Caelum
« Topic Start: January 08, 2013, 04:12:43 PM »
So... this will be interesting. Duke Victus allows his temper to overshadow his restraint, and secedes the duchy of Heem to form Caelum prior to the realm being ready. We have extremely low population (<20% production in all but one region), only one RC (a crappy archer center in Watto), a single smithy in Heen that is rarely open, and no other infrastructure at all. Can we even survive?

Given that this realm was supposed to allow for everyone to practice their religion freely, it is ironic that it is formed through religious conflict and tension.

Hopefully the entire Northern Alliance (Old Grehk, Nothoi, Sint, Thalmarkin) falls apart over this and starts to fight! Somehow though I hardly believe that will happen.

Our capital has also been under siege by a force of undead for the past several days. I don't know if we have the strength to clear them out.  :-\

Build some?

And there aren't "no RCs". There is one RC. Draft? Enlarge it? Build more?

Who needs RCs when the fighting-plan consist in not fighting?

Was it rushed?  Absolutely. 

See, Sint was attempting to force their daimon-worshiping religion on the realm, its nobles demanding priests from other faiths be executed if they preach in our regions (and as we are a multi-religion realm, that wouldn't go over too well), they were attempting to force their laws on us, etc.  Indirik was one of those attempting to push for all of that, btw.

When I said we would instead realign to Nothoi until we were ready, their leader threw a fit ("SINT IS THE FOUNDING FATHER!!!"  Misconstruing the entire treaty involved), as did Indirik who removed her region from the Duchy of Heen because "The treaty says nothing about joining Nothoi!"

...and yet the treaty specifically mentions the religious freedoms of our nobles.

*shrug*  We'll make due with actual allies and Sint can continue sitting to our north wondering why everyone hates them.  They have something like...  Three or four characters in the entire realm who grasp the political realities of the continent.  The rest don't even seem to grasp that Sint is so disliked.
