Oh I calmed down once we made friends with Khemetri-kun. Letting go of the stress was wonderful.
Now you may ask what the hork the Khem have to do with this since it was the Trelli that caused my transformation. The answer is that I am now plotting and waiting. To deliver the best karma to the Trelli.
I have time for the perfect response to them. Muahhahahaha...
The Khem merely gave me something to giggle over and de-stress.

Oop if that happens the Universe has a Problem.

I just want to go to war with the Trelli and absorb them so we finally possess their land and have a nice neat circle. Our hideously disorganized borders, the wide, exposed coastal territories irritate me.
Conquering the Trelli so that we finally have a Ymaryn Sea which can only be reached through a city basically designed to prevent passage sounds damned nice. Sure, we'll probably lose another 50k in soldiers but at least we'll finally have safety. And a circle. Mostly the circle.

Observe their finery! How it glistens and wriggles!
Truly the best to be found in Existence!
And whatever Crow drinks I am sure it is palatable to one such as I.

Plus, dominating the Not!Black Sea would give us a stupid amount of strategic mobility against any nomad armies that attacked us from the north or west.

It is known.
The great old one Heridity cannot be beaten, only delayed.
It is known.
The People struggle, and yet he pulls even the mightiest into his service, with silken strings of love and devotion, their minds bent to serve him.
Yet, there is a prophecy, that one day, a hero will arrive that will strike down this ancient evil.
He will listen to the lightning, find meaning and bend it to its will. He will tame Gygo and ride on a horse of Quicksilver.
It is known.
He will strike down heridity and restore harmony.

And then when the decades pass and the hero walks the breadth of the land he saved, he looks upon the people and despairs. Tyranny and collectivism rules the land with a bloody iron fist. The people naught but automata that labours for the inhuman machine of the state.
It is at that moment that a realisation strikes him; the great evil he slew was the angel of salvation, and the hammer and sickle he wielded, those holy weapons that gave him the knowledge to persever, where naught but bloodthirsty deamons bound to the metal.
He cannot reverse time, and the great machine of evil that was once an empire cannot be broken by mortal hand. And so the hero performs his last act of justice, he drives his weapons into his body. For if he cannot break the evil, he will slay its instrument.
But his arms seize midway, he looks at his hand in horror, his once olive flesh is now a dark metallic red, with pus-like yellow stars dotting it like a pox.
And so the hero spent eternity trapped in the mind of the monstrosity that now wears what was once his flesh. The eternal laughter of the red deamons ever mocking his withering sanity...

The cult of individualism is so weird. While the human collective is irrelevant on the multiversal scale, a single human is of less importance than a single electron orbiting around a single silicon atom within a galaxy's worth of sand is to the black hole that will end this world. Being of service to something greater than yourself is a worthy goal, for all that this thing that is greater than you should owe you care and pleasure in return.
I just love salt. Like, not bitter, dirty salt but fresh, dramatic salt.

The universe is what man makes of it, to make a comparison of scale should lead to exultation, for it a shows that there is an infinity to subdue and subjugate, not quivering in irrelevance at seeing that infinity!
And the humanity is singular in it will, a will inherent in every individual, man can choose to be subservient and a part of a thing greater, however you define what is greater. Or he can choose to be that greater thing, or to collaborate with other individuals to make or maintain a construct of greatness; but in the end it is an action dependant on that act of choosing. To deny the capacity for such is deny humanity.

it is my firm belief that the/a endpoint of the Harmony traitline is a hivemind, or something close to it
Joyous Symphony => Mental Unity
As the people move ever more and more in harmony with each other, they begin to be able to predict what is necessary and how it will be done. This has been worked at and worked at, until complex messages can be sent with just a movement.
Pros: 1 turn advance warning of disharmonious action, Bonus to collective action, spiritually and ecologically harmonious actions, and to concerted efforts. Gain +1 Stability every time a defensive war non-destructively ends.
Cons: Disharmony is to be corrected, require casus belli to declare war, Unnerving to neighbors

I hope so.
why are you always about subduing and subjugating?
Just love.

Please remember that GMO can be used more for than just pesticide genes. It can be used to increase crop resistance to bad weather, increase nutritional values, improve soil fertility, etc.
It is not incompatible with Ymaryn environmentalism.
