Orthodox Easter has arrived, which means my time for replying to stuff is going to be close to nonexistent. I apologize.

It's been a stressful past few weeks for me, so I apologize for how that may affect the quality of my posts and my general grumpiness.

I feel extremely tired and stressed right now, so responses might not be of the highest quality, I apologize.
Bio
Well hello, what are you doing here, my friend?
Well, if you're still here and you wish to know more about me, then:
I'm a 22 fella who's currently in college and is trying to RP while attending college at the same time. I've been into roleplaying since about the mid 2013's, though I was really bad at it during the first year or so. I "migrated" to RPGuild around 4 years ago since the previous site had banned roleplaying due to a large influx of newbie roleplayers polluting the site with shitty RP's. Either way, since then I've been on this site quite regularly, except during a few occasions when real life took precedence and I had to vanish for a month or two.
As for writing capabilities, I'd like to think myself right now that I'm somewhere in-between casual and advanced levels of writing, though if I'm really into an RP, I'll tend to force myself to write something advanced. As for writing in general, you don't have to worry about that, I really love writing and I do it all the time even when I'm not roleplaying, though there are "dry" periods when my creativity seems to vanish for no discernible reason. General interests include most types of fantasy writing as long as it's properly written, though it has happened in the past for me to be interested in something when I thought I would like it, so if you have an idea and you want to roleplay, then pitch it to me and I'll tell you if I like it or not. As for smut, well, I'm not actively looking for one, but if you think you have an interesting idea, then feel free to pitch it to me.
Well, that's about it, if you want to know more personal stuff about me, or simply wish to have someone to talk to about any topic you so desire, then feel free to PM me.

The commander agrees and leaves along with the remaining garrison and a good chunk of the civilian population. Nevertheless, more bloodshed was avoided. However, not two days after Kai occupied the fortress that news of a Valgraadi force heading to re-take fortress arose. It was larger than the Tzieni force.
Meanwhile, a man armored in Stygian steel armor, accompanied by several of the rather famous Shadow Guardians arrived in court... then a dozen people carrying a cage arrived. In it was a creature that could be best described as a living shadow. It's glare unnerved everyone there.
"Thank you for welcoming us, Emperor!" the man armored in the refined Stygian Steel spoke, he was the Grandmaster of the Shadow Guardians. "We have something to discuss."

"My king, with all due respect, we never sent a messenger until now for fear of the messenger being intercepted by the Sequini." The dignitary said, looking absolutely confused before shaking his head. "But I suppose that now that the snake already bit, the venom is making it's effects." the man sighed. "I see that fear of the Sequini has taken hold of you, my king."
However, the messenger smiled and said. "Shall I take this as a refusal, my king?" the dignitary asked Ernst.

Nastrond@Mardox
King Nieldun Gildedtongue, with advice from one of his trusted lords, has decided to intervene in the Valgraadi succession war on the side of Lord Leighton of Dolgathrasar and forming an temporary alliance with the other contender, Lord Highmall.
With that, a 80.000 man army marches south towards the fortress of Ullin, a stronghold of the Bastard, the third claimant to the Valgraadi throne. The troops, despite the distance make a record time, though mostly thanks to the help of Lord Highmall's scouts and soon surround the fortress itself, who is guarded by about 8.500 defenders, mostly militia, but a few professional soldiers as well.
The Nastrondi attackers start building siege engines, such as trebuchetes, mantlets and siege towers and bring in their arsenal a creature many had thought long dead, a massive arch-demon. The sight of the terrifying arch-demon significantly lowers the morale of the soldiers there and discourages them from any night raids they might think of launching.
As soon as the last siege engines are complete, a massive assault begins on the fortress from all sides. The trebuchetes pound at the thick walls, barely cracking it, however, the hellfire of the arch-demon makes short work of some wall sections of the fortress.
