Didn't we see Shenhua represented as a perfect, floating city when she did that exhibition match at the Sect? An interesting counterpoint to the Sky Palace. Imagine the aggressive third wheeling if she finds out about it :V

I find it super funny that everyone on Emerald Seas side is like, "Oh yeah, the Duchess could just laser beam the Sky Palace to death, no worries". Feels like there's a bit of a cult of personality going on there. It's hard to blame CRX given all the trauma, but by all accounts the Sky Palace is some combination of two Whites, potentially on the cusp of Great Spirithood. I'd expect Xia Ren to be a bit more worried about it tbh - I know I would be.

Shenhua's ability to nuke things with cleansing fire is, by all accounts, notable even among White cultivators. There's certainly some cult of personality there, but not as much as you might think.

Just realized that this realm restriction treaty is likely to mess with us specifically at least if Li continues to live here and advances to the higher stages of cultivation.

Our territory is not in the unclaimed region, claimed Imperial territory is fucking massive. If we're still personally conducting diplomacy with them at the Violet realm I'm sure that scheduled diplomatic travel that follows the designated roads would be fine. More likely we'll have Biyu and/or some other Yellow-Cyan subordinates speaking to them on our behalf at that stage given their distaste for higher realms being directly involved in stuff like that even aside from this particular treaty.
 
This whole time we've been wringing our hands about the 12 Star khan and star thing being prisims when Ilsur's dad is all I'm a city now guess what realm that makes me.

Lol. Lmao even

I would say Shenhua could take on the Sky Palace pretty much any day of the week. The Skypalace, while it looks like it will be amazing and impressive, will also be a city with people who need protection. Shenhua would not need to divert any attention or resources to that goal. While we understood her as a city in that fight, she is not actually a city with real people living inside of her like the Sky Palace would be.
 
Is nobody voting???

[X] Suggest in the interest of authority and further warding against tribal violence that outposts in the unclaimed section be fully shared structures, staffed by personnel from both nations. (-1 WP favorability, -1 PT Favorability. Improved road defenses and further mingling and cultural contact. Better response time to incursions against the road.)

Message received, Yrsillar. Everyone, we've been too unambitious, our eyes set too low as we naval gazed and worried about minor matters like "preventing war", "accumulating merits", "overthrowing Shenhua" etc. Xuan Shi showed us the way, now all that's left is to commit: The Lord of The High Gardens will swim, not through the seas like his lesser kin, but through the skies. The base earth shall not hold him. If our boy will isn't floating up to nibble on Xiangmen's best leaves throughout his life, then we've failed him as a parent.

EDIT: Pathetic worm that I am, I was still thinking too small. I say, Discworld or bust.

He's already started! Shi and Zhengui are exploring rocket turtles!

[X] Suggest alternating road outposts along the unclaimed length. But allow basing for patrols at each other's outposts, for rest and recuperation. (Minimal contact, no favorability cost, due to successes thus far.)

We already had an unexpected success in this round and reaching for more now feels like tempting fate to me.

Yeah just take the easy win. We've got things working here. Becoming friends will be a long process regardless, and we have the embassy town for that. No need to jump the gun here.

already planned on -1 WP from the last vote that ended up negated, might as well still spend it so we can go maximum unity
