[@Sadko] I didn't see your NS earlier, but I really it. Getting a big Gormenghast vibe from it--are you a fan perhaps? Also, quick question: is there anyone who would like to ally with Öspa? Although Öspa usually likes to maintain its neutrality, it has been known to make strategic marriage alliances from time to time. I would be open to having the Queen Dowager, the mother of King Enní, be from a marriage alliance with one of our other nations. Any takers?
