If that's the case, then why do I constantly hear about refugees turning up and assisting you guys defend against a raid? I can only go on what I see/hear and it doesn't fit with what your saying. If your trying to distance yourselves then that's great, but it seems to be quite a whimsical effort. Plus, the refugees are about to destroy a chunk of Nature, what are you guys planning to do about it?

Dude, when was the last time you actually took part in a raid? Or any kind of face to face conflict? Whenever I'm online and there's a raid, it's just us and them. Usually involving us huddling around taking a million years to group up until Mhaldor gets bored and tries Hashan.

That's because you guys exterminate in nearly every raid now.

Look, you made a good thread. It gives people a place to consider the new development. Great! So why are you trying to turn it into a rant? We put those in "the sewer" for a reason.

@Lodi It's been many, many ig years since any Shallamese has helped defend Eleusis. They're instantly rejected if help is offered, with the very rare exception of if we have few people around and Nature is being harmed. That's how the treaty with Ashtan was originally, and after Ashtan declared war, that's still how our rules remained. I personally have not even seen a Shallamese help defend when Nature was being harmed, either. (And, yes, by my saying "Shallamese," I mean that the last time they've done anything is when there was a Shallam. The Refugees have been denied in the same way.)

I'm not around much but I have to agree with Delphinus. I've observed exterminations as part of raids. As much as I hate seeing other cities help Eleusis against exterms, I will have to blame the forest conflict for this.

Lodi

I'll stop de-railing. Sorry, didn't mean to. Carrying it over into messages.

Are you sure most of those aren't exterms?

I guess sometimes exterms lead into an Eleusis raid, but then we can also blame the raiders for not sticking clearly to one thing and thus inviting more resistance than necessary.

EDIT: Ugh, sorry, didn't see all the posts that ninjad me.

Now, I just know everyone's as tired about reading about exterminations as I am, so let's keep posts about them elsewhere, thanks. So how about that pretty cool new Nature goddess, eh?

Yes cringe cringe! mwahaha.

How do I disagree more than once

Does anyone know what the shout by Severian was about just after Lady Gaia returned? I'm guessing they were connected. He shouted something about felling shrines as soon as they are raised.

Delphinus

Nah, that was just Cain:


Hellrazor Cain de Soulis, Sartan's Hammer shouts, "The second those shrines up, they go down. Hear that."

Consumed in the raging conflagration of Deucalion's wrath, naught but ashes remain of Cain.
Consumed in the raging conflagration of Deucalion's wrath, naught but ashes remain of Cain.

The firmament burns with white-hot fire as the pure, baritone voice of Deucalion calls out, "A gift to You, Wildwood Queen, though he's a little charred now. May you reign long over the green and growing things."

Stirring the undergrowth, the hushed cadence of the Wildwood Queen resonates, "My thanks, Lord of the Righteous Fire. Such a gift is welcomed, if not cherished."

Told you.

Yeah, looks like you have to suck to get Divine attention. I mean, look at what happened to Shallam...

Based on the Mhaldor thread, looks like you guys are also gonna get some divine attention soon.

who said anything about it being attention?? I smell war/invasion on the horizon

Edit: Every City State IG has destroyed a part of Nature by simply existing, you shouldn't be friendly with any of them.

Are you er, trolling?

If you aren't...wow.

I laughed at the part where Jacobi thought he had broken the shell (during the event).
