I'm not sure where Nisalur(sp?) plans to hit, but I know they are at war too... with... I don't even remember.

Ugh, you weren't paying much attention to the political events.  :D Niselur's defiance was the event that triggered this continental war around which the western alliance block was formed. We're hitting Astrum's northern regions and we will probably taste some big battles pretty soon. Looking forward to it, Dwilight has been too stale for too long.

Welcome. :)

You will notice many letters are popping up, and for someone who just arrived the entire debate might seems very confusing. If you have any questions bring them up IC. Battlemaster is all about interaction.

I don't want to spill the beans, however, things are happening in Niselur and Sanguis Astroism as a whole. All those looking to have some memorable BM experience would want to play there.

We are about to take two regions, but in general, we're waiting for enough nobles to arrive so we can claim them all. Monster are few to find, so some younger knights have trouble with meeting the demand to become a Lord; which is 3 points of prestige.

I am very happy with how Niselur's army performed in this little drill. Even though we didn't participate in any battle we were quick to gather some 6k to the front, and the other army was left at home. Its not much I know, but under Turin's reign the best we could hope for was 2k :p To top it all, Niselur's arrival in Shuberstone has probably tipped the scales and forced Asylon to give up on Aurvandil; and this is something I think they will benefit from in the long run.

I agree with Zangi's observation that not doing much for a long time is bad for both army readiness but also the player experience. So, Leopold is trying to find ways to strengthen his own place in the north. Having LE become his vassal, or subduing them to such, is probably the course he will take.

It was a nice little stand-off, yes. I am impressed with how disciplined your troops are with all that digging in.

Welcome! I believe I have already messaged you IC, but should you have any questions about the game I will be quick to address them IC or OOC.

On another note, it seems that war with Asylon is about to end. Leopold is now turning his mind towards solidifying Niselur's political position and simultaneously finding some stuff for his nobles to do. We'll see what will come from it. Libero Empire comes to mind ;)

I think that north doesn't have any other valid casus belli to continue offensive against Asylon. Corsanctum and Morek are probably already out of the picture, while Astrum will have no other choice either. I think Grimrog made a good choice in cutting off Aurvandil.

I hear you, but I only think that Asylon's momentum was not the best time of the year, so to speak. However, no one could've known that Mendicant was gonna end like he did, hence greatly reducing your chances of having a real ally that would stand besides you. With this new government in Aurvandil it seems they're more focused on Fissoa right now. Grimrog already sued for peace with Astrum, but from what I gathered Astrum wants Asylon to first end the alliance with Aurvandil; alliance which doesn't benefit you. Sure, you could continue the war for as long as it suits you (you guys surely are having fun for it is a tense playing experience), or you could cut your ties with Aurvandil and perhaps make some new ties with realms closer to your own borders. This is the direction I want to lead Niselur in, even though our current paths make us at the opposite sides.

Funny thing is that Libero now suffers Morek's tyranny. From what I know Morekians are recruiting Libero lords to change allegiance so that LE can become extinct. This is amusing because Morek and LE were greatest allies in the Dalian war, but now they're turning on each other slowly but surely.

EDIT: Ah, just saw the reason for the war.  Force Asylon to renounce its alliance with Aurvandil...  so that they would be isolated.   

Honestly, Asylon really has little choice in the matter.  We have little want to be the lapdogs of the SA alliance, if we had wanted that, well there are many SA aligned realms already out there.  There was another alliance called the Moot or something... we had issues with that and ya'll saw how that turned out with a small push...  And so, we are pretty much as politically isolated as Aurvandil... well, we do have friends among the Zuma, kind of.

(I can't spell Aurvandil without looking it up.)

Your alliance with Aurvandil is more trouble than worth, I think. Aurvandil doesn't seem like they can back you up while this alliance has brought the ire of northern realms upon you. I think that Asylon has all the strings in their own hands on how to end this one.

Well, you have to realize that northern realms like Niselur have little space to do much but to follow SA's agenda. These fledgling realms like Niselur and Corsanctum are so far bound to go where the majority go. And since opportunities for war are very few, it is my intention to provide as much fun to those who play in Niselur as I can. War with Asylon is one such thing, however, the way Leopold and Grimrog have set their relations this war shouldn't last forever nor it would mean the death of Asylon. There is not much hatred between the two, for there was no hatred to start with.

Currently, Niselur is a weak realm (why do you think I am advertising a realm in the first place), however, we are not content to always be used as someone's auxiliary troops. But if Niselur manages to grow in numbers and nobles, it is my desire as a player to set a whole different road that will change the north forever.

So, people should come and help us do this! :)

And it is a contradiction. It is this way due to many in-game variables, but in my opinion this adds to the intrigues of the realm which will become more evident as the IC events continue to progress and play out as I hope they will. :)

It was a bit messy :P, but I managed to figure it out cause i know the history of Summerdale and Bay12 players relatively well.  :'(

Yeah, it was Summerdale and it got trashed by Morek and Libero Empire. I played in Summerdale in that time, too. But, here's to new beginnings! ;)