As soon as the siege towers connect with the walls and the troops charge, the morale of the defenders begins to waver. A full on charge through the breaches of the wall breaks the militia, both physically and mentally and begin surrendering en masse with only a few professional Iron Guards resisting to the bitter end.
With this, Ullin has been seized by the Nastrondi attackers and their flag flies proudly on the battlements of the fortress.
RESULTS:
Nastrondi Victory:
Casualties:
Nastrond: 1.500 spearmen, 2.000 swordsmen, 950 archers, 800 cavalry
The Kingdom of Valgraad: 7.500 militia, 500 spearmen, 250 swordsmen, 200 archers, 45 cavalry, 5 Iron Guards.
News also arrive that the Emperor of Sha'an Tzien has also invaded Valgraad from the east and that the Shalorni are preparing an invasion fleet to head towards Valgraad.
The Royal Island of Gnyr Shalorn
News had begun trickling to the mainland that a massive imperial fleet of over three hundred ships was preparing to launch an invasion onto the continent. Though that at first started only as mere rumors, it soon turned out to be true as said fleet moved swiftly from Gnry Adeer and headed directly towards the port city of Reyksalar of the Kingdom of Valgraad with an army of 85.000 men on board said ships. Another invasion would be happening soon.
As soon as the ships launched, the emperor declared that he is not doing this simply to conquer, but to restore order to Valgraad, who had now collapsed into a civil war between three factions. News speak of massive troops movements on the Royal Island.
The Kingdom of Noatun
With news trickling down from Gnyr Shalorn that the Imperial armies and the Imperial Fleet were on the move, the King of Noatun, fearing for the independence of his own country, called a stop to all raids and gathered his entire fleet back home and ordered all of his minor lords to raise their levies, for they would battle soon.
In order to further secure their situation and assure an alliance with Sylvanyr, he married his eldest daughter to the second son of the king of Sylvanyr in exchange for an assurance that if Gnyr Shalorn would attack either of them, the other would jump in to aid one another.
The Kingdom of Valgraad
The fractured kingdom had broken up into a civil war, with three factions vying for the control of the Mountain Throne. The first was Lord Leighton of Dolgathrasar who claimed the throne via his grandfather, who had sired two children, on which would become the lord of Dolgathrasar. He is supported by the king of Nastrond, Nieldun Gildedtongue.
The second claimant was Lord Highmall of Gisting and with support from the lords of Sachaila and Nyrath. Instead of a blood claim, he claims the Mountain Throne via a right of conquest as it was natural in the olden days. Though he is not supported by any foreign power, he has made an alliance with his rival claimant of Dolgathrasar and King Nieldun Gildedtongue against the Bastard of Utgaard.
The Bastard, though being supported by most of the lords of Valgraad, he soon faced himself in a very dire situation. Not was Nastrond using this as an opportunity to invade, but his two rival claimants had also allied with one another to defeat him. To make it only worse, the Jade Empire launched an invasion of the now divided Valgraad, putting the Bastard in a very dire situation. When news of a massive Imperial Fleet heading towards Reyksalar arrived, one expected for the Valgraadi fleet to be mobilized to repel the invasion.
But instead, the fleet was received with open arms by the Bastard who had earned the support of the Shalorni Emperor in return for the port city. Now, the Bastard had the support of a 90.000 man imperial army and of a fleet of over 300 ships at the ready to relieve his current situation. The 90.000 man army now marched towards the city of Ullur with the support of Valgraadi scouts to help them around the area.
The Kingdom of Sylvanyr
Perhaps from wariness, or simply to reassure their Noatuni friends. The Kingdom of Sylvanyr decided to form a coalition against the now aggressive emperor of Gnyr Shalorn and raised three armies of 50.000 each to reinforce the cities of Cyniweiryth, Deouinaeth and Ariannu in case the imperial forces decided to move south instead of aiding their ally.
Despite all this, the rich kingdom did not yet cease trade with the Royal Island as massive influxes of gold came from the island and wouldn't yet risk to stop this rich trade with them.
