People want to imagine they're playing the hero/protagonist. What is forgotten is that you can't just say you're a hero, and be a hero. I find the most incredible protagonist stories in BM are those who take crazy risks and succeed.
Like King Fingolfin's legendary invasion success that resulted in Thalmarkin trying to spread his authority upon invasions throughout BT. Or the incredible survival of Eponllyn and the beginning of a turnaround with relations with Perdan...before Perdan went back to its same old lame self with Vix's help. Or the tale of the People's Republic of Avamar survival against all odds until the largest battle in BM history (up to that point, since surpassed) ended them. Or Glaumring's survival story. Or the survival of Luria Nova against an invasion by all Dwilight sans Swordfell, which Luria won and forced peace terms upon (most) of their enemies. Sint surviving in-between invasions with the nefarious reputation they acquired during invasions. And many more...
