
What i ment was solemnly from your ideological point of view.
Madina and the Moot shares it's republican system and free or near free markets.
While the rebels are following an absolute monarch.
and be fair, when have you ever had some city offer you any amount of food you'd possibly need for a long time deal, that proofed to be stable and consistent in its deliveries?
Its perfect for you to do what you want, to export your food for almost double the price with the zuma, who offer long term buying agreements for extremely high prices.
I don't get it.
Luria can use all of Madina's food production, you know. Or it can once Giask and all the rest of the cities finish repopulating.
Luria Nova is having rather large surpluses right now.
Luria Nova is having rather large surpluses right now.
Not enough to feed Giask at full pop, I'd wager. And it won't be that long until it is, not with the number of people it has and borders with Askileon and OG.
Asylon who?
Asylon who plays with monsters...
Our food production at our current level puts us at 4th in the entire land of Dwilight, not bad for an insignificant little kingdom. Perhaps more than "Asylon who?" the question should be "Asylon when?"
Yes of course and we don't deny their contribution to our realm. Expect to be doing a lot of business with us in the future.
Which will no longer be rogue shortly, trust me on that.
Monsters please stop attacking already this is insane!Welcome to the realities of a large frontier realm. Until now, you've mostly been shielded form the monsters by Caerwyn to your east and the Zuma to your south. But now Caerwyn's gone, all those rogue-spawning regions have taken their place, and you're trying to hold more territory than you've ever had to deal with before.

But now Caerwyn's gone, all those rogue-spawning regions have taken their place, and you're trying to hold more territory than you've ever had to deal with before.
If you want to be a big realm, then you have to act like a big realm. Because, honestly, with a 6K CS army you're going to be quickly reduced to the tiny little thing you were before all those Caerwynians joined you. You simply cannot defend the territory you have with that tiny police force.
Why do you think Astrum has a nearly 35k CS army?
Shoulda helped Caerwyn out instead of trying to double-cross them! Silly Asylon.
Double-cross them? please elaborate, since I was part Asylons Government during the final stages of Caerwyns existance. And I dont remember any "double-crossings"...
And frankly Caerwyn didnt stop many of our monster attacks those came steadily from barrowspeak upper/ lower via and beyond, until I took Lowervia and created a buffer when Caerwyn finally took Uppervia and fortress Via.The very fact that Caerwyn existed kept the monster spawn down in vast areas of land. There are now an extra 12 or so rogue regions to your east, where all those nice monsters can spawn and attack you. The very fact that you're getting buried now should really show you how much Caerwyn was blocking.
Ok ok lets rebuild Caerwyn!
We'll see how many nobles actually join the new realm. Astrum and Morek are going lose a lot of nobles to founding Niselur and the new farrowfield duchy. And I dont know where everyone is getting the idea that Morek/ Astrum has reason to be hostile to Asylon. Our queen is an Astroist from Aquilegia, our kingdom allows Astroist priests, a good portion of our nobles are astroist, We are in good standing with Allison , if anything they are going need our help and cooperation. Not conflict. We have stated that lands west of Mech alb are ours. No Astrum troops have set foot in that area as far as we know.
Asylon will have the food, providing they have the pay. 8)
Also, Niselur again, seriously?You bet.
And I dont know where everyone is getting the idea that Morek/ Astrum has reason to be hostile to Asylon.Mrh? Why would Astrum and Asylon be hostile? Except for the fact that half of Asylon are Caerwyn refugees.
Mrh? Why would Astrum and Asylon be hostile? Except for the fact that half of Asylon are Caerwyn refugees.
You guys still have Baal the Betrayer with you?
They do. :P
Baal is leaving after we destroy Itaulond, he is mainly just tying up some loose ends. Stop trying to dig up reasons to be hostile, its as bad as dealing with Caerwyn under Baal. Everytime I leave a response you have another come back response, its like a wolf chasing a rabbit through its holes, everytime you think you got me, I pop up somewhere else clean and clear.
No wolf will catch me for I am the fox Glaumring Apasurain!
Well, taking regions that the treaties said were Caerwyn's for one, and the whole religious affairs.
VE lost it's stance as a true religion when Caerwyn used it as an excuse to rape and pillage Astrum. Political members of VE were just looking to start a religious war, while the leaders sat back silently. Instead of being a different beast from SA entirely, they just turned it into the other side of the same coin.
Wasnt you a rabbit just now? :o

