So at its lowest point Fronen was down to one region and was governed as a tyranny.
Now it's back up to five regions, including one city, and has 9 nobles. The republican system of government is restored and its army is small enough that it's not forced to join any side in the war.
The downside is that it's ruled by the most infamous (non-Chenier and non-Himoura) man on the continent, Immanuel Octavius who is hated by the big boys of the north and that the duchess-judge of the capital hates his guts.
Where now for Fronen? Will it dissolve into internal squabbling again? Will more regions rejoin it? Will it amaze everyone by somehow conquering the continent? And just how should it try to get new nobles?
Please send answers on a postcard addressed to The Senate, Wudenkin, Fronen.
You should attack Nothoi. I hear it's the cool thing to do these days.
"The return and lightning fast demise of Fronen" seems a more fitting topic, but only the weeks to come will confirm that.
Eh, in a realm with only 8 nobles it only takes two of them to protest someone out of office.
Update: Immanuel will be resigning as doge in order to stop Fronen being curbstomped by Thalmarkin :(

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to go out like a boss, and ask for a Chénier or a Himoura to rule you.

This counts as scissors, right?

Only if tungsten counts as rock.
Scissor or rock... you both know the Thalmarkin bear beats them all.

The only thing better than Thalmarkin's bears is what they use them for:

given the natural gait of a bear, that would be both incredibly unconformable, and a real pain to stay in the saddle.
Bring 'em. Xolotl's been breeding some new companions in the deserts.

Doesn't look like they're going anywhere though. :)

Fear them more than any other creature, because they are coming to consume your grasslands!

Goats actually prefer things like weeds to grass, just saying.
Lorgan's picture depicts my personal legions much better!

I'm thinking about having the Golden Spear redone with some of the gold taken from Sandefur.
Sandefur's one rich city all right... :)
