Having a really great time right now
Okay, so Luseng is pretty popular right now, seems like.
I think Luseng will actually ultimately depend on getting enough breathing space to drop a Prophecy. The non-aggression treaty these three have is insurmountable for our forces over a posting the size of a satrapy, but in the confusion of war, if two of these competing armies accidentally clash, that could upset the whole table. Deathlords, Elder Lunars and Fae aren't terribly rational and even-keeled; they're proud, they're eager, and they all enjoy a good scrap (I assume that the fae is enjoying a good war story, anyway, since they're all shipped to the front; if they were playing aristocrats, they'd be back in the Wyldlands). If they think one of the others attacked them to score a bigger piece of the pie...
Despite that, we can't just cut out way through whatever's in our way to the capital, and then lock ourselves in the libraries for a day. Our 'friends' being deployed with us would (try to) murder us for being a weak-willed craven just waiting to die.
So by that logic, can we scrape together enough materials to study on the way over (by the fastest deployment ship in the area, I assume)? If not, can we scrape together enough information through battle using our peerless senses to get the lay of the land for miles in every direction? If either of those are true, we should dive right in and start cutting our way through the nearest army until we've scrounged enough information for a Prophecy to set the other two factions to squabbling while we deal with the one we got stuck into. If on the other hand they require actual literature on the subject, then we may be better served with turning this into a defensive war making them bleed for every inch of ground, while we snatch stolen moments among our libraries between giving orders and going out to ambush forces we can't leave to the dragonbloods - the Abyssals, probably, or maybe the behemoths.
