hehehe
Varchilde really respects Glaumring on many levels, including his ability to live inside that damned bearskin without being eaten alive by fleas!
Seriously, this war is a new and excellent piece of entertainment, regardless of any possible 'power gaming' attitudes that may have been worked into it.
Imagine Varchilde's surprise, however, when she abdicates her position as one of the three Lights of the Church and gives up her priestly robes in order to command a military unit (for the first time in game-years) and help with the revival of an old and fallen colony in the west- only to find that the realm she has joined to make that colony has been surprise attacked by their closest trading partners and neighbors while she was en route! And this was only the prelude to all-out war being called against all realms by the majority of the Southlanders!
And, as if more excitement was needed, she had barely gotten to the far side of Morek when one of the Duchesses there called a rebellion and seceded her Duchy away from the realm, causing some SERIOUS discussion about 'loyalties' and Honor, I can tell you all.
Var had to walk away from her realm as it was being torn apart and walk into a new one while IT was, in turn, being ripped to shreds by a combination of surprise attacks from two neighbors and hordes of monsters invading from the West.
An interesting start to her new life in Astrum, for sure.
