Xietor:
I am sure I do much less diplomacy than you do. But well, as you said, that may be less chaotic situation in the west that makes that

And you should decide if I am weak or not. If Ma Arco had my support against Mictlan then the latter would be losing. If you are interested in some 'favours' though, I could arrange something probably, you know the prices - they may be steep, but my necros are quite happy with their research work. It's safe and you cannot make enemies that way
And good luck to JimMorrison, maybe he will bring some new life to Helheim, no activity there for ages. Just pumping that dominion every day...