Glaumring is both the rabbit and the fox...always alert... Ever scheming .
I have no idea where you got this. Verdis Elementum has always had the stance to ignore Sanguis Astroism. There never was any call for arms against SA in Verdis Elementum channels, nor any message about justifying any looting act.There were some messages passed around in Caerwyn, that got passed along to Astrum, about Caerwyn claiming they were using "secular means to fight a religious war". I don't remember the exact content or context of them. Caerwyn's government was also heavily backing VE as a shield against the encroachment of SA, and officially endorsed it.
If some low-ranking nobles invoked it to justify their actions, then in no way can you extend this to the religion as a whole. I'm not even sure if any of the VE elders were even members of Caerwyn in the later days...
Having said that, I don't think too many people in SA really care about VE, now that Caerwyn is dead. Vengeance has been delivered.
I tried to make sure in my messages to never mix religion with politics and called for SA to stop that practice, an IC view we had of them.
I am not sure what Amandil said in private messages but he was the one to order the rape and pillaging when most of us found ways to not follow (Oops, I am a Cavalier and do not have that option, sorry) those Orders while publicly calling him out against them. I believe (I cannot remember since it has been so long) I sent him a private message about those Orders as Archon but it was not heeded.
Since we're in medieval times, asking for a separation for religion and politics is like asking for a separation of politics and science nowadays. People would just be like, "the !@#$ is this guy on about?"
Since we're in modern times, asking for a separation for religion and politics is like asking for a separation of politics and science nowadays. People would just be like, "Oh, it's America, that's perfectly normal."
Sorry, let me rephrase that. It wasn't internal pressure from VE that I felt caused the war, but rather Caerwyn elites using religion as a scare tactic to rile their realm up. They tried to say that Asylon was going to turn into an all SA realm as well when we declared religious freedom among the nobility.
My character was more interested in keeping VE as a religion of meditation, as opposed to a religion where everyone is off to war to guard it form SA.

I think it's interesting that there was downward pressure to stop that practice. There was no evidence of that fact from our end, though Rowan got killed not too long after Caerwyn went to war, so if Baal ended up disavowing the practice I never knew it.Everyone Brance talked to blamed it on everyone else. Given the number of KRB incidents that occurred every time Caerwyn moved into an Astrum region, there certainly was no feel during the the actual war itself that anyone was making any attempts to stop and/or reduce it. And given the fact that, generally, no one knows what kind of looting anyone else does, anyone who didn't want to do it could easily have not done it and no one would ever know they didn't, I can give little credence to any claims of "We didn't want to do it".
At this point isnt' the discussion about whether or not they wanted to KRB moot? They're dead and we won...
Ah, y'know, if Madina wins its war with Aurvandil, one of them get to say "Its not over yet!". Course, fifty fifty odds for that outcome, so just as likely they'll quietly fade or settle into Madina as Lords and only clench their fists and growl any time someone mentions the nort....
I honestly don't understand how Asylon is so weak. They have tons of food, plenty of cities for gold, and lots of nobles, and their geography isn't really that bad. If they'd take Gonophor, southern monster spawns would be greatly diminished, almost negligible.
They must just be running huge tax rates or have no courtiers or something... which is weird, because they have tons of nobles.
With Astrum pushing into Caerwyn's old lands, the monster spawn in that region should drop. Luckily it never got up to the spawn rate that the mountains have, or that the Darfix area has. We're able to keep the south pretty well clear with a modest-sized army.
As for their army, I don't know what's up with that. I expected Asylon to grow quite a bit with the extra lands and nobles from Caerwyn. But their military seems pegged at 6K CS. What's up with that?
I mean, with only half that income, Aurvandil fields almost 28k CS! ::)
Indeed. Terran would quite like to see an Asylon whose army is more... robust. We seem to have a bad habit of acquiring allies with inadequate armies.
Have Barca feed us, and we'll work on fixing that! ;)
Too used to use the gold for other things. D'Hara is not a militaristic Realm. It's just not in her. Hopefully someone at least starts hammering about getting some more recruitment centers and infrastructure. That would be a first step in the right direction.
After all, one day or another we'll have to grow some balls, 'cause whether we wish it or not, our isles will forever attract the envy of some.
Nah, you could linger on as a crippled pushover practically indefinitely. In fact, that could be a strategy. Make the isles look so heinous to hold and manage that nobody could possibly want them. Like the defense some bugs have where they play dead.
Yes but they were considerably smaller not that long ago, with less of everything.
Such rapid expansion is extremely difficult to sustain on Dwilight. I suspect that Asylon simply hasn't been taking the time it needs to take to bring its new acquisitions fully under control. The same thing has happened to Astrum in the past when we expanded to quickly and then found our armies overextended on the northern frontier while core regions were being attacked from the Mountains of Remorse and Woe. I bet Asylon's been focusing a lot on Itau at the expense of effectively defending their middle regions from monsters. They'll probably contract by necessity while they refit their armies and then expand more systematically, with more care to bring new regions fully under control while keeping their core regions clear of monsters.
wtf our Queen just deleted and left the game unannounced! Not cool!
I happen to know of a slightly crazy, but powerful single Lady just to the north of Terran...

