Lerrian and some other province plotting stuff

[thirdtimesthechar]

Okay.

Zeon has the province of Lerrian (top-right forest province on the map, established cities Ringford and Alilany) under its official dominion. However, with Rome getting established between there and the coast and the "rightful ruler" Alte-Rose perma-dead, there is really no point in the Seaside Riftguard continuing to control it. Britain and Rome border Lerrian, and the Luna's Call faction is currently in de facto control, in my estimation. Do any of you three kingdoms want to work something out? In the meantime, does anyone want to fight the Zeon armies "peacekeeping" in the area around Ringford?

Also, since the Kingdom province list seems to be out of date: does any kingdom control Chaodan yet? If not, can I have it? Plz? If not I guess I'll claim some mountains or save it for Imperial Saga II: Colonization. Alternatively, I can keep Lerrian and work out a trade deal through Britain or Rome I guess.

EDIT: Dibbing Chaodan as New Third Province once negotiations with Luna's Call and the Saberstates work out.

Finally, Sawa, Rome popping into existence kind of resulted in Sara and Mitsunari's wedding negotiations becoming moot. This needs to be addressed before those two failures loveable kids get together.

Luna's Call has an alliance with both Britain and Rome so I can work something out regarding that.

As for the Zeon armies around Ringford, how big are they? LC is based out of Alilany with 4 pcs, so they will start pressuring the 'peacekeepers' to leave while we all oocly work out the outcome.

Personally, my preference is for Lerrian to end up a 'free province' under beastman control that's not held by any specific kingdom, but that doesn't have to happen if there are better solutions than LC trying to eradicate the Zeon forces there.

While doing that to Athrun would be hilarious, we should probably work it out peacefully after a few confused skirmishes. No one here actually has an interest in all-out war.

[get_off_my_lawn]

Poor Athrun wouldn't know what hit him. I'd feel bad, so peaceful solution is best!

[thirdtimesthechar]

I think Athrun and some Beastmen should come to blows at least once, but left on his own, he'll probably start negotiating pretty fast.

[infinitejustice]

Yeah, that was my thoughts. A few skirmishes, then Athrun trying to work something out because he actually has some authority here.

[get_off_my_lawn]

Definitely! The first few skirmishes can happen once the forces get set up at Ringfort.

[revanisms]

Since Revan's back now, want him to take care of anything?

[justasplanned]

Light would be happy to renegotiate.

[thirdtimesthechar]

I should probably come up with something ahead of time this time.

Mutual Protection Pact? ...nah, it's Sawa. Diplomatically ganging up on Amestris? Those jerks are sitting on a ridiculously strategic profitable river. Hm.

I'm bad at politics.

[justasplanned]

I think it's time to bust out the more schemey things.

[thirdtimesthechar]

Keywords.

I guess a conspiracy against Amestris would be where Char would start, unless Light's into casting down all society in favor of a world of destruction that forces humanity to evolve or die. Which I guess he might be, but still, baby steps.

[justasplanned]

Light's going oddly Lightside this time around, much to my astonishment. In general though, it will likely involve a political campaign to start to discrediting Amestris's image and position. Obviously the end goal would be to force a restructure by proving they aren't doing the Riftguard duties properly.

[thirdtimesthechar]

I think the official "dowry" is going to be an on-paper alliance, and the actual goal is going to be that. Sound good?

[justasplanned]

Sounds good

Souji vs LC? ^^;
