Pesky Riombarians. I told you they were trouble. Not that I fancy your new realm that much more, but Riombara was an honorless Plague then--and continues to be now. Lady Doc's Biatch

Ah, an old friend...excellent! Riombara being an honourless Plague? Last time I checked it was Luz not keeping their treaties...but we could discuss this for hours and not get anywhere. The difference being that Luz /thinks/ they keep their treaties, the problem is that said treaties keep changing their meanings...or are only valid if they favor Luz, while the same treaty is invalid as long as it favors Riombara...grin. Its a bit difficult to know in advance what Luz considers 'keeping treaties'. I think that stems part from your assumption that Luz (or Eno Chia beforehand) was perfectly in their rights telling all surrounding realms to hand them their regions or face destruction, defining unwillingness to comply as 'illegal' and resistance as 'resisting the perfect peace that would come into existence once Luz had control of (insert whatever regions are necessary) and thus warmongery (- which of course needed to be exterminated - all in the name of peace naturally. Personally I very much prefer to be attacked by someone who states 'I want your land!', then fight it out. Someone saying 'I want your land, but I am the good one because reason 1-3'...ah well. All that propaganda spouted does nothing but try to keep the selfimage of the one spouting it shiny...it usually has little effect on anyone else. The current war between Luz and Riombara was sparked as usual by Luz wanting Riombaran lands, all else is little more than byplay - and leading nowhere. It should be possible to come to a peaceagreement with Luz soon and that should (hopefully) end this age's conflict between them...until the next age...grin TanSerrai

Your article shows a blatantly incorrect fact. Total combat strengths: 12365 vs. 16700. --The1exile 17:59, 26 January 2007 (CET)

Oh woah and suffering! I got CS estimates wrong by 1k CS! The world must be ending! Thanks for pointing it out, and no thanks for your complete rudeness. Can't you learn some manners someday, Gorch? Vellos 22:46, 26 January 2007 (CET)
Not really. I am not inclined to be polite to foes when a great man and a good friend fell in battle today. --The1exile 23:02, 26 January 2007 (CET)


How the hell is attacking KoA a response to Fronen's move on RoF!?! -Chénier 19:07, 11 February 2007 (CET)

I hate to agree with a rebel, but in this case Chenier is correct. Fronen threatens to attack Fwuvoghor and your precious lover. Because of this you take revenge on Alluran? Alluran has absolutely nothing to do with this. Fronen is not even allied to Alluran. Fronen's approval of Alluran stems from the old adages "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" and "the friend of my friend is my friend." Indeed, attacking them does nothing to encourage us to stop our planned assault. In fact, it only strengthens our resolve, encourages us to make greater haste, and gets you wounded in the process. Truly you decision is incomprehensible to anyone of sound mind.

Regardless though of how irrational your choice of targets was, the world sees what good it did. Your capital is now occupied. Congratulations on your pyrrhic victory in Eno. If this is what you call victory then I hope you meet with similar "success." --Alex 19:25, 11 February 2007 (CET) (Character: Alexius)

  • The victory in Eno not pyrrhic. The forces of Alluran have been reduced to a handful of soldiers, Brovyl has been reclaimed by Luz de Bia, and Xween and Eno will follow soon. That will put Alluran out of the picture, and allow Luz de Bia and Irombrozia to focus on Riombara. -Pizarro 20:19, 11 February 2007 (CET)
    • Yes, our capitol is occupied. That's irrelevant. It's happenned before. The Riombarans aren't even looting! It's grand! They're just burning walls. bah, no problem. The Luz de Bians smashed our walls to a mere moat and bailey! The attack on KoA... well, I can't presume to explain my royal half-brother's mind, it seems an odd strategic choice to me, but I am little concerned with strategy. But, do note, even if Irombrozia's army had been in Irombro... the battle still probably would not have been a victory. Vellos 20:26, 11 February 2007 (CET)

While you may view occupation of your capital as a good thing, I assure you that Fronen's victory to come will change your tune. --Alex 22:03, 11 February 2007 (CET) (Character: Alexius)

Pizarro, mate, have you ever seen a capital tried to be taken over? Eno will not "shortly follow", especially with the majority of the Luz + Enweil armies retreating north. And Hireshmont, what the heck do you build your walls out of if we can burn them? I hope it's gingerbread... --The1exile 22:07, 11 February 2007 (CET)

Why, the corpses of our enemies, naturally. Vellos 01:27, 12 February 2007 (CET)

Government, Artisan's, and Peasant Quarters... what is the fourth quarter? --Alex 01:30, 14 February 2007 (CET) (Character: Alexius)

Ahem, yes, forgot to mention that, didn't I? That would be the Monument Quarter, where the opera house, gymnasium, statues of our heroes, museum of art, and a satellite campus of the Grand Temple are, and where this press happens to be located. And don't forget the Fifth Quarter, which is the underground area that's a constant party and monk-chanting jam session. Naturally, the 4th and 5th quarters are under Irombrozian control still. Riombarans don't have enough of a sense of humor or enjoyment of the finer things in life to be able to survive stepping foot in those parts of the city: the sheer amount of culture and heritage in the air would probably suffocate them. Vellos 03:40, 14 February 2007 (CET)
Well, I might not have a sense of humor, but you got the suffocating part right: I nearly was when an overlarge tapestry depicting a certain Lord Hireshmont 6 or 7 times larger than lifesize did fall off a wall and covered me. And that only because I tried to rearrange that thing a bit...aparently the artisans made it too large, so the top part of that wall hanging showing the head of Hireshmont hat to be fixed to the ceiling...and they did not align it correctly. While trying to repair that, the thing fell off. A dastardly assasination attempt, I am sure. I'll never be able to live down the jokes of my soldiers because they had to pull me out from under it feetfirst. But one thing still interests me...pray tell, why exactly does Hireshmont wear 9 crowns on that wall hanging? All different and some a bit too large? TanSerrai 10:32, 14 February 2007 (CET)
