I sent someone at least 10 posts ago when you asked the first time xD, since it seems no one else is going to turn up, I guess I'll just have him arrive in my next post when I get around to making it xD

I think everyone got lost in the marshlands, or died from the plethora of diseases there.

Prince Potter: The only state capable and willing to mount an invasion is Cyrodiil. While the legions have strength in number on land, naval combat is gonna be a whole 'nother thing. Skyrim and Hammerfell might have hostile track records against the Dominion, but they are neither willing or capable of going on the offensive. As for Elsweyr, half of it is essentially under Imperial occupation. Cyrodiil is spreading propaganda there, but espionage is a game that two (or more) can play in.

Leidenschaft: You should get the next issue of Tamrielic Gazette up soon, we can always use more annoying daily issues.

Elsweyr & Black Marsh: Taking advantage of the recent chaos in Elsweyr, a local pirate has taken to prowling the waters around Senchal and Soulrest, sacking many trade boats and ferries coming to and from the cities. Cyrodiilic sea-trade is not as affected, as the pirates seem to steer clear of the large merchant ships taking goods to the Imperial City. Some fishermen and locals from both cities take this as a sign that these are Imperial Privateers in their waters, whereas some just think they like to keep violent confrontation to a minimum, only preying on the weak.

Is this supposed to affect me? I mean, the sea is at the South of Elsweyr and I'm at the north, so currently, really, it is only affecting the South of Elsweyr which is actually kind of helping me. I mean, If I'm at the North, I'm probably not going to get trade from the sea, I'll either get it from the north, or from other nearby provinces. So, Hurray. The south is getting raped.

The Imperial Legions owe a lot of the way they work with the Roman Legions, I'm assuming Post-Marian Legions to be exact. Legions in battle formations were often packed nice and close to make full use of shield-walls, so they would definitely be hearing it, and if they couldn't, the order would be carried along on the line of commanders assigned to each cohort and contubernium.

Wont matter much how close, unless no one is wearing a helmet, no one on the entire battlefield is shouting, no horses hooves making a sound on hard earth, and the married of other noises plaguing a battlefield. There is a reason even the roman legion used trumpets and banners.

Well, the Emperor sort of told them that eventually the Thalmor would log their forest, and as you can imagine this was a huge concern for them. Since they now like the Khajiit because of some trade agreements, who are part of the empire, it seems they were pretty quick to decide they wanted to get the Thalmor out of their lands.As for taking this war to the see, my plan was to get the, Breton, Redgaurd, Nord and Imperial Fleets to come down and attack, that hasn't exactly gone to plan, but I have some confidence in my plan B if needed, though it would involve heavier loses, there's no doubt about that.Of course, I'm sure after the Bosmer player finally gets his lands independence, we can instead agree on a fair peace treaty this time around, since it seems Aelid's dominion is not as bad as the one I was fighting against. Still pretty bad, but better than the one I had been fighting against, so I think we could probably get along... Nearly alright if we made a new peace treaty xDNeed to rant and rave at Morrowind once the news spreads, because apparently it was too much effort to dismiss, deport or exile anyone who liked the Empire in your ranks, and instead they had to get murdered xD

Heh, once Valenwood no longer has their older elven brothers for protection.....MUAHHAHAHAHA!

I mean....FRIENDSHIP!@

Having someone like the Empire within the Armigers ranks was a liability. The Armiger's loyalty must remain only to Morrowind just like the Legion must remain loyal only to the Empire. :P

They were executed legally by writs of execution so I'm sure news of it wouldn't even reach out of Morrowind.

[Prince Potter]

Updated my Nation Sheet with the important people, made Jark Wolfsbane leading bandits instead of ex-stormcloaks and companions. Also, Walden is leading ex-prisoners. I'll post my first IC soon.

Surely that means it would spread faster, since you fully legalised it. No family who are going to be particularly pissed about that?

[LimeyPanda]

So uh, I'm a little confused as to how you have extrapolated that the Argonians did not invite the Khajiit from the letter I gave you, Darkwolf. The letter doesn't mention anywhere that it has omitted Eleswyr, and only a brief bit of my own personal pontification made note of it.

By doing so, you have completely ruined an entire Plot-point I had in mind for the Eleswyr lot. More than a little frustrating, if I do say so.

[Hyperdrive]

@Darkwolf - Writs of execution were actually legal even before the Nerevarine took over, it has been part of the Dunmer culture that execution of such contracts were already considered a part of tradition. It doesn't mean people wouldn't hold negative emotions though, they're still people after all, but they've already learned to respect how writs have bought balance in the history of the Dunmer before.

@darkwolf mind saying what you're doing in vallenwood cause you didn't say

[GreivousKhan]

Wow, how in the world did the Imperials pull of capturing so many ships. :K

Them sailors must have been sleeping on the job.

I think people would gossip even if it is legal, and not everyone passing through morrowind is not going to carry that news around. And someone could mention it in a letter to a friend or family member. It's not as though every Dark Elf is in Morrowind, or Every imperial is in Cyrodiil, or every Breton is in High Rock etc

As for capturing the ships, we kind of captured harbours while they were docked, free ships >:D

Darkwolf, I'm already counting the septims. :K

You are perpatrating propoganda against a neutral nation while encouraging ethnic animosity?

*Shrugs*

Well, I can do naught be react as the nation would react.

Expect your 'Propoganda bomb' to bite your empire in the ass. <3

What... No, it's not anything against the Argonians, it's to display an 'equality' between the Khajiit and the Imperials, an attempt to subdue the south. Encouraging Ethnic Amniosity would be almost entirely detrimental.
It's got nothing to do with the Argonians past their decision not to give it to the Khajiit, it could be anything similar that was not extended to the Khajiit, it really doesn't matter. Anyways, it's got little to do with anything against the Argonians, it's more to do with the situation in Elsweyr, you just provided a sort of tool that's all, and I seized the opportunity :D

And Khan, if you try and steal Valenwood, I'll cry :C xD