*Gustav, ever the overlooked lover, cries silently in the background, before going out to try and get some sense of order from his army*
Provide me a duchy and it's a deal.
I happen to know of a slightly crazy, but powerful single Lady just to the north of Terran...
While you two freaks have your bloodletting competition, Hireshmont will just wander up to Golden Farrow and shower her with gifts of thousands upon thousands of gold. What do you think a good dowry for Allison would be? 3,000 gold? 4,000? 10,000? Given a few months, Hireshmont can get it!
*takes advantage of Chenier's intrusion on the conversation* Chenier wants her most, get him! *runs off to propose to Allison while the horde of suitors beat Chenier*
I think Allison Should marry the Zuma King. That would be an interesting marriage.And then have TmP force Luria to duke it out with SA?
And then have TmP force Luria to duke it out with SA?
Pure gold! I love this idea!

Yeah, no kidding. Terran is going to have to get used to having a western neighbor who is our equal in size and strength.
Bigger now, aren't they?
Pretty soon you'll have a strong northern neighbor, too!
Dont think that we in Asylon are not aware of the negatives of our situations. We are merely politely gloating for a little bit because we made it, we did it we survived past what a lot of Dwilight thought we would. Asylon has a lot going for it and like all kingdoms weaknesses. Thats fine, we got here and it has and is fun. Think of Asylon like Canada, a large diverse nation on the rise.
...And just as indefensible.
I didnt know Canada had a monarchy... cool.

1812 .... Nevar forget
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_of_Canada
I am Canadian by the way, perhaps it somehow reflects and affects/effects how I play and see myself as a leader of a kingdom. And how I act in battlemaster. I ain't British and I certainly am not American. I am Canadian...
So you must be French Canadian... Yeah so am I , I'm a LaPointe. Family line goes back to 1667 in Quebec through the Audette family name. Grew up on the west coast of Canada. Quebecois I assume? Quebec separatism can shove itself...
Oh and I really don't care about the deep history of the war of 1812, I was merely making a joke about the fact that Canada burnt the Whitehouse to the ground in 1812. My meaning being that the United States, is also indefensible, a super powerful country with a huge military just had a bunch of airplanes flown into its largest city a few years ago.
Or I could easily reverse it and say that Astrum is also completely indefensible. Its just one more remark from Geronus in a long line of snarky remarks.
Yeah and D'hara is like the best little whore house in Texas then?
Or I could easily reverse it and say that Astrum is also completely indefensible. Its just one more remark from Geronus in a long line of snarky remarks.
Astrum has one of the most defensible geographies on the continent. Only Madina may be better. We have an unparallelled ring of fortifications around some very productive core lands. It's how we managed to grow so well, and completely stop Caerwyn cold in the south.
Yeah, you've got it pretty good, too.
So long as people sell you food...
Lol didnt Madina just fall? Defensible means nothing if you cannot motivate and coordinate your nobles. The only reason Astrum is assumed to be defensible is because its never been attacked by a sizable coordinated force.

