Not a burden, Count Elios. Never that. I remember well the Wood, and all the history there.

What it comes down to, unfortunately, is income and agriculture, against governance of the realm as a whole. We must, it seems, remove our banners from one region, else we will lose control of another territory, and we know not which.

We mean no disrespect, you can be assured of that, Count Elios. Nor do we act in haste.

Duke Do'Urden voiced the same concern, regarding a buffer for Unger. In truth, the decision was exceedingly difficult, and I'm still not happy with it. The other choice was Lastfell, which produces double the gold and food, can hold a fortification, and also borders Unger. The Wood does as well, but lacking these other advantages I had to make the hard call.
 +
 +
This was a logistics call, and while my heart is broken at the idea of abandoning any region, a decision had to be made.

Demotion, or Count's Collapse

Herein is contained the story of the Abandonment of the loyal region Wailing Wood from the realm Thalmarkin, and ensuing demotion and depression of former Count Elios Everlight. The fallout from this event is still in progress...



(Personal Letter to Elios Everlight)
My friend... The time has come. I must abandon Wailing Wood. However, if you are within reach of the region now, I can allow you to do it if you wish. Let me know, Lord Elios. We will find you a worthy region in the future.

Lady Baelunìataisharà Blue

Queen of Thalmarkin

Royal of Thalmarkin

Marshal of the Northern Fury


(Message Sent to All Nobles in Thalmarkin)
Hopefully this is the last of this ugly business...

Today we will say goodbye to Wailing Wood...a region that helped give me my reputation as a fighter. And more importantly, the region has been a longtime holding of ours, and its people frequent Unger. I've been assured they still will, despite our governance issues. And should we one day be able to expand again, the Wood will be ours again.

Lord Elois, and all who held her before - excellent work, truly.

Lady Baelunìataisharà Blue

Queen of Thalmarkin

Royal of Thalmarkin

Marshal of the Northern Fury


(Letter sent to All Nobles in Thalmarkin)
Queen Baelunìataisharà,

I must protest the idea of the removal of Thalmarkin's banners from the faithful Wailing Wood.

Wailing Wood is one of the historic regions of old Thalmarkin, bordering our ancient capital and protecting her from the wild hordes. Its people are devout and true Kin, and have been for centuries. This move will abandon our heritage, Majesty, and leave one of our great cities bald against the wildlands.

What is it that drives you to this careless and disrespectful decision? Surely the Wood is not a burden on our realm, so loyal as she is.

For the True North,


Elios Everlight
Count of Wailing Wood

Not a burden, Count Elios. Never that. I remember well the Wood, and all the history there.

What it comes down to, unfortunately, is income and agriculture, against governance of the realm as a whole. We must, it seems, remove our banners from one region, else we will lose control of another territory, and we know not which.

We mean no disrespect, you can be assured of that, Count Elios. Nor do we act in haste.

Duke Do'Urden voiced the same concern, regarding a buffer for Unger. In truth, the decision was exceedingly difficult, and I'm still not happy with it. The other choice was Lastfell, which produces double the gold and food, can hold a fortification, and also borders Unger. The Wood does as well, but lacking these other advantages I had to make the hard call.

This was a logistics call, and while my heart is broken at the idea of abandoning any region, a decision had to be made.
