Not many of the prominent Arcachonians actually died, though. Most paused, emigrated or moved to Ohnar West. They did execute a few of their own nobles during the rebellions, but they were mostly nobodies. I could always have Shinya dug up. Think it'd piss off the Way of the Dragon people if I dug up one of their saints and took his skull?

It took Jenred three years and continent-altering wars to accumulate four skulls, and one of them was a gift (the Himoura who tried to rape Edara, offered from one of the other Himoura's), and the other he essentially bought from an Arcachonian who killed Viracocha in a death duel.  Deathwyrm took three death duels to kill, and Keffer was the only one actually executed.

That's what finally became of Keffer? Oh my.

Indeed.  He paused when Ethiala fell, then unpaused some time later...But as he had paused in (and had been sworn to) Topenah, he unpaused as an Arcaean noble, in Arcaean lands.  He managed to escape (to Aenilia, I think) but we banned him first, and managed to capture and execute him later.

Only man to ever torture Jenred.  Which is why his skull has pride-of-place on Jenred's throne.

Just like the original Sartania was the only realm to ban Jenred during his sadly brief infiltrating days.  Jenred never had anything particularly against them, but he had to get rid of that pesky ban...(and the threat they kept posing by publicly saying they'd attack as soon as they could, but, you know, the ban was the important bit).

Darn. If I'd known that then I might have been able to save Sartania after all.

Oh well. All's well that ends well. And I suppose the destruction of Sartania did give us the chance to spread over a much wider area.

My joking aside, that was unlikely.  Sentiment in Arcaea was pretty harsh.  As odd as this may sound to a number of politicians on the continent, Jenred's efforts were much more often spent trying to moderate aggressiveness within Arcaea.

I don't think it would've helped either. I fear that I made Arcaea pissed enough with my actions as Pontifex back then and the whole "we're gonna destroy Arcaea completely" agenda which in the end was no big secret anymore.
