The Middle Way - Faerun EA [Need Replacement]

[Hellboy]

Izzyz is having some technical difficulties, and has requested an extension. I've reset the server, but we're just waiting on Pangaea/Dedas and Yomi/Izzyz so I'm still hoping will host soon (it sounds like there's at least a chance Izzyz will figure things out tonight).

Hi all,
I'm sorry for the delay, but I'm now up and running, and my turn is in.

Abysia is proud to announce a very special offer. For the low, low, price of 30 death gems, 35 fire gems or 40 blood slaves, we offer a rare and valuable bloodstone. This item generates earth gems as well as boosting the wielder's earth level, and it's almost impossible to forge if you don't have the paths for it.

One bloodstone per nation. No frost giants.

Fellow Faerunites,
I guess that there is no need for score graphs anymore, even if they were turned on. Helheim came pouring over my borders last turn, and makes a convincing claim for first place. He came not just with with the expected huge armies, but with, count 'em, three air queens, three water queens, three fire kings, and at least one earth king, all tricked out with bling. I saw Aegis and Tempest, and might have missed other uniques. Scouts report at least one Tartarian as well. He has the whole NW corner of the map, including all of late Marverni, without ever having had to fight a human opponent for it.
Does the phrase 'clear and present danger' mean anything to anyone? It is time to put aside our petty bickering, and open our eyes to the real threat to Faerun. It is not a global enchantment, it is a growing global power. Can anyone doubt that if he succeeds in taking me down he will become unstoppable?
The crisis is at hand, and now is the time for action. His capital is at #194, and all of his heavy hate is currently directed at me. Let the world be warned.

Is it possible that the Lords of Atlantis might now acknowledge that not all the ills of the world have been ushered in by T'ien Ch'i? And is it possible, Atlantis, that your pupils have done too well under your tutelage? We suspect that if the Lords of Atlantis were to turn their hand towards the "'clear and present danger" represented by Helheim, we believe no other nation could counter their strength so well. Still, if despite this obvious threat Atlantis insists on dedicating itself to vengance upon T'ien Ch'i, we have faith that we will find the strength to resist this tidal wave out of Helheim.

Da-yu,
High Priest of Pak Taelin,
T'ien Ch'i
