There's a massive problem with the current leadership in Luria as well. They're all about "restoring the lurian empire" and allow for very little diversity and excitement.
That's not been my experience which is why I choose to play in Luria.
And do note that we have restored the Lurian Empire. Not only have we reclaimed the lost cities, we've also rebuilt a functional economic base. The question now is what to do with it and what additional infrastructure we need to support player interaction and commerce if we return to the old federation of Kingdoms rather than remain the current centralised realm.
Civil war would be an easy way to keep things busy, as would war with Fissoa or Medina. However personally I'd prefer us to try something more ambitious like war with a northern realm or perhaps some coop play like aiding Westgard or Medina in securing more of the western continent. Ever since Ciarghuala was driven from Golden Farrow she's been keen for some payback.
