Returning to the topic...
We originally planned a TO of Twainville, as Artemesia said. But Ordenstaat's death opened up Rettleville: much easier to supply.
I briefly considering a secession, but nixed it, as it was already a pain just to get down there and take Rettleville, let along slog through the endless jungles of Thysan.
You know my occasional references to the terrible trees of Maroccidens? Those are references to Rettlewood, Thysan, and Odona. Huge travel times, lots of monsters, difficult to coordinate, even more difficult to populate. Plus, the Barcans were itching to go colonize, and we didn't want to delay any more than we had to. Thysan is eventually on the agenda... maybe even soon... but taking it up front would have made the entire endeavor much harder. Plus, secessions hurt region stats.
