And considering that north was the only direction this wonderful empire didn't have an ally in, they chose to attack. They sent a very kind war declaration, stating something about heightened tensions, and feeling threatened. As well they should have, considering Falasan is well known for attacking an established enemy 10 regions larger than ourselves, especially when that particular enemy in surrounded 2 or 3 realms deep on all sides by their allies, (Henceforth referred to as "Minion Hordes" or "Minions" for short.). |

They attacked a region we had already built up. Losing half of their Army in the process. Did that stop the Mighty Cagilan Of course not. They proceeded to continue sending their young men to the slaughter. There were times I was wondering if I would have to swim back to my tent through the Cagilan blood. Eventually the Cagilan's realized that the plan of exhausting our Warriors' sword arms to death would not work. So they fell back into their lands, to put their heads together and plan their next move. |

Allowing a South-Eastern Realm to travel through our lands in order to attack them. But, upon asking around, I was hard pressed to find a noble that remembered a Protectorate of Magnus army passing through our lands, much less to attack anything. I did find one noble that recalled a single Protectorate of Magnus troop-leader passing through our lands many months previous, but surely that wasn't what had irked Talerium's temper. |

Certainly the | + | Then I looked at the Relations report from our Realm, and noticed that Caligan Empire was Allies of Talerium. Certainly the Cagilans had more pride than to beg for help from their allies against a smaller opponent. Apparently not, as the Talerium troops arrived approximately the same time as the Darka "Mercenaries". It was certainly a co-incidence that some Minions decided to attack at precisely the moment that the Cagilan Empire sacrificed their entire army on the Falasan defenders. It was certainly just a co-incidence, or so we liked to believe. |

They apparently relied on the Cagilan's old strategy. Returning to the time-old Favorite of Sacrificing their Armies upon the Falasan defenders. Granted they did have a victory or two, generally against a Noble that got lost. Their great victories involving 10k CS vs <500. That they cheered to the high-heaven. |

Much to our shock and surprise, we saw the Cagilan Empire Armies staging in Tarasac. Tara's city. But how, The Tarans had a treaty with us. Which we were in the process of renegotiating, and they kept stalling, little did we know why. We sued them to stop allowing the Cagilans to rally there. To honor our treaty. To give us a fair chance in our war, as we obviously couldn't attack the Cagilan Army inside Tarasac without breaking our treaty. The Tarans kept stalling, and delaying. As time left on our treaty dwindled away, we noticed a massing of Taran troops in Tarasac along with the Cagilans. |

But it seems to me that it is 15 Regions vs <b>78</b> region. Even to be fair, we'll say that the Minion Hordes have split their attention between Falasan and the Ash Sea Islands. So, we will lower their Region count to 50. So, Falasan's 15 Regions vs The Cagilans' and their Minion Hordes' 50 regions. And they still cannot win a clear-cut victory. |
