Ahem. Two lordships opened up because one paused when we found out he was going to attempt a hamfisted rebellion, and the other through inactivity. One person gave up a duchy to make way for another and was appointed to the region where the lord went inactive. The other vacancy was filled by an existing lord, who's region was filled manually after the election never started. As to why a character who'd been there 5 days was appointed, there was a well-established link between her "father", the Duke of Astrum and Malus, and she came to Solaria by invitation.

Mind you, three of the other candidates had been in the realm LESS than five days, and happened to lead a failed rebellion in the neighboring realm. And, oh yeah, they're all Pyrist zealots coming to a realm that is increasingly filling up with them while the anti-Astroist rhetoric grows. Can't imagine why I wouldn't just let the election run! But you wouldn't be knowing anything about all that, huh?  ;)

PS: We're taking Axewild and Girich, and those elections WILL run without intervention.

PSS: And you're earning more than 100 gold per week, not accounting for the ridiculously high rates I run in the town, after three days in the realm, having taken the smallest estate I had, and having narrowly avoided a Federation-wide banishment thanks to my furious lobbying. Remind me again why I expend so much goodwill on people who never recognize it? Oh yeah, because I'm an idiot!

Vote in Brom for one of the lordships and I may let you keep your Rulership. ;)

As a D'Haran I laugh at that paltry sum.

Mind you, I find it hilarious and fully support it. There were about 7 people running. 2 people lead the failed rebellion and ran, which doesn't even account for a third of the runners. And like SA is prevalent in Solaria, not a single word mentioning stars, religion, or a dark red color has been mentioned as of yet; some zealots you guys are :P.

PS: SURE they will. That's what you said about Flying Hongrns.

PSS: I made 77 gold on the last tax day, which is about 77% of the minimum figure you're putting forward. When it comes to gold, Solari offers the flip side of the truth  8).

You had some wild lands that needed to be assigned. Should be higher now. If it isn't to your liking, there are about 30 other vacant estates in the realm. You choose the Purlieus, remember. There aren't any zealots in Solaria because it isn't an Astrocracy. There are more Pyrists than Astroists, and more pagans than both of them combined. What sort of propaganda does AP issue its members?  >:(

Sorry to inform you but it was you who supported the zealots, not the Church. AP is actually trialing them for heresy.
You make the mistake, we get stuck fixing it, you blame it on us! >:(

Nope, its regarding me(and friends). He's realizing that without the Manifest Path to balance things out, Solaria is going to be overrun.

So get someone to found Quintarianism if you're worried about having a counterbalance to other religions in the area.  It's realm-agnostic, has prescriptions for practical life, and is looking for a home in BM.

Didn't you try to found that in Carelia or something?

I had planned to, but then Carelia was getting its ass handed to it by a realm with a militantly realm-supportive religion.

That didn't seem like a recipe for longevity.
