The Marrocidenian war

[Chenier]

The north has very limited options for waging war. About all we can do is offer food/gold. Or maybe monster hunting support. Unless Terran's capital gets attacked. It's just too far.

Gold... and food... and LOTS of it.

You talk as if gold and food were worthless... We don't care about your armies that cost a fortune to sail to our lands and then desert as soon as they arrive. Instead of spending all that gold on worthless armies, give them to us, and we'll recruit large armies ourselves to deal with the heretics.

[Daycryn]

It may be that a crusade could be called.

[Indirik]

Of course gold and food would be useful. But most people would rather march 80 soldiers down than send 300 gold every other week. Marching troops is exciting. Sending gold is boring. And giving it away? Meh... there's no excitement for most people in bankrolling someone else's war.

[Hroppa]

Yeah, not to mention the prestige for our characters.

But Chenier, be fair, Astrum's army has been sitting around down South for weeks and weeks waiting for some Moot forces to turn up. It's not the Astrocracies that've failed to put troops in the field.

Weeks and weeks, I am not so sure about that though I know that there are some noble's of Astrum a region away from where everyone else is gathered strangely enough. Also, if I can work away at that D'haran pride, Morek may be joining the war again and in big numbers.

Bear in mind that I am not dumb enough to take all of my followers out of Astrum when I realized they were going to try and refound a realm.  How else am I going to get a religious foot hold in my old realm?

[Indirik]

Quite simply, you won't.

[Penchant]

Quite simply, you won't.

It may be a Republic, but SA is keeping a firm grasp on the realm, making sure that it stays only SA and basically theocratic.

[dustole]

Quite simply, you won't.

Meh... time will tell.

Do both?

If you can send troops and fight, sure, totally do it. However, last time everyone came, distance from the realm seemed to K.O. your armies.

You did send small forces to good effect, though.

Only few people in Aurvandil knew about decision to make new religion. I wonder how many times did old Allison spread her legs for Mendicant for him to agree on this xD

51 years old Allison and about 30 years old Mendicant? Ugh... nice show...    I think gold and crew is enough in this case. Or maybe also some information and/or the wish to piss off the Astroists by giving home a self-declared renegade who wanted to create a schism in the SA.

Not to mention the hole in her head... Though maybe Mendicant has a perversion in that way

[NoblesseChevaleresque]

Ha, you don't even want to know what's been going on lately.

[Galvez]

I was amazed when I heard about the new religion... in Aurvandil...  ??
