If you chant that three times in front of a mirror at midnight when the Maddening is Bright, Jonsu comes out of the mirror and strangles you to death. True story.

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say 'says disparaging things about you, then flees to another mirror'?

If Barca does fail, there's always a possibility for D'Hara to re-expand west after this war and either create it anew, or at least create a duchy for it.

Marrocidentals must stick together!

Have you seen the monster CS chilling out in almost every single coastal region in western Dwilight? Candiels and Candiels Field had around 140,000 CS between those two regions alone.

Then we work with Fissoa and Astrum. ;)

When Barca was settled, there were many hordes of 10,000 to 30,000 CS, and we had less than a tenth of the economy and infrastructure we had now.

Huge hordes? Certainly. But it is our destiny to bring civilization back to the Maroccidens.

That actually sounds like fun. I was thinking that might be a good route for my next character.

The establishment of the Maroccidens was done in a context of extreme strife. Monsters were everywhere, famine was rampant, there was no infrastructure, hostile superpowers, competing realms wishing to establish themselves on the same territory... The strife really modeled the governing philosophy of Maroccidentalism, that prevailed until at least all of the west became civilized (minus the Zuma). There is no good reason for D'Hara not to focus West again once the war ends. After all, it doesn't even have any other enemies. Nor a tradition of conflict of any sort with any other realm than Luria.

Aye, D'Hara will have no choice to go west once we push them into the sea.

No one can push us out of our lands. It's been tried again and again, by many, and it always failed.

Aye, Just like when the D'Harans pushed out the Shadovarans. You forget that even D'Harans arent native to the tomb islands.

He doesn't since he was there. D'Hara never pushed them "out" it was a rebellion, one that very few of the "native" Shadovarans (myself included) fought against.
Previously of the De-Legro Family
Now of representation unknown.

D'Hara was created by people already living on the islands. Makes it kind of native, really. If you consider that every other realm that ever had a toe on the islands was set up by some far-away foreign entity, D'Hara is the sole realm native realm created by islanders.

D'Hara is the islands, and the islands are D'Hara.

Though curse the duchess for the name.

For the love of all that is unholy, can ONE DWILIGHT THREAD not break out into a D'hara fellatio fest?

Asking Chénier not to talk about how awesome D'Hara is seems akin to asking the Pope not to talk about how great jesus and the christian god is.
