Lundlands already united. They united against Solterra

And with any luck, I have a plan to avoid war with Solterra.

[King Solterra]

Solterra would graciously offer Kaben's mercenaries refuge in one of his own Fiefs, or even take claim to one of Cole's.

The quote is eluding me, but Alexis stated she doesn't really even feel like she's 'up there' as a worthy Lady compared to Solterra, she just feels like she was grandfathered in because Solterra is her brother. She doesn't care for the Throne, which is why she was pretty eager to leave. She's spoken to Cole about this, she'd rather be a mercenary leader. Royalty just isn't her thing. Her alignment is similar to Chaotic Neutral.

Things would not be well under her rule.

P.S. - Remember Dread's Fist? Yeah, they are still a thing. Dread and Barry are going to play Poker. If Dread loses, he hires a prostitute for Barry for a night. If Barry loses, well... Ashgan is going to have a rude and... quite horrifying wake up in his Capital. (Nothing will happen, Barry is just going to do something obscene) And I think it will make a big enough impression to be in the Daily Lundlands.

No, less talky way of avoiding war.

Understood. As long as they do not engage Solterra's forces, and do not speak to them, Solterra won't pay them any more mind than they need.

Certainly won't be engaging anyone's forces. And the way to avoid war was for the whole nation, not just themselves.

[Heyitsjiwon]

agnatic cognatic primogeniture for me.

Also, P.S., you can be self sustaining if you make the majority of your soldiers unlevied and have them work the crops. But to be completely self sustaining, you must have all soldiers work the fields. Then you can have excess crops, but no men to fight... at least you don't lose bullis.

[The Nexerus]

Aaldoren Succession Order;

Grindan, then his son Tjard, then his brother Dayton, then Dayton's sons: Leland and Eaton, by order of age.

After Eaton would be the sons of men who've married Grindan's daughters.

Weren't they on the Ironstone Isles? I guess the situation's under control enough that they can be paid to play card games now ;) Either way, I technically don't have to deal with the rowdy bunch since they're based in one of my vassals' lands, which is probably a good thing in this case.

Circumstances have changed. Dread is now essentially going to be there until the end of the Waiting season, simply because that's what Ealmund payed for. After that, they won't be needed. You'll learn more when your update comes.

They're home now. They are back and their going to commit little petty crimes around House Griffiths fiefs, but they aren't going to do anything major. House Griffith as a discount with them if he ever hires them, and even it's less bullis, they respect and honor him, which is why he will always have the discount. You should strike a chat with Dread, he is interested in talking, and he also finished his Messenger Post now, so messages going out are extremely fast.

Speaking of which, Flooby, almost 2 weeks ago you said that. Any updates for Dread's Fist lately?

[King Solterra]

Kaben, with the newly made assault plan last night, you may just want to ally. Especially if you'd like your mercs to be able to keep their little castle

[KabenSaal]

Cale, with the newly made plan last night, you may not want to be flinging around threats you won't be able to back later.

[King Solterra]

Solterra fights with almost 10, 000 more men and an entire ally to boot. You make your choices, as they may be your last. One thing to learn about Solterra; he doesn't make threats, he makes actions.

[KabenSaal]

Numbers do not win a war.

[King Solterra]

Numbers are not Solterra's weapon, it is morale. Numbers are merely a bonus. What wins war is strategy. Either way, Solterra doesn't fight to win this war, he fights to save his Sister. If he can not reach her, he'd rather die than be treated as a criminal in Cole's eyes. He would rather die than witness his lands taken or watch his Sister be harmed. Neither I nor Solterra are being a fatist, he just doesn't care. He will fight until there's nothing left. It will leave a scar on Pelataria that will never heal.

You know, there are a lot better ways to go about saving your sister than slaughtering priests, insulting nobles and starting a war.

[So Boerd]

What's going down?

[KabenSaal]

E-peens are been swung like weapons, and I am being very much like my Signature.

[King Solterra]

Solterra is not having an ego moment. Neither is he slaughtering priests, nor starting a war. Cole wants to take Therral land and hold Alexis hostage from inheriting the throne. The armies are ordered to kill the soldiers. They will try their hardest to leave the innocents alone, unlike Cole. But Solterra will end this war, whether it is with him going down in a fight, or taking Cole down.

Win or lose, Cole's forces will be brought down. Either Solterra gets land, riches, and fame and he saves his sister, or he won't be witness to the possible harm that could come to her, or the fall of Therral. His men are not fighting for a crown, or for riches. They are fighting for their homes and their families. So if Cole really wants to do this, he better be prepared for the consequences, win or lose.
