Wow, Mithras, I didn't know you had a druid pretender. Strange how things worked out.
I've wanted to comment on the religious ironies, too, for some time. You see, Nemausius is the celtic god of springs. I've chosen the name because he is a spring. Now it turns out I'm cornered by Niefel and Caelum who have both a strong dominion and my dominion is pushed outwards into the water. The fishes really seem to know who is their patron.
And officially:
The tribes arrived in these lands before Sauromatia. The land has been worked and now the sauromatians come with their horses and historical claims and offer us a measly sum of 500 gold for the return of land that was never theirs.
Outrageous as this may be we will have to rethink our actions.
