Darka: Puppetmaster of Atamara?

Your article has a few missing pieces to it that make it sound fairly ludicrous to anyone who knows them. Firstly, the Eston operation has been largely commanded by Estons general and other military leadership. Secondly, Darkas old general had not been doing his job as well as he used to in his golden days. That is why he is now not the general any more. Combine these two facts and you get an army that does silly things like the suicide missions you've mentioned.

You also manage to neglect a very long history between Darka and Eston(and Talerium). Eston owes its existence to Darka and Darka owes the same to Eston. Darka has not forgotten that. The alliance with these two is historical and they're pretty much the only real alliances Darka has. Anything else seen on the diplomacy screen is just remnants from past contracts or the result of a current contract. Still, Darka is working under a contract to Eston as we speak.

Also, we were not under any sort of contract when we looted RedSpan to the ground. It was personal, but we're not stupid enough to think we could have fought against RedSpan, Abington and Carelia alone. Fortunately we had friends willing to help us. - LilWolf 10:19, 23 June 2007 (CEST)

Ah, I see what you mean from your first paragraph. Evidently, you are stating the incompetence of the generals of Eston and Darka, as well as this mysterious "other military leadership". I presume that you would rather blame your suicide missions on the lackwittedness of your allies. And allies they are, as you just pointed out. Yet in the end, you seem to have misunderstood my point. What was the significance of your suicide missions? Why, none else to proving your dedication to Eston as an ally, and your un-mercenary behaviour. If you were truly as mercenary as you claimed, you would have had no qualms in rejecting such foolish orders.

As for the long history between Darka and Talerium...yes, Talerium did help Darka come to the position it was today...and when Darka became a mercenary, it went against all that history, resulting in what Talerium knows as the "Darkan Betrayal". And yes, this was done for large sums of gold...and when the contract expired, Darka left. Ah, for the days when Darka was a true mercenary. Has this happened with Eston today? Darka supports Eston, yet it supports not Talerium? What kind of double-speak is this? And what is this "diplomacy screen" you speak of? A screen which conceals your true intentions?! Further connivance...if you say to the world "I am this man's friend" and then think in your heart of hearts "This man is no friend of mine"...are you not lying?

Concerning your contract to Eston...yes, you prove my point once more and even admit to outright alliance with Eston. How much need Eston pay Darka? A measly ten hundred gold? Fifteen hundred? Pshah, peanuts. Can other realms trust that their bids will be handled fairly with such favoritism? Of course not.

Finally, did I state that you actually had a contract with the Cagilan Empire? No, I said you "awaited" a contract. Perhaps I should have stated that you awaited a potential contract. Ever trying to hide your cover, you could not help but grasp at that chance.

PS-Might I know by what name you are called? I fear that the monnicker "LilWolf" says little to me.