The king, hearing rumors of rebellion within the Sequini territories, showed a great deal of sympathy towards them and not only offered them monetary support, but also offered to marry his fourth daughter to the rebel leader who decided to crown himself king of a Neo-Wolastra instead of re-joining the current Kingdom of Wolastra.
The Empire of Tar Sequinus
The Emperor of Tar Sequinus, probably forseeing the imminent rebellion, or perhaps simply planning for another conquest, had ordered a 100.000 man army to move in the port city of Zilicati. And as soon as the last soldiers had gathered to the city, the rebellion had started in Lautun, Ceia, Celator and Alesia.
Nearly a quarter of the population these cities had risen up to join the rebel army. Originally, the rebel army had only been 45.000 men strong, but the support of the populace, their army grew to a size of 92.000 men ready to lay down their lives for their independence. Though the two armies are loath to engage one another, the 92.000 man rebel army - led by the King of Neo-Wolastra Dorius Marblood - moved north slowly, with the people flocking to his army.
Not to mention it, the Queen of Airgiallne, Merya Shadowborn offered monetary support for the rebels and a few advisors to help them in a future battle. Meanwhile, the King of Sylvanyr, Garius Morwood not only offered monetary support but also tied himself to the rebel king by marrying his fourth daughter to him.
The Kingdom of Wolastra@bluetommy2
True to their word, rebels had risen up in four previously Wolastran cities and they seemed to have massive support of the population as the rebel army of only 45.000 soon reached up to numbers of 92.000 and still growing, with even non-wolastrans joining the rebel army.
Not to mention the monetary support that the rebels received from the King Garius Morwood of Sylvanyr and Alois' betrothed, Queen Merya offered monetary support the rebel king who now called himself the King of Neo-Wolastra.
However, despite professing a kinghood himself, a dignitary from the rebels arrives with an offer. The man bows as befit to a king speaks. "His highness, King Darius Marblood wishes to tell you proud king, that he desires to place himself under your own protection as a vassal king." the man, despite what had happened to the previous messenger, bowed courteously.
The Tarsequini ambassador in Wolastra rose from his seat, a look of outrage on his face. "King Ernst, please send this man away, he clearly does not know the meaning of common sense... especially after the threats of the last messenger!"
The dignitary looked utterly confused. "My king... we did not send any messengers until now."
However, the Tarsequini ambassador did not seem to believe him one bit. "And now you lie?!" the ambassador asked. "Know you no decency, you vile rebels?!"
"Be quiet ambassador, you are not only interrupting the king, but you are making an unnecessary ruckus!" he said to the ambassador with furrowed brows.
"Very well, let the king decide what he shall do with this liar!" the ambassador scoffed, now looking with disgust at the rebel dignitary.
The Tribes of Kalak Doman/The Kingdom of Airgiallne
For most of the month, the tribes did not do anything other than their usual movements throughout their territories and local raids for supplies and small patches of territories. All except the tribes of Theveste, Malak'a and Natayn who all of them launch raids into the territory of the kingdom of Airgiallne, sacking villages and small towns on the borders, killing all the men and enslaving the women and children.
Battle of Thosoriuos
However, as soon the tribal army of Theveste of 120.000 cavalry in size began sacking a town quite deep into Airgiallne, they found themselves ambushed by a 90.000 man army led by the Airgiallni queen as soon as she had arrived from a diplomatic mission in Wolastra. The massive cavalry force, unable to maneuver in the tight streets of the town were at a disadvantage.
However, the Airgiallni archers rained down hell on the cavalry and the spearmen covered all exits from the city, sealing the forces inside and preventing their exit. Little else is known, as the 20.000 Shadowmen of Airgiallne surge in the town. All the lights and torches go out of the town and almost nobody really sees what happens.