I don't think Astrum is better than Asylon or vice versa, and I'm not trying to play 'who has the bigger e-peen'. Just made one little joke that apparently fell flat... Sheesh.
Our Kingdom has gone for length instead of girth... It's sad really. :'(
Awwww, Asylon has grown up so fast.
Technically Vietnam was a military victory, and a political defeat. The Vietcong were no longer an effective fighting force after the Tet offensive.
Hopefully violence. We need excitement.
Nah, I'm fine with a grand global peace.
We do speak with Kabrinskia and Terran ever so often, mainly though Asylon only has time to maintain its huge kingdom and massive gold and food, our nobles are also too many to count at times so we spend hours doing headcounts and it takes a month to march from one end of Asylon to another. Playing in Asylon is like playing inside of a another entire map of Dwilight... Its just that involved and awesome compared to other realms...
Umm sorry to dredge this up again... But Vietnam was hardly beaten after the war with the states... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Vietnamese_War
They had a war with China in 1979....

This seems to be what the people in power in Terran are shooting for.
I think every single Senator or Magistrate in Terran has some realm in mind that Terran Really Should Attack. It's just that nobody has a majority for their realm-of-choice.
*shakes head* I thought I had already asked that if someone had anything else to say about the subject they do so in the proper subforum, this thread is not that.
But, I'm pretty sure Terran will get some stirring-up soon... and in a way nobody is expecting. *dramatic music*
Terran won't attack the Zuma. For all their bluff and bluster about being the military power of the 'Moot they are relatively weak. Kabrinskia has almost as much CS as they do and we are second on Dwilight for CS per noble. Terran has 100% more wealth than Kabrinskia yet only 10% more military.
That just adds to my suspicion that Terran is working with the Zuma. :P

Right because we usually spend tons of gold on our units so we can sit around during peacetime doing absolutely nothing.
Bit of a silly statement there, don't you think? Why would Terran's, or anyone's for that matter, current CS be very high when all they're doing is chillin around killing some random monsters from time to time?
Why would we maintain huge armies in peace time?...unless.... oh god... You... are ...preparing for ...war
I do, but then I like to take a unit with 100% training and cohesion into the start of a war. If one of my characters is martial minded I expect he will ALWAYS be training himself and his men.
Allison is paranoid. I hope to maintain 10k cs of militia in Golden Farrow when it is fully populated. I think I have 8k cs of militia in there now!
Because obviously recruiting the largest army one can and training it for months is the best way to prepare for war. ::)

