Great Dwilight War:Astrum defeats Asylon and Farronite forces.

[Qyasogk]

This whole notion that Astrum attacked a funeral is bogus. If you wanted some sort of truce or cease fire, all Niselur had to do was make the official request. You are the apostate warmongers, we are defending ourselves from your invasion.

Hold your funeral in your capital next time and not on a battlefield. Or better yet, don't start a war with the Bloodstars in the first place and your dead hero would still be alive.

That's the way it seemed, most of us were doing grief letters and RPs.  Its great through, it fuels some good IC hatred and RPs.  We are going to express it in action, not words.

Something went horribly wrong with Astrum attack for some reason.

In other news, I have been made Vice-Marshal, and Lord Kenwood was the vice-marshal.

[Daimall]

At least Jorradith thanks us for the defeating the evil plaguing the region.

Your corruption knows no bounds! The reform shall never bow to your apostasy!

Instead of the Red Wedding, its a Red Funeral!

[Frostwood]

Instead of the Red Wedding, its a Red Funeral!

Well actually we defeated the Astrum 'army', since they decided to attack our army gathered for the 'funeral', two or three nobles at a time.  To be honest on that day, I didn't even pay attention to the scout reports.

[Wolfang]

Such was your grief OOC as well as IC.

[Frostwood]

Such was your grief OOC as well as IC.

I try to keep the IC and OOC seperate, but I was focusing on the RP, as next to Exum, he was one of first characters I did RP's with.  For those interested in the battle report:

Attacker Victory!

The locals are grateful for defeating the evil forces plaguing their region.

[Perth]

Saffalore and Gretchew both revolt in the same turn *sigh*

[Sacha]

That was the battle in which Zach was killed. I doubt he was attending his own funeral whilst still alive

[Gustav Kuriga]

ZING!

[Stabbity]

*slow clap*

[Frostwood]

Well now we know the truth, thanks to Frostwood not being able to read his own turn report:
The Niselur troops attack because they are at war with Astrum.
So you admit it was propaganda that we attacked your funeral, when the truth is you attacked Astrum forces.

....

*Zach Kenwood, Margrave of Under Darfix has been killed by Jysandr (6).

Phantaria has got a long road ahead it seems.

[Wolfang]

Stop that Astroist scum right there!

[Sarwell]

Phantaria has got a long road ahead it seems.

We bit off more than we could chew. We should have pacified Gretchew first; at first that was the plan, but the "divide and conquer" strategy just sort of materialized and everyone thought it sounded like a good idea.
