Different conversation, Lefanis. And what Velax said to Me'hoe was that most of the Ohnarian Council engaged in and ordered similar barbaric actions while in Arcachon. The Ohnarian Banker even did so before he joined Arcachon, as a member of a realm allied to Arcaea, so bonus points there.

Here is the complete story: http://wiki.battlemaster.org/wiki/D%27Arricarr%C3%A8re_Family/Arnaud#Roleplays

What exactly did you expect?

Nothing really, as you can well see he is a comic-relief-character. It's all IC fun, don't worry. And my previous post in this thread was me just kidding. :P

I love comic relief characters. :)
The above is accurate 25% of the time, truthful 50% of the time, and facetious 100% of the time.

...Right. Because Morgan is totally raring for war, and doing everything he can do to get all his nobles involved in it.

He's completely not being silent, telling his realm nothing, and occasionally saying, "Hey, we'll have a war in a few days!" then "Oops, no, guess not. No war for us."

Just because you are not privy to discussions does not mean they are not happening.

Which is 90% of Zonasa's problem: Nobody knows what you're discussing.

Kindara would be on board, I'm sure. Being blocked into the south makes things a little frustrating if someone above us isnt ready to go though.

Why do you have to wait for them to be ready? Neighbors are made for attacking. If. They won't help you attack, then attack them until they are!
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

Rejoined OW just in time for elections. I wonder how Sorraine will react when they find out the old duke has rejoined the realm council. That is, if I am elected.

If not, the least I can do is take over Ambassador status again and engage in talks with Kindara, PoZ, and GA.

But back on topic of the Arcaean Empire.. I'm drawing a blank here.

Sorraine isn't Toupellon. We could care less about the old duke joining the council. In fact, we expected something of that fashion since OW is a bunch of scoundrels and liars.

Your second statement, I think, is trying to provoke fear? They abandoned OW once before, now there is little they can do - especially when the colony forms. The amount of horror I have as a reaction is expressed by the following smiley. -_______-

Arcaea is trying to form an Empire. Its inevitable, as the Dark Isle will be given to Azgath in order to create Coralynth; a Kingdom under Arcaea. However, Velax is also seeking to acquire Sorraine, which was going well until... well about a dozen minutes ago. Selene wants Jenred's idea for an Empire, granting all rulers a chance to become Emperor (after Velax). Bending a knee to a heathen is serious business, and only Velax would deserve that respect for he too is tremendously honorable and noble (a sartanian at heart, in Caspius' eyes.) His successors will not be him, evidently, while also being heathens. This creates a dramatic concern for the Church, Selene, and Caspius.

Caspius adheres to his faith, to his High Priestess in such matters, and will not accept the Empire any longer unless some kind of option presents itself.
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

Keep negotiating. It's not completely out of the question.

Norrel put it a good way. "Velax is a politican, Caspius is a rock."

Hah, Velax would find that highly insulting. He thinks of himself as a warrior, rather than a politician. :P