Asylon is struggeling, but amused that the OOC forum of Battlemaster belives that Glaumring is the official voice of Asylon as a realm when it comes to OOC conversations on the OOC forum.
He's been the most prominent, outspoken, and influential member of the realm for some time. If you don't want it to be like that, change it.
Randemicos Pope
Randemicos is a man of the military being the general of 4 realms, including Asylon before he was made King. His father, Winther, was a priest for much of life but Randemicos rejected that life seeking power, regardless of the cost.
Randemicos started as knight of Muspelheim, back when it was a part of Springdale. When Muspelheim seceded to recreate Virovene, he joined as his loyalties lied with his lord, Cato de La Fere. Several years later during the dying days of Virovene, Randemicos helped lead a small army to Storms Keep with Glaumring, which he then founded Thulsoma with Glaumring. When Glaumring ceremoniously had the imprint of his feet carved into to the center stone of the courtyard of Storms Keep as to be made tradition of the Thulsoman Kings, Randemicos also had his feet imprinted due to his help in leading the army that took over Storm’s Keep.
Upon the founding of Thulsoma, Randemicos was immediately made General of Thulsoma. After this the details run low on the history of him for a while but it is know that roughly a year after Thulsoma’s founding he joined Summerdale for a month, for a day he was a part of Libero Empire, then he once more joined Thulsoma. Immediately after rejoining Thulsoma he was reinstated as General, but only two more months past until he joined Summerdale again. A month after joining Summerdale for the second time he was elected General, which he remained for 6 more months until he joined Caerwyn for a month, then joined Asylon. That was the last of his many switching of oaths. A year later he was appointed General of Asylon after helping King Glaumring rebel and take control of the government from Emperor Cleon Cullom.
There is little news on the next few years on him until recently, which is when King Glaumring stepped down, Randemicos became King and he stepped down as General consequently. Though seen partially through what I have already said it is my understanding that Glaumring and Randemicos have been very close friends all the way back to the times of when Randemicos was a part of Virovene.
The times he switched loyalty were when our regions starving and overrun joined Summerdale or Libero. It wasnt until the final days we foolishly abandoned Thulsoma for Summerdale that we began our sojourn to Asylon.So his region was switching, not him, due to the region starving thus losing loyalty to the realm you were in, and thus automatically joining the realms that high sympathies? Also, thank you for the details. Likely not today, but sometime in the next couple of days I should have a summary made on you from the wiki and then you can fill in any details if you want. Also it is IC, so I will have some bias though it might not be all my own bias. Hmmm, I got my info from the wiki, which is IC so technically I think I would have to put the info I get from you on the wiki for me to able to use it.
It wasnt until the final days we foolishly abandoned Thulsoma for Summerdale that we began our sojourn to Asylon. If I could go back I would have stayed and fought back Libero and conquered Summerdale. I believed we could join Summerdale and then retake Thulsoma, but the nobles of Summerdale were generally niave.So you and Randemicos left because you saw Thulsoma as being hopeless to win the war so you hoped that by joining Summerdale you could reconquer Thulsoma's past lands and recreate the realm?
Yes thats what was happening. We were under near perpetual attacks for months. It befuddles me how we survived and thrived. Kind of like Asylon. The caliber of nobles!
You mean, like most colonies on Dwilight?I thought D'hara, Barca, and Terran had the Zuma to clear a lot of the monsters for them? They were in a sort of sweet spot. Caerwyn definitely had it bad with the dark mountains and the central west dwilight plains feeding them some good hordes.
Pretty sure it was the same for Caerwyn. Certainly was the same for D'Hara, Barca, and Terran.

Thulsoma wasnt founded with planning , it was just created out of sheer willpower and daring that Dwilight had never seen before, making Randemicos and myself near gods.

I gotta say Everguard probably had it the worst though. First realm on the west of dwilight, before the hordes were reduced, no foreign backing, surrounded on all sides by fantastic monster breeding grounds... those were hard times. Had the monsters not been so bad, we would've been able to hold off Astrum. Having allies would've helped too :'(

The Zuma monster grinder did wonders for protecting Terran and Barca. Even if they didn't actively patrol Terran lands, no monster spawn came out of Zuma lands, and any monsters that wandered into there never came back. Realms like Astrum and Niselur didn't have any of that advantage. All those realm-kiling packs we saw the Zuma beating up? Well, everyone else had to deal with them ourselves. I'm not saying that Terran and Barca didn't have to struggle against monsters, but you have to give the Zuma quite a bit of credit for sweeping things clear, even if it was passive.

Asylon got hit bad a few times after Caerwyn fell but prior to that the Zuma have actively hunted in our lands. Asylon is the favoured blonde haired blue-eyed first son of the Zuma. And Glaumring is the greatest hero of western Dwilight and loved by all. Chenier is hated by his own mother... Its true.

