[Micah]

If the nations of Ulm and Pan fall Ermor will have a corner of the map, along with all of the income of our broken empires as his military outpaces his dominion, which will allow him to pop up temples and forts en masse.

I'm also sure Ermor will be much weaker later once he can summon up tartarians and really open up his magic diversity. At least rlyeh's mages cost money, which becomes problematic with their upkeep sucking freespawn and their pop-killing dominion.

In addition, we of Ulm have lost barely any ground to the undead hordes, and that only due to their clever dancing and refusing to meet our priests and steel on the field of battle. We have been holding them to a stalemate, which suggests they will have few resources to divert elsewhere if we receive assistance soon. Our nature-loving ally does not fare so well, sadly, so our time grows short before our borders become too numerous to defend, but victory is well within grasp if we have some assistance, and Ermor's threats of devastation have not visited our borders, which have long been locked in struggle with them.
