Yes, in my time we intended to give it away. Then Garas took it... and then Ecthelion took it. Annnndddd then, the tax system changed and we had a bunch of Xavax taking Sirion from inside with a Ducal position, a Judge, a General, etc... so, it was better to give them Oligarch/Krimml and keep Slimbar. The plan was to form something in Slimbar as well, but that was just plain crazy.

May I point out though that Oligarch was hunted to death because it formed a new realm only to allow non Sirionites to create Redhaven

Sirion always wanted to give Oligarch out, but in its own terms. Maybe it changed when Ecthelion took the city, but he's history now.

Plentiful Bounties
message to Uidor
You find a dying fellow adventurer who mentions the generosity of bounties in Rii. When he begins making noises after having died, you have to kill him a second time.

Poor fellow...

Another times, I would say...

In the end, these realms were reduced to doubting individuals: Gabriela in Fontan (a torturer), the king of Westmoor (a wacky racist) or the Sultan who would never accept to be deposed, etc... for Erik, a realm that was not willing to kick these people did not deserve to survive to have the opportunity to fight against Sirion another day. Also, some of them asked for Erik's head while they had an advantage. Or, as was common, each new Ruler tried to ignore the whole history of his realm during the war. Erik was not willing to forget, as most of Sirion who always voted in favor of total elimination wars.

Luckily Perdan was far away and Atanamir was overthrown by greater forces, or they would suffer the same fate. And OI has always been very indifferent, some threats of bringing the Silver Legion up there and plundering everything down to the ground usually worked.

Ah... good times. Today I 'm trying to guide my characters differently, first because they do not have that level of power and influence and the game needs smaller realms and wars that do not end in a pile of dead realms. Erik was a result of his time and was directly affected by how his enemies dealt with him. Of all my RPG characters, he was the one who had the most interesting development.

Fontan, the Sultanante and even Westmoor. At one point, every ruler of Sirion (or someone on the Council) tried to force a surrender that would allow those realms to still exist in some way. Or because at first they thought Sirion couldn't win (like when Romul almost accepted peace with Fontan and the Sultanate because they eviscerated OR and Sirion could not fight back properly), or because they were convinced that these realms would indicate some ruler that would change everything and bring peaceful terms of coexistence, like Thomas Foxglove becoming King of Westmoor -- too bad the previous King did everything to be hated and make Westmoor be hated by Sirion, especially the Blood Elf of Sirion, as they called Erik.

Too bad they meet Erik as Judge of Sirion and Duke of Avamar by the way. He did everything in his power to win the public, instigate the war and the total destruction of his enemies. I think you can put the destruction of those realms in my account, at least as far as denying any terms of surrender; either because they were unrealistic, or because they simply were not convenient to a character who saw the opportunity to expand Avamarian borders until Krimml and Oligarch.

I've thought about it a few times. Now seeing that Tom agrees, it's a first step. But I still think about everyone I've played with... and well, although I do not mind to lend my characters for the idea of third parties, I think if everyone thinks the same way.

Imagine write something about, for example, Atanamir or Echtelion... just to discover weeks later that they're pissed off. But, if it's all for free... more people can try and compile something... like... "Life, Death and Intrigues in the Old Continent"... I'm terrible with names...

Or you wait for about 18 years in real life... it was the time some chars took to "die" (no worries, they just paused).

Infiltration is all about patience, after all.

After 2 hours, you finally find an organized unit of undead.
You fight with zeal and strength - but the undead are unimpressed. They feel neither pain nor fear, but you do. Lots of it.
Then you give up trying to defeat them and you only try to get away - but you find yourself surrounded! After a while, you do not feel the blows anymore. They leave you for dead, but somehow you manage to crawl away before they return. Was there someone who helped you? You can not quite remember. There is very little you remember, except the pain.
You have been seriously wounded.

Your continual performances have finally paid off. Your prestige rises one point.

Unique Item Lost   (just in)
As you regain consciousness from your wounding, you realize that you have lost the Sturdy Chain Mail of Perleone!

Almost lost Hrafn... I have no luck with advs.