Oh yes, we definitely had huge groups wandering around. I wasn't too uncommon for there to be individual groups of 3K or 4K, with regions holding upwards of 8k or 9K.
The Zuma cleared some of the rogues, yes, and probably are the reason we managed to survive. That doesn't mean, however, that there weren't still a buttload of rogues spawning and that we were fighting tooth and nail for our survival for several RL months, if not over a year (plus D'Hara's constant food shortages for a few more years). The menace of the rogues was a key factor in the creation of the 'moot, as can be clearly seen in the Treaty of the Maroccidens.that was all the player of the arylon family... trust me, we moderated him somewhat. The Caerwyn thing was a great piece of sabre rattling when we were nearly in shambles though.
Everguard probably had it worst, indeed.
But then again, they were !@#$%^&s to everyone, claimed the entire western continent for themselves, and bullied Caerwyn into relocating. No surprise they never had any allies to help them.
No they did not. The Zuma defended their own territory, so that relatively little monster spawn wandered over from Zuma lands to ours. But they did not clear out monsters in our territory or in the rogue lands near us.

Yea, the Zuma beat down realm-killing sized hordes by us. But then again, such hordes simply didn't spawn in the North. Large hordes spawned, for sure. But the very large hordes were rare and mostly stuck around the mountains. And the Zuma didn't clear all of the large hordes either.
And if they removed a few rogue threats, they compensated plenty by sending their own armies against us on multiple occasions.
Aye, Grimrog you have not been forgotten. We would not have been able to do it without you.
see above post, huge 8-11k hordes did attack everguard a few times. we simply turtled up and hoped they would leave, then reconquered lost lands. Biggest to attack Gelene was 6-7k? Aquitain got simply manhandled, as did the Shrine.
King Who?1 is gone, and shall be replaced either by Who?2 or Who?3.
Asylon stories are boring, nobody's noteworthy there.
That's not pointlessly mean at all.A bit rude, but his point is, all of those listed aren't that well known outside of Asylon.
We are a humble realm of nobles who merely strive to serve their realm.Making friends and having power, outside the realm, can make you considerably better at government positions.

Indeed. I didn't mean to be rude, these could be excellent players with very fun characters.
We just can't try to follow the elections because we have no clue who any of them are. It's not as if Mendicant got captured and then all of a sudden Allison decided to run against him.

Given this is the Asylon realm thread, that seemed unnecessary.
And D'Harans seem to meddle and put their nose in any hole around.
I have this weird feeling that this will be a highly, highly unlikely event.
Myself, I am preaching and not involved in politics like I was before. And because I was all pervasive I have decided to sit back and allow others to grow and run the kingdom. Asylonians are highly independent and almost xenophobic. We follow our monarchy and each leader until now has been recommended by the previous, until now. We are having a true election outside of the established kings decree which will be interesting.
Leofricus was once king of Thulsoma for a short period and Grimrog has served since Thulsoma. Pre-Saxon era I might add. Asylon is also founded on the right of revolution, we support any nobles desire to overthrow the monarchy and establish his own kingship if they have enough support, nothing but monarchists are allowed. But kings must rule by popular support of the nobles.death or retirement being the only other ways to end a reign.
I think worshipping Daimons would have been better than worshipping some fruit...+1, that way you get to have plenty of Zuma interaction too. Maybe require a pilgrimage to Nightmarch and Haktoo is just like, wtf why so many vistors?
The Zuma never approved of their worship. And our fruit worship stretches from Astrum to Aurvandiil and has a history since Thulsoma.Who says you need to have approval? They say no, they are just being humble anyways is the other answer you say.

We say, because doing something onesided and that would upset the Zuma is no fun, upset Daimons tend to scorch realms.If you don't ask in the first place and never tell the Zuma, they won't know as they rarely leave their lands, and you can claim you had no idea they would be offended. Also upset daimons tend to do nothing, as they are at war with Morek yet I don't see them being scorched.

