Whoa man, hold your horses
There's only 10 of us, and I think some will probably look up north for realms to join.
I don't quite follow politics (or anything really) in DWI, but a constant fight to gain much H/P doesn't sound like a terrible idea to me.
Horses? My alpaca-driven carriage is unstoppable!
Realm list page says 11 nobles for Westfold. Are you forgetting yourself?
Westgard is north! If you exclude the Cayun exclave, our southernmost tip is forther north than your northernmost tip!
