It was Marignon and not Abysia; I had expected Abysia due to the Magic+Heat heavy scales, but it was Marignon instead (much better for me by the way). Abysia is more or less in the middle of the map, while I am on the right side, so we are not neighbours (Marignon at least is between us, and other nations to the south). We are not neighbours for the few turns to come at any rate, as later on Teleport and the like will make "neighbours" a loose term.

I would much, much rather have a replacing player for Abysia as well. Ulm is in a weaker shape (more or less like the Mictlan you have seen in Yarnspinners Deccan), so it will matter less in the grand scheme, and could either go AI or be set up as beefed up provinces to take. Abysia, on the other hand, still has potential and a decent situation, and would be worth being replaced.

I cannot believe I have forgotten to make a public ad though. Give me a Flagellant to slap myself. With a Fire 9 blessing if possible.
