I thought that might be the case. So, that part of the campaign didn't happen? If so, it's fair enough, especially considering that the turn has four years shorter than I thought.

Yeah, I'm gonna need to edit almost all mentions of Sacossa to Onesca -- Sacossa wasn't captured. On the other hand, Farubaidan soldiers did come close to Sacossa before pulling back -- as in, the other side of the river close. The Ayasi's soldiers never came within sight of the city, but still ventured north of the mountains at several points.

IC:
Lerai is a man of the spear, that much is very clear. Yet...there is something lacking in his demeanor. Once, the Chief-of-Chiefs was a kind as well as a strong man, a man who would sit with a High Prince of the Satar as equals. He was not one to boast his strength, but to show it through wise actions. It seems the blood of the Elephant Family has diminished, as we feared, since the days of Third-Gaci and his sons. But for one family to rule for so long invites stagnation. We in the Karapeshai understand that well.
And yet, what has this 'warrior' Lerai truly done? Who has Lerai truly fought? He has driven some scattered tribes of Vithana out into the desert, and he has occupied some empty land while the Satar fight great wars against great foes across the sea. In fact, Lerai, it is you who is the coward, attacking the Satar while their backs are turned, and while their armies are across the sea in another war. I am afraid that you are no true warrior at all, simply a man who puffs out his chest and claims he is strong. Simply a leader of the largest group of bandits.
And the Redeemer, being a dispenser of order, will put down banditry when it enters his lands. If there is something of the tale of Third-Gaci that you could learn, Lerai, it is that the warrior of reckless aggression is not always the warrior who survives.
But I am certain that with you and your pet priest's newfound love of exatas, you will come to understand its true meaning very soon, old man.

OOC: The Stato'i agree. Although I think that's mainly because you said you have some instinctual hatred of apostrophes

You mean above and in between letters?

I believe Talephas is in his mid- to late-twenties, going by Thlayli's story from the past turn (which had him as a little kid 19 years before the update). Lerai has been reigning for at least two updates -- so he's gotta be 30s or 40s at this point.

It's probably my fault for not specifying it in the first place. I first mentioned him in the orders for the last turn of the previous rule as being appointed as the head of the Order of War despite his youth and inexperience, which admittedly is pretty non-indicative; also, he had ruled for little over 16 years, I believe. I think he'd be in his early 30s by now.
Still hardly an old man.
Also, NK, my PM?

Am I the only one who sees that as being above the last i, and not in between the o and I?

OOC: The Chapru Confederacy would like to state that no one cares about us, and therefore will not get involved in the titanic war in the south.
P.S. NK How come there was no mention of my amazing exploits? Building roads AND purchasing slaves. Pretty impressive.

Building roads AND purchasing slaves. Pretty impressive.
THOSE laws which GOVERN the separation of houses according the LAWS OF MAHID which are a FAITHFUL record of HER views in HER FIRST GUISE in this HER SECOND AND MOST GLORIOUS REPUBLIC:
THAT both parties might at any time end their times together however this must be done only when initiating party is in full control of their faculties and is done in freedom and without compulsion.
THAT both parties must wait not less than one full year before this change becomes final and that until such a time there can be no joining of either parties to some other.
THAT neither party may join with any party which could be seen to have bought to the effective end the first joining except with mutual consent. SHE called the practice of the joining out of a broken joining contemptible in HER SECOND GUISE.
THAT the parties not be compelled to return to their houses of origin, and that the parties may remain in the house of their joining as full members until such a time as they might wish to leave.
THAT the parties should not, when there are differences, be left wanting. In HER SECOND GUISE, she said that this should include not just meat, grain, vegetable ("such as might grow above and below the ground") but also clothes and coin suitable for her station and keeping. Although, as befits a widow these clothes should not be of silk, nor cotton, nor wool but of good flax linen and nor should dainties be rendered unto her as these are CONTEMPTIBLE before her.
THAT a joining where one or both parties are compelled may be dissolved, although the welfare of the party or parties under compulsion must still be considered under this law. In HER CURRENT GUISE, she has spoken against the practice of taking one and marrying them by fraud or force and in the doing ruining them against all such other proposals and inducements accruing to one who is a first-joining.
THAT the children of a joining must be planned for and that the plan must be bought before a conclave which is to include the interested houses and their house affines but must also include houses of good standing and of some distance to the issue and a duly appointed judge of sufficient distance to validate and approve of the proposal. SHE in HER CURRENT GUISE despises those who would attempt to thwart HER GOOD LAWS by selecting houses of close relation or bad character to mediate.
THAT the property should be broken up according to need, with craftsman to retain their tools, wives their clothes, husbands theirs too, children their possessions, and so on and so forth as might suit the circumstances. IF this process cannot be done out of mutual consent it should be instead referred to the same conclave as might handle children or a special one convened to handle this issue.
THAT joinings which involve a child be dissolved as CONTEMPTIBLE before her gaze for in HER FIRST GUISE: "Was I not sold, and do we not find that contemptible? Is it right then that a child might be sold and their wishes ignored?" HER SECOND GUISE requires that these be given compensation if relations were entered unto in recognition and that they should become wards of the Judge, or the Magistrate, or the Temple, and the houses so involved with this ABOMINATION must pay for the maintenance of the child until their joining - to Temple, or State, or Citizen.
THAT such fines and recompenses as might be levied for breaches of this be in relation to the wealth of the parties: for the rich house ought surely to know better than the poor and besides will feel little sting from a levy of a donkey or ox whereas the the poor house might starve.
THAT the power of the conclave not be limited to the property of the joining but might also be applied to the property of the houses where one or both seeks to undermine these laws. HER SECOND GUISES cautions that care must be taken and that a second and indeed third judge should be made aware to avoid abuses and SHE reckoned it GOOD LAW also if the judge should come from elsewhere and be of a different group and this is the meaning of her saying that: "Siesite not Siesite; and Mahid not Mahid; but Siesite and Mahid and Mahid and Siesite."

I did, at first glance. But look at Noaunnaha for what accent marks look like on the map. It's clearly an apostrophe, not an accent mark, on Stato'i.

The Ayasi hereby withdraws all protection from the state of Jipha and rescinds all the privileges granted to its merchants in the past. This may be negotiated further if the current King of Jipha is removed from power and whoever takes his place brings him to Gaci-City in chains. The Peace of the Empire shall not be easily trampled.