After an hour, the Shadowmen surge out of the town, having sustained only 800 losses at the slaughter of the Theveste tribal army. This causes a lot of rumors to float around that the Airgiallni signed a pact with the Shadowbeasts to slaughter the Domani forces or that they made pacts with actual demons to slaughter the forces. Whatever the truth, the 120.000 man army of the Domani is slaughtered.
RESULTS:
Airgiallni Decisive Victory:
Casualties:
Domani Tribe of Theveste: 30.000 shock cavalry, 50.000 melee cavalry, 30.000 archer cavalry, 10.000 nomadic cavalry
The Kingdom Airgiallne: 600 spearmen, 300 swordsmen, 100 archers, 85 cavalry, 800 Shadowmen.
The Sack of Theveste
While the majority of the Theveste army was being destroyed in Thosoriuos, a smaller Airgiallne army of 60.000 move in to destroy the tribe of Theveste, still protected by 30.000 tribesmen. The Airgiallni army, however, as in Thosoriuos, they only moved in to seal the army inside the tribal city instead of engaging the army directly.
However, this time instead of Shadowmen, a large eight foot monstrosity accompanied by 500 smaller, human sized creatures entered the city. The Domani army, seemingly succumbed to fear as they see the beast and offer little resistance to the creatures coming to slaughter them
As a result, most of the tribe is slaughtered except the surviving family members of the Khan and some women and children. As a tribe, Theveste is completely destroyed and does not exist anymore. This combined slaughter reverberated through the Domani tribes. The tribes of Malak'a and Natayn remove their armies from Airgiallne in fear and form a small confederation in fear of being destroyed like Theveste.
RESULTS:
Airgiallni Decisive Victory:
Casualties:
Domani Tribe of Theveste: 14.500 shock cavalry, 5.500 melee cavalry, 7.000 archer cavalry, 3.000 nomadic cavalry
The Kingdom Airgiallne: 1200 spearmen, 800 swordsmen, 450 archers, 200 cavalry, 4 Shadow Fiends.
The Emirate of Mtol Darask/The Kingdom of Anqallyt
The militaristic Kingdom of Anqallyt, after gathering riches so many years of trading with foreign powers and accumulating a massive amount of wealth, has decided to mobilize it's armies and attack Mtol Darask. In order to supplement it's small army, the King of Anqallyt hired about 20.000 more mercenaries, nearly all of the mercenaries present inside the small kingdom.
It's first target was to seize the city of Mtol Daerine before moving on the capital of Avat. The 100.000 man army began it's march into the desert emirate, taking over small towns and villages without so much as fight, as most of them surrendered without a fight.
The two armies met 350 km north-west of Mtol Daerine, with the Anqallyti army numbering 100.000 while the Daraski army counted about 135.000 men. The Daraski had lined up their army in a regular fashion with infantry in the middle, archers in the back and their proud malmuk cavalry and their regular cavalry on the flanks.
The Anqallyt, however, knowing full well the rather back-handed tactics of the Daraski, fanned out it's cavalry while the spearmen formed phalanxes around the rest of the army to protect the rest of the vulnerable infantry from breaking to a organized cavalry charge of the Daraski. Should the enemy charge with only their infantry, then the swordsmen and the Sun Knights engage the enemy in close combat.
The battle begins, when the Anqallyti cavalry discovers two flanking forces of 8.500 men further away from their own army. As these soldiers were mainly swordsmen and archers, the charge of the mixed cavalry forces(both mercenary and regular cavalry) break their ranks and cause their rout.
The Daraski, seeing their ambush had failed, simply charge at the now rather exposed Anqallyti army in an attempt to encircle them. The combined cavalry forces of the Daraski now charge the flanks of the enemy army while the infantry charges the center... only for a barrage of crossbow bolts to overcome them. The Anqallyti archers, instead of bows, had armed themselves with a repeating crossbow, allowing them to launch bolts at faster pace than archers. The constant barrage severly dulls the charge, and mixed in the defensive formations of the spearmen, force the cavalry to rout... only for them to be caught by the returning cavalry of Anqallyt.
