There should be permadeath on Dwilight. I second that notion - but I doubt it'll ever happen. That said, I wouldn't mind realm power positions going permadeath. As for people complaining that people would stop being council members or bankers because of it... Why? It makes sense for a council member to stay behind and not go suicide charging the enemy ranks. If they want to play recklessly like that, they should be put in a position of danger. If they don't want to die, they should stay far from the front lines, or even stay back at home.

Well, it would certainly add a strong extra incentive to be the power behind the throne.

Hireshmont just got assassinated in Demyansk. :P

He doesn't even have a meaningful office now; I dunno why he still keeps getting knifed.

Just a knifing? It sounded like they landed troops or something.

Probably because you're a Vellos. That name is apparently becoming dangerous  ;D

He asked about what's going on with the Lurian invasion of Morek. You responded with, "I got knifed in Demyansk."

Luria Nova landed troops in Donghai and kicked butt, and have either begun a takeover, or put the region into flames or both.  If I was a betting person they intend to form a colony with the stabilizing effect of a certain priest/diplomat.

The Astrum army has move back to is capital for refit/regroup leaving Mo Gene and you in the middle of the Niselurian army.  One Astrumese was lone-wolf raiding and accidently moved into the Niselurian army and got curbstomped.  Another probably attempted to escape through the Corridor of Torment, but missed the message that the Zuma are guarding it for us, and found his escape route blocked, and probably had to crawl back through the mountains.

He mentioned being out of touch and wounded; that's what I was commenting on.

Sorry to dispel the rumors, but Luria Nova is not trying to colonize Morek. Things are about to change in the war though, so I urge everyone to hold on to their seats.
The adherents of different religions in a realm should compete for power, influence, and fresh converts. They don't even have to be killing each other to do so. I wish people promoted the prosperity of their religions the same way they promoted the growth and prosperity of their realms. - Geronus

The Lurian takeover attempt in Donghai failed after Morek defeated the invaders there, but not before an amount of looting, fortification damage, and some killing, raping and burning occurred. A force of Lurians subsequently attacked Caiyun, but were defeated.

Whoa, that's ballsy. That's the one of the most sacred places in all of Sanguis Astroism, if not the most sacred place.

Luria vacated Donghai, leaving Morek to attack stragglers. Caiyun was merely being travelled through by a singular unit in retreat and the poor choice of travel location was quickly condemned within luria.
