Since its already been announced to half the world, lets make it official on the forums as well.

Lady Alura Aurea, Chief Magistrate of Terran, and Lord Rynn JeVondair, Prime Minister of D'hara are to be forever known as husband and wife from this day forth! This is the first time in history that two rulers have been wed (that I could find), it is a historical moment for Dwilight and the 'Moot!

</yay>

Yeah not really true at all. Political marriages are approximately as common in BM as they were in the real middle ages.

My character (Hireshmont I, the daddy of the Hireshmont Alura knows) married the ruler of Fwuvoghor when he was King of Irombrozia. That flipped an entire realm to a different side in a major war. Marrying the ruler of an allied realm.... you still got some learnin' to do there!

Derp. Oh well, too late. Someone could have informed me when I asked in the Senate and other places to make sure we weren't missing something.

Well, *most recent occurrence in history* :P

That would be completely idiotic and a waste of their resources. I hope they do it. :p

Taking it from another realm would prove more problematic and costly than taking it from the rogues. Not saying they couldn't if they put their backs into it, but sure doesn't seem like it'd be in their best interests.

Well, it would be profligate and a waste of time, but then that is what Aurvandil is about.

It's perfectly in character for Mendicant to let the Provincia fall, so he could come and conquer it again. Letting D'Hara take Paisly so he can arrive and declare "lol no" which would amuse him, particularly as D'Hara are so determined to keep Paisly.

Well to be blunt, D'Hara rather chose to create this waste of time when  they declared war and overrode peace talks. Aurvandil didn't want to waste our time faffing around with D'Hara and Terran.

Well, it doesn't actually matter to Mendicant if the Provincia is around or not, but annoying/inconveniencing Terran and D'Hara does matter.