The Daraski infantry, without any support from the cavalry and out-classed by the superior enemy infantry, begins to rout en-masse. The Anqallyti cavalry cuts down a great deal of them before returning back to the main force, who now continues to go towards Mtol Daerine
RESULTS:
Anqallyt Victory:
Casualties:
Kingdom of Anqallyt: 2.500 spearmen, 1.500 swordsmen, 1.200 arhcers, 875 cavalry, 25 Sun Knights
The Emirate of Mtol Darask: 35.000 spearmen, 15.000 swordsmen, 8.500 archers, 17.500 cavalry, 6.800 Mameluk cavalry.
The Jade Empire of Sha'an Tzien@Lauder
The armies begin to move at a steady pace, all of them thinking that they are doing the will of the emperor. Morale is unusually high considering the army is not lead by the emperor or any of his relatives. The trek towards the fortress of Andraskith is undisturbed by the Valgraadi army and the 7.500 defenders of the fortress chose to stay inside the high and strong walls and defend from there until reinforcements might arrive.
The besieging army starts to dig trenches at a safe distance from the arrow fire of the defenders. However, not all the besiegers stay away. From the skies above, 10 large flying reptilians drop large boulders on the fortress walls and towers in an attempt to create an opening, while from on top of them, their riders rain down arrows on the defenders, racking quite a lot of casualties.
In the second month of the siege and after so many daily bombardments, the commander of the garrison agrees to term on the conditions that he and his men are allowed to leave the fortress unharmed, to allow any civilians that want to leave the fortress do so unharmed and that the citizens that choose to stay to be left unharmed.
The commander of the siege, Kai Nara relays the terms to the emperor and asks if they should agree to these rather advantageous terms for the besieged.
Meanwhile, two messages arrive, one from the Grandmaster of the Order of Ashkanian and the other from the Grandmaster of the Shadow Guardians. The first letter contains a warning from the Grandmaster of Ashkanian to not assault the Valgraadi any further as they are staunch believers of the Imperial Faith, continuing with the aggression will warrant a crusade against the Jade Emperor.
The second, more polite letter from the Grandmaster of the Shadow Guardians asks for an audience with the emperor to discuss a great issue with the Jade Emperor.
The Tribes of Toran
While the Torani tribes are now mostly quiet, with the tribes trading with one another and with the Sylvanyr. However, rumors start to rise up that the Torani are mobilizing their entire armies making other nations a big suspicious as the Torani are very close allies with Sylvanyr and if they are preparing for war it means that Sylvanyr is preparing for war,

"Be quiet ambassador, you are not only interrupting the king, but you are making an unnecessary ruckus!" he said to the ambassador with furrowed brows.
"Very well, let the king decide what he shall do with this liar!" the ambassador scoffed, now looking with disgust at the rebel dignitary.
The Tribes of Kalak Doman/The Kingdom of Airgiallne
For most of the month, the tribes did not do anything other than their usual movements throughout their territories and local raids for supplies and small patches of territories. All except the tribes of Theveste, Malak'a and Natayn who all of them launch raids into the territory of the kingdom of Airgiallne, sacking villages and small towns on the borders, killing all the men and enslaving the women and children.
Battle of Thosoriuos
However, as soon the tribal army of Theveste of 120.000 cavalry in size began sacking a town quite deep into Airgiallne, they found themselves ambushed by a 90.000 man army led by the Airgiallni queen as soon as she had arrived from a diplomatic mission in Wolastra. The massive cavalry force, unable to maneuver in the tight streets of the town were at a disadvantage.
However, the Airgiallni archers rained down hell on the cavalry and the spearmen covered all exits from the city, sealing the forces inside and preventing their exit. Little else is known, as the 20.000 Shadowmen of Airgiallne surge in the town. All the lights and torches go out of the town and almost nobody really sees what happens.
