Forever lies ahead

"The blue," Emily murmurs in thought.

"Even if we can, the boundary is about purifying the Far Realm," Jarem points out, "That works against us."

[Iron Dragoon]

"... Then make our own boundary. Balance, no? If one exists to purify..." Alyssa lets it hang.

[Anastasia]

"Elaborate?" Emily asks at last, as Dolmaya considers.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Well, the Blue was made to purify the Far Realm. For everything in creation, there's a balance. Elements. Chaos and Law. Good and Evil. Shouldn't there also be a place that's the opposite of the Blue to keep that balance? What's the opposing color? Orange? An Orange boundary, where we could use Io's knowledge of the Far Realms to get an upper hand on Shar. If we can pull her into it."

[Anastasia]

"A big if," Jarem muses, "If you can do all of that and you can do it safely and you can get Shar to fall into it. There's a lot of points of failure there."

"Still, it's an idea," Emily pipes up, "Can we improve it to make it better?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa grins at Jarem, "Isn't every war a series of ifs, oh great Strategist? But yes, we need to figure out first steps. Dolmaya, you and I will research and search for the inversion of the Blue. Bastian, keep pulling on threads; we need targets. Emily, Jarem, go through what Bastian finds, and talk to our allies to sort through what targets are viable for us."

[Anastasia]

"Then let's do that," Emily agrees, getting up, "We can make progress this way!"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Does anyone else have things they want to look into or accomplish, on a more personal or general level?"

[Anastasia]

"I'm busy with my faithful," Emily shakes her head.

"That's taking my focus, too," Jarem admits, "They grow on you so fast."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa taps her chin, "Maybe we should have a few of them meet... Speaking of, Lasri... I like being hospitable, but I get the feeling if I invited her to diner her heart might explode."

[Anastasia]

"She's spending time all around anyway," Emily says, "She's keeping herself very busy." A shake of her head and a big smile, "She's fit in very well here and she's a bit of a bossy leader."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa snorts, "Well, if no one has anything else, let's get some things done."

[Anastasia]

In that case, next move, Alyssa?

[Iron Dragoon]

Well, realm is still stabilizing, which includes resources and stuff. So until target info resolves, uhhh... Either a money dungeon thingy or visiting Morwel or Queen to make stronger alliance stuff. Or find new people to get alliances with.

Edit: Or start getting back to the Arcane Order. That might be a solid boost to strength.

[Anastasia]

Sure, pick one and we'll go with it.
