Zephy, get your facts right before you bring it to public. We asked
Bloodloch to help us in preventing Shallam from getting all of the new
areas, some of which we previously controlled before the coming of
Lleis, Godess of Renewal. I trust easily, that is a fault I have, and
some of the members of Bloodloch spoke to me in a manner which made me
confident that I could move the defending troops at the border and move
them to protect our borders with Shallam. After all we had a treaty with
Bloodloch and Shallam and the City of the Free had their problems in the
past.

Now, regarding the need of territory, I hardly think Bloodloch needs it
more than Ashtan. The problem with the Ashtan troops was also shared by
Bloodloch troops. Please stop referring to it as solely an advantage we
had. Several Bloodloch troops did not suffer casualties when attacked,
at least three to my knowledge. I do admit fault in not noticing the
conquer of Ashtan land before, but the eyes of Ashtan were focused on
what seemed a threat, and we were involved in dialogue with Shallam to
try and resolve it.