After an hour, the Shadowmen surge out of the town, having sustained only 800 losses at the slaughter of the Theveste tribal army. This causes a lot of rumors to float around that the Airgiallni signed a pact with the Shadowbeasts to slaughter the Domani forces or that they made pacts with actual demons to slaughter the forces. Whatever the truth, the 120.000 man army of the Domani is slaughtered.
RESULTS:
Airgiallni Decisive Victory:
Casualties:
Domani Tribe of Theveste: 30.000 shock cavalry, 50.000 melee cavalry, 30.000 archer cavalry, 10.000 nomadic cavalry
The Kingdom Airgiallne: 600 spearmen, 300 swordsmen, 100 archers, 85 cavalry, 800 Shadowmen.
The Sack of Theveste
While the majority of the Theveste army was being destroyed in Thosoriuos, a smaller Airgiallne army of 60.000 move in to destroy the tribe of Theveste, still protected by 30.000 tribesmen. The Airgiallni army, however, as in Thosoriuos, they only moved in to seal the army inside the tribal city instead of engaging the army directly.
However, this time instead of Shadowmen, a large eight foot monstrosity accompanied by 500 smaller, human sized creatures entered the city. The Domani army, seemingly succumbed to fear as they see the beast and offer little resistance to the creatures coming to slaughter them
As a result, most of the tribe is slaughtered except the surviving family members of the Khan and some women and children. As a tribe, Theveste is completely destroyed and does not exist anymore. This combined slaughter reverberated through the Domani tribes. The tribes of Malak'a and Natayn remove their armies from Airgiallne in fear and form a small confederation in fear of being destroyed like Theveste.
RESULTS:
Airgiallni Decisive Victory:
Casualties:
Domani Tribe of Theveste: 14.500 shock cavalry, 5.500 melee cavalry, 7.000 archer cavalry, 3.000 nomadic cavalry
The Kingdom Airgiallne: 1200 spearmen, 800 swordsmen, 450 archers, 200 cavalry, 4 Shadow Fiends.
The Emirate of Mtol Darask/The Kingdom of Anqallyt
The militaristic Kingdom of Anqallyt, after gathering riches so many years of trading with foreign powers and accumulating a massive amount of wealth, has decided to mobilize it's armies and attack Mtol Darask. In order to supplement it's small army, the King of Anqallyt hired about 20.000 more mercenaries, nearly all of the mercenaries present inside the small kingdom.
It's first target was to seize the city of Mtol Daerine before moving on the capital of Avat. The 100.000 man army began it's march into the desert emirate, taking over small towns and villages without so much as fight, as most of them surrendered without a fight.
The two armies met 350 km north-west of Mtol Daerine, with the Anqallyti army numbering 100.000 while the Daraski army counted about 135.000 men. The Daraski had lined up their army in a regular fashion with infantry in the middle, archers in the back and their proud malmuk cavalry and their regular cavalry on the flanks.
The Anqallyt, however, knowing full well the rather back-handed tactics of the Daraski, fanned out it's cavalry while the spearmen formed phalanxes around the rest of the army to protect the rest of the vulnerable infantry from breaking to a organized cavalry charge of the Daraski. Should the enemy charge with only their infantry, then the swordsmen and the Sun Knights engage the enemy in close combat.
The battle begins, when the Anqallyti cavalry discovers two flanking forces of 8.500 men further away from their own army. As these soldiers were mainly swordsmen and archers, the charge of the mixed cavalry forces(both mercenary and regular cavalry) break their ranks and cause their rout.
The Daraski, seeing their ambush had failed, simply charge at the now rather exposed Anqallyti army in an attempt to encircle them. The combined cavalry forces of the Daraski now charge the flanks of the enemy army while the infantry charges the center... only for a barrage of crossbow bolts to overcome them. The Anqallyti archers, instead of bows, had armed themselves with a repeating crossbow, allowing them to launch bolts at faster pace than archers. The constant barrage severly dulls the charge, and mixed in the defensive formations of the spearmen, force the cavalry to rout... only for them to be caught by the returning cavalry of Anqallyt.
