There is a clear and simple solution: Embrace D'Hara's manifest destiny and bow down to OUR imperialism. CHEESE GOLD FOR EVERYONE!

Ahem, now that I got that out, am I to understand that Bowie accuses Guile of Forgery, and Guile counters by accusing Bowie of forging a Forgery?

Of course, The only penetration D'Hara got was ankle deep into Old Solaria, which the Lurian's didn't seem to care about much. Then there was our failed attempts to free the Vesperi in Shinnen, either from themselves or the Lurians I am still not quite sure.

Regardless, the only great thing D'Hara has done militarily is defense. Regaining regions that were ours in the first place isn't too big a deal. Our offensive game has been wretched.

Still, that we lasted this long when EVERYONE thought D'Hara was done for? Yeah, I'll call THAT a win.

Nope. They never made it passed Sallowwild. Remember when they Conga-lined into our waiting ranks? Even Rurik was there, sword ready to repel the invaders. And Jonsu, some crazy how, was captured as I recall.

Good times.

Hoarding gold on your islands and making shady deals could lead to a very interesting merchant based culture, Venezia comes to mind.

The Long Winter sort of put a kink in our gold-hoarding efforts, but I see where your coming from. So, continuing this line of thought, what adjectives would you use to characterize the Venetian merchants you refer to? Good, bad, whatever.

I suppose part of the problem is that we have cultural powerhouses like Aurvandil and Luria to compare to. They both have cultural identities that the players RP their characters through naturally. D'Hara does not really have that, from what I've seen and heard, and some opinions about D'Hara have become as outdated as the wiki page.

I'd hoped this thread might shine some light on the subject. If it doesn't we'll just have to figure something else out IC.

Three.  One to sail to the mainland to hire someone to do it, one to complain about how much the food to feed the guy will cost, and one to secretly sail to the mainland to get hired to change it.

^^^ I'll see if we can't get this added to D'Hara's wiki
