Having the unfortunate experience of sharing success and defeat alongside lesser city states, Asthan revokes its allegiance to anyone but ourselves. Mhaldor, Eleusis, and Cyrene will not ride on our coat tails to taste the success that they cannot achieve on their own. In fact, if any of these cities stand in our way or attempt to take the glory for themselves, we will treat them as we do the East.


Maklak,

You should not worry. The Bastion has risen up time and time again to defeat any in our path. We have a personal vendetta against the Dragon Yudhishthira, and will not stop until he is defeated. Targossas does not have the strength to stop us (as they have clearly proven in the past), and neither will the dragon with his army.
