Luria

[Galvez]

Except that the Emperor has almost no power :p

What is the point of being Emperor of Luria without the power to command the armies of Luria?

They do, nominally, but we have an Imperial War College for that. I am sure that, over time, these roles will morph as the circumstances demand. Nobody is especially eager to create an autocratic emperor/empress right out of the gate, though.

I'm not saying that D'Hara is required to attack Kabrinskia. Sending an army for a 'joint training maneuvers' in Terran regions is not out of the question.

Understood.  But that is the obligation of Lurian realms.  It's a mutual guarantee of offensive and defensive assistance.  The offensive element would come by way of a vote among the realms (in that nobody is declaring war unilaterally and counting on the rest to join in after the fact), but the defensive aid is automatic.

Yea, well, D'Hara wasn't consulted for declaring war against Kabrinskia (well, actually it was, but it opposed it). No votes were held over the subject either.

I don't really see a difference. After all, any sane federation would be bound by the same kinds of restrictions with the obligation of support without allowing any single party to unilaterally bind all others.

Let us name him, Luaesar.  He shall hold all power temporarily until we sort out the powers of the Emperor.

I wonder how long I can keep my character "empire free" while still fulfilling his roles to Solaria... Should be fun.

What do you mean by "empire free"?

Woelfy is convinced he can completely extricate Sevastian from Federated politics as the Preda (general) and Duke. Silly man.

Hah. You guys should have voted him as Solaria's Representative. Hilarity.

There were worse choices...

[Woelfy]

I swear, I'm gonna find a way. You'll see. The political side is of no interest to me. You silly Southerners deal with your squabbling, and I'll maintain the peace up north.

Peacekeeper aye? Booooring!

[Woelfy]

Someone has to keep these monsters and undead down. We found out Kamron couldn't do it, so I guess it falls to Sevastian.

[Lorgan]

Kamron eats undead for breakfast!

[Woelfy]

Hahahahaha, since when? You silly Novans couldn't even find any to play with.

Hard to eat what you can't catch old chum.