The Daraski infantry, without any support from the cavalry and out-classed by the superior enemy infantry, begins to rout en-masse. The Anqallyti cavalry cuts down a great deal of them before returning back to the main force, who now continues to go towards Mtol Daerine
RESULTS:
Anqallyt Victory:
Casualties:
Kingdom of Anqallyt: 2.500 spearmen, 1.500 swordsmen, 1.200 arhcers, 875 cavalry, 25 Sun Knights
The Emirate of Mtol Darask: 35.000 spearmen, 15.000 swordsmen, 8.500 archers, 17.500 cavalry, 6.800 Mameluk cavalry.
The Jade Empire of Sha'an Tzien@Lauder
The armies begin to move at a steady pace, all of them thinking that they are doing the will of the emperor. Morale is unusually high considering the army is not lead by the emperor or any of his relatives. The trek towards the fortress of Andraskith is undisturbed by the Valgraadi army and the 7.500 defenders of the fortress chose to stay inside the high and strong walls and defend from there until reinforcements might arrive.
The besieging army starts to dig trenches at a safe distance from the arrow fire of the defenders. However, not all the besiegers stay away. From the skies above, 10 large flying reptilians drop large boulders on the fortress walls and towers in an attempt to create an opening, while from on top of them, their riders rain down arrows on the defenders, racking quite a lot of casualties.
In the second month of the siege and after so many daily bombardments, the commander of the garrison agrees to term on the conditions that he and his men are allowed to leave the fortress unharmed, to allow any civilians that want to leave the fortress do so unharmed and that the citizens that choose to stay to be left unharmed.
The commander of the siege, Kai Nara relays the terms to the emperor and asks if they should agree to these rather advantageous terms for the besieged.
Meanwhile, two messages arrive, one from the Grandmaster of the Order of Ashkanian and the other from the Grandmaster of the Shadow Guardians. The first letter contains a warning from the Grandmaster of Ashkanian to not assault the Valgraadi any further as they are staunch believers of the Imperial Faith, continuing with the aggression will warrant a crusade against the Jade Emperor.
The second, more polite letter from the Grandmaster of the Shadow Guardians asks for an audience with the emperor to discuss a great issue with the Jade Emperor.
The Tribes of Toran
While the Torani tribes are now mostly quiet, with the tribes trading with one another and with the Sylvanyr. However, rumors start to rise up that the Torani are mobilizing their entire armies making other nations a big suspicious as the Torani are very close allies with Sylvanyr and if they are preparing for war it means that Sylvanyr is preparing for war,

She sighed at hearing about the comment about Reinhardt and said to Ernst. "Maybe he's not a prince anymore, but he is still your son and nothing will change this fact." she spoke, as if she had already had to deal with a similar situation. "You may keep him out of court, but I'm sure that you will feel a bit better knowing he's safe."
Merya smiled brightly and actually blushed at hearing the comment Alois had made. "And here I thought that your brother was the charming sort of man." she said. "Very well, to make a compromise, we will marry in 6 months back in Airgiallne so my own lords can see who their king would be... until then, consider our nations to have a non-aggression treaty with one another."
"I never understood either, my king, as I would have rather been on the battlefield than on a throne." she said. "My lords, I will leave you, but I will be seeing you in six months!" with that, she bowed before Ernst and Alois before she herself exited from the throne room.

Done! You may answer now! It wasn't a hassle, I was the one being hasty in removing it in the first place.

I saw that you weren't answering to the post and I wanted to hurry along since the "turn" would end soon.
If you want, I'll re-edit to say what did before so you cam answer.

As long as you don't come near the capital solar system, they won't attack you without questioning you first. But I'd say to leave the RP'ing for the actual RP.
