Oh right, you made them. Huh, why not vote for the Medusans directly then? Especially now that, well...

[X] Oryertokhuud Ultugir: Negotiate and gain support in the Khuraldai to end the threat of the warmongering Blessed Dominion. When war preparations are ready invade with a surprise attack on Lida Aye by cavalry and riverboat, with further plans determined by the Goktan and their war council based on the present military situation.
 
It's kind of amusing how Blessed Dominon is accused of being warmongers when it seems that it's actually everyone else who wants to declare war on us. Can't really blame the wasps for being xenophobic, tbh.

Probably going to close the vote in the next few hours
 
[X] Confederacy of Wings and Claws: Some among the priesthood seek new ways to communicate with others over long distances through astral and spiritual dreams, though often unreliable and confusing, it shows some promise. There are darker uses found still for this art, to torment rivals and more…

Can I please get someone to roll a d100? (For Global Events)
 
@AKuz, is it alright if I change votes? Found out that the Dominion doesn't want anymore war against the Tycerians and is seeking peace terms.

votes are locked in at time of me calling the vote

I copy votes over into my working document immediately afterwards, so even if you changed your vote, the old version is the one that exists for me.

sorry
