What is the Moot?

Whose idea was it to make the Moot so chock-full of crazy characters, anyway?

I mean the letter-characters.... oops, I punned myself.

Alright then. So what are the benefits of being part of the moot?

Theoretically, mutual defense, information-sharing, collaborative diplomacy, aid in suppressing rebellions/secessions, etc.

However, the only Moot realm that consistently performed its mutual defense obligation was Terran, and then when Terran had secessions, the other Moot realms abandoned them.

Before Terran splintered, joining the Moot I think was a strong value proposition for many realms. Now? I don't see why anybody would want to: it's just voluntarily subordinating yourself to D'Hara.

lol, it was mine. I came up with it. I think I came up with it as vaguely nordic-sounding gibberish... or maybe it's some esperanto-nordic fusion word... I forget.

No, Aurvandil isn't going to become a republic. In other news, I've been elected general and I really really really dislike Dhara. Sup port raviel.

Bring it, bro.

In regards to the moot, I see it at an interesting point right now. Before, joining the Moot would have been to voluntarily subordinate yourself to Terran  but with Terran gone, the geographical restrictions open, and the Farronites close to entry, now is a chance for the Moot to revive and reidentify itself. To be honest, it's always been pretty quiet. The ability to hold referendums would make it less so, but oh well.

Sorry, you can't have it. Try for Paisly or something.

I'll tell you the benefits of joining the Lurian Empire, if you'd like. Already got Fissoa on board.

Fissoa and Aurvandil in one Empire? Only in Luria!

What? Do people actually do that? To D'hara?

Do the D'harans know about this?

Sure, bring on the spiel. Do you get a company car?

I get whatever I want, since I'm the Queen. You, however, can get your very own shiny new port city on an island not-so-far away, but only if you join within the next twenty minutes!

Some conditions apply. More details on the greener side of the fence.

He is simply making that up because he is butthurt over it not working out so well with him not liking that not everyone used the same interpretation of the charter.

No need for hostility. And butthurt is a wee bit offensive.

He's just jealous of the coastline, as every* D'Haran region has access to the seas.
*Except for Chesney. Stupid Chesney.

Beautiful beaches, really.

Sea? It's a large lake

Cities like Echiur, Darfix, Springdale and Flowrestown have access to the sea

[Vellos]

Sea? It's a large lake

And someday we'll make in an Astroist lake and enforce the Pax Astroicus...

Then collapse into corruption and infighting about 6 days later.

Lies. These suckers have no access to the seas, just to the oceans. The Inner Sea is ours!
