Oh, I dunno. It had a good six months. Longer than some realms have survived.

I suspect it might be a unique problem in that we never overextended by combat or force, but were overextended from the very beginning when more Duchies joined than even the ones Anatole and I had been working to convince.

So what will it split into? I'm not there anymore but I'm still curious.
After all it's a roleplaying game.

Skewered by our own success? Or by the lack of ambition of the various dukes involved?

Butchered realm names and a lot of drama.
The adherents of different religions in a realm should compete for power, influence, and fresh converts. They don't even have to be killing each other to do so. I wish people promoted the prosperity of their religions the same way they promoted the growth and prosperity of their realms. - Geronus

Remember Toupellon started out as Tou[ellon as well. Maybe the Realm is just honouring its roots properly ;)

I tried my best, I swear, but the system always wins. Always.

Does it really have to mean anything? Blessèd was to give it a formal english feeling to it, and to symbolize its importance as a religious state, while Sorraine is just easy on the tongue. I didn't want to ruin the realm by specifically naming it after Sartan. What if there was an MA surge and they revolted to take power? Changing names of realms, as I've been told, is a very tedious task - hence I eased the pain of any rebellious figures.

Because that's what *every* ruler wants to do, make it easier on the rebels. :P

I don't wanna criticize or anything, but it could've been a better option to just named the realm Sorraine, and in the full name add the Blessed part, or even Most Divine. :)

To be honest, I agree with you. I was just so overjoyed and in the moment....

I also brought King Claude with me.... that was a mistake.
