Huh.  Interesting.

Well, perhaps Arcaea's army is just not as powerful as it once was.  I remember other times they've come south, and I seem to recall their forces being much bigger then.

Oh good, I was on pins and needles to see how that battle came out.

For Reference, the sides in the war are Kindara/Zonasa vs. Cathay/Arcaea/Sorraine/Ohnar West . . . the geography involved means that Kindara, Zonasa, and Cathay do most of the fighting, though Arcaea and Sorraine get to do a fair bit as well.  Ohnar West has a really long way to travel to get to the fight.  Arcaea I think is doing other things than just fighting, I believe they are also colonizing rogue regions that they plan to make into its own realm at some point.  I don't know how much of their army is devoted to which thing, but they certainly weren't bringing their full army south.

Can't log in here.  Looks to be the same error message.  Using Firefox on a Windows 7 machine.

Anywhere on the FEI except Greater Aenilia.  Everyone except GA is at war, the frontlines are Zonasa/Kindara/Cathay, but Cathay's allies get to fight as well, they just have a bit of a hike in order to do so.

Obviously I think you should join Zonasa, since I'm ruler and all, but all of the realms except GA will give you plenty of fighting if that's what you want, with Kindara/Cathay/Zonasa probably giving the most.

No one ever sees anything he does coming.

. . .  mostly because people tend to forget he ever actually does anything.  I know I hadn't known he was paying any attention. . . .

That shouldn't be too hard. I think that Elsebeth is the only one that thinks Luminaries should automatically become the Light. Election of Lights by the priesthood is quite possibly the most-favored idea.
Elsebeth most certainly does not think that, in fact she is highly opposed to Luminaries automatically becoming Lights (and has said so several times, though usually while saying 'unfortunately, the rules currently say otherwise, so this is what we have to do right now, even though it is bad').

The question is what sort of election: Elsebeth is highly in favor of them being elected by the priesthood or simply by the elder council, she'll fight to her last breath to keep them from being elected by the whole church.  She will also fight to her last breath against it being a regular election, Lights, in her mind, serve for life, or until they get a Magistratum called against them, at least.

What's the reasoning that priests deserve to lose their gold more often?
I think the risks are less for priests than other solo nobles.

Well, now he's her direct boss -- keep your friends close and your enemies closer, as they say.

In theory, he gets to order her around now.

But, really, I did not expect Elsebeth or Aram to agree to making Allion a Luminary again. Talk about a soap opera plotline...
Elsebeth, in general, thinks that Lights should get to choose and dismiss their Luminaries at will, and so will usually just say alright whenever another Light asks her to approve such a thing.

And in this particular case . . . well, she isn't sure if Rabisu is insane, but he made some good points as to why the appointment should be made.  She told him what the dangers to himself were, but said it was his choice.

And all in all, she thinks this is probably a good position for Allison.  Like her or not, Allison gets stuff done, and this way she can get stuff done without actually being in a position of full leadership.

Though I cannot recall making a claim as Alaron regarding the Magistrates being bribed. The reason he's spouting his nonsense regarding the majority of the Elders being corrupt is more because he felt he had been judged to be guilty without a trial. The recent happenings just gave him supposed ammunition to spout more of it. But frankly speaking, if your character doesn't like it, then why hasn't he demoted Alaron to a penitent rank along with Norgard?

And why should everyone get a trial?  Normally there would be no trial for something like that, the only reason he was going to get one originally was because he was an Elder.  If he hadn't been, it would have basically been Elsebeth checking to see if there was evidence to back it up, and once she found that there was, demoting him to non-full member and suggesting full expulsion.  Unless you're accused of something like heresy, only important people get trials.

Anyways, Elsebeth is the one that demoted Norgard, because he had explicitly violated her orders.  Alaron didn't, while she certainly dislikes him and wishes he would shut up, she's not going to demote him over that.

In a world where your fields and warehouses aren't being burnt to a crisp all autumn long, your supposition holds true. In a world where your fields and warehouses are being burnt to a crisp, your region will already be starving when winter sets in. The resulting math is much less pretty.
Well, yes.  But the point was when a single looting attack would find the most food in stores.

To actually do the most damage, drive their rurals into the ground for all of autumn, and they will suffer.

A prevailing island-wide preference for not destroying realms (which Conan and Jenred between them got rid of) and a desperate peace treaty.  Although that was before my time, so I'm only remembering what I heard from even older timers.
That's a good part of what saved Zonasa from the same situation, so it seems likely.  Unfortunately Arcaea's bout with one region status was after I had left the game, so I'm not sure of the specifics.

(The rest of what saved Zonasa was that our founder, the father-in-law of the ruler of the realm we were at war with, was killed in one of the final battles [actually probably the final, I think I used the death to get us a ceasefire], and from there it was the pleading of his daughter and my negotiating).