And how would you defend that IC-wise? As we live neighbours to them and if we would worship them, we would most likley build shrines or whatever and do our best to gain their blessings, cant get blessed if you stay hidden from the things you worship.
But this discussion is filling no purpose. As Glaumring say, most of us stick to our fruit, the rest of us worship the stars or the elements. If you want to move to Asylon and start a religion where you worship the daimons, you are welcome to do so. Asylon support religious freedom.
Really? I will do that then. :D But I need to save up some gold first...
Oh I thought you were running for ruler of LN. ::) ;)
Thinly veiled threats are fairly ambiguous. Anyways this has nothing to do with CoB take it too the Asylon thread or something.
we will not fail one of the few friends of Asylon.
Unfortunate chain of events, I would rather seen our realms remained at peace.Without seeing whatever Grimrog was supposedly replying to, looks like a threat to me as it did to others. I am not saying it was meant to be for sure after hearing a bit of Grimrogs side but to D'hara, it sounded like a threat.
Hmm, so did he show you my full letters? or just theese sentances?He showed only the letter that contained those sentences which was in its entirety but due to the lack of any other correspondence shown or suggested, it sounds like a threat to us. As to your adding of paranoia, we aren't really worried just pissed.
I could post our whole correspondence here, but I do not play that way, and I lack faith in too many players of this game beeing able to keep IC and OOC seperate.
But to add to your paranoia: Asylon and Farronites are allied, allowing us to march through their lands, create a fleet and invade D'haran islands. Im not saying that we will do that, but im sure you can copy and paste this into whatever you want.

Ok, I understand. Makes me wonder why he wants to piss you off...Seeing it from you have shared so far, it seems like its not a threat but it seems he saw it as a threat too as that's what he said. I will try to refrain from posting any other IG things from now on though atm, though if you wanted to privately share your correspondence, I wouldn't complain in the least ;)
I havent even shared it with my trusted council ingame, so no. It was a conversation that I thought was private between two rulers, and I will treat as such. I rarley post on the forums since most of the time i see too much people blabbing about stuff that should be resolved IC. Nothing aimed at you, just trying to keep it clean and seperate IC from OOC.Completely understandable though to the council notion, D'hara is a republic so important things like threats are shared with the House of Lords.
Just gonna say it: if FR allowed Asylon to march through their lands and attack D'Hara, given the present difficulties facing FR and the present composition of the elders, pretty damn sure there'd be some nasty consequences for the Farronite Republic.
How good there wont be any marching. Asylon have researched airships now.

The likelihood of that is about the same as the Farronite Republic being able to conquer Aurvandil all on its lonesome.The nasty consequences or the allowing of the marching/flying of troops?

Allowing them to march through. If we had made any alliance with Asylon, it was defensive only. No support for aggressive actions against other realms. Although now the likelihood of an alliance with Asylon is dwindling.

Gustav are you a republican or a theocrat? Honest question.
Glaumring has gone off the rails again.
A fairly level-headed traitor ;)

Gustav is a good guy.
I try to play him as frustrated with everything going on with both sides, and trying to get out from between a rock and a hard place.Well the frustrated part is definitely true, with your peaceful rage quit in SA.
He's back at the Knight of the Temple rank.Nobody knows that though.
I mean, Astrum and friends came into it against Asylon to help Terran, and Asylon was attacking Terran to help Aurvandil. Now Terran is gone and Aurvandil is not really at war with Terran or the 'Moot anymore.
Eh, that is what Sir Grimrog seemed to insinuate about the Zuma. But then again, I'm usually wrong about those kind of things, so oh well.
News:
Asylon has accepted the terms offered by Morek Empire and Corsanctum and ended their alliance with Aurvandil and are now awaiting to return to a neutral stance with the two realms. The war with Astrum seem to carry on though, since no terms have been yet given by the Astrumite Vasilif, since their previous casus belli (defending Terran) has become invalid.
Here's hoping, "Feed Terran!" is one of the terms.
"Feed on Terran!" seems more likely. ;)
Hey... how about you feed Terran?
Feed me? Pls? For old times sake?
I already fed you, a few weeks back.
And now I feel like I'll regret having done so.
Feed me more.
We're buds.
Feed me more.

Urge to employ scroll of decay rising :p
It doesn't increase decay rates. It causes food in a region to instantly rot.
We who usualy hijack threads, salute you =D
;D we must be doing somethig right because they arent here complaining about how naughty Asylon is.
Join Niselur in crushing Corsanctum!
I've been seriously injured couple of days. Dont you guys dare to leave me!
Dont worry, we are still waiting for the 9000 Longships to be finished.
