You bet! I got as close I possibly could to a ban, but ultimately wasn't! 
EDIT: Hey, this is discussing moderator actions, right? But them owls haven't made their prescence known on the NES forum for a while now, so I think I'm safe... Or was this little note my death sentence?

Epilogue: Eldrania's Legacy
"Interpreting a divine vision is like searching for meaning in thunder. There is tone, there is power, there is perhaps the beginning of a word--but which word?
Clearly, it is not the word that the Eldranians believed it to be."
-The Prophet
Transcript from a lecture series on Ancient History and Religion
Lecture 14: The Eldranian Crusade, part II
University at the Great Library, The Citadel, Citadel of Knowledge
In 441, Dula-Hathran fell to Eldrania. The Hathran people were genocided completely, or so it was thought at the time. And the world trembled.
And they were right to tremble. For in 588 VC, the Eldranian legions marched, not to the east, as many had thought, but to the west. The eastern part of Aney-Tigot was overrun. But once again, when the Eldranians seemed on the verge of victory, they were foiled by the Gargari. In 592, at a great battle, the Eldranians succeeded in fighting both Aney-Tigot and Gargari to a standstill, but the initiative and the advantage of surprise were lost.
There followed two centuries of indecisive warfare. The Eldranians succeeded in destroying Gar Korays in a daring assault over the mountains, but otherwise they simply manned the fortifications, which were extended along the entire southern bank of the Kalmar river due to the formation of Tristaria in 726.
But the Eldranian economy was soon strong enough to defeat Aney-Tigot, Gargari and Tristaria, especially with the use of copper weapons stolen from the Aneyans. Around 740, Gar Kersey fell, and the Gargari culture was all but destroyed, though it did not fully cease to exist until 793, when the remnants of Gargari were split between Eldrania and Nkondi (who immediately continued the fight against Eldrania). And once again, Eldrania continued to resist Aney-Tigot, Nkondi, and Tristaria, taking all of Aney-Tigot except the capital and nearly destroying the fledgling nation of Davaria.
Until 848 VC, that is. In that year, the Stratikrator Strategius, with the aid of the remaining Dula, commenced a massive assault on Eldrania. Eldraxaros quickly fell, and despite the fanatical resistance of the Eldranian people, Eldrania was doomed.
In 858, Aney-Tigot finally fell to the Eldranians, as plague ravaged the city. But it was to be the last victory of the Eldranians.
In 867, the combined forces of Veritas, Davar, Nkondi, Gerberia, and Tristaria finally reached and destroyed Eldrar. With every Eldranian killed (or so was thought), the reign of terror of Eldrania was over forever. 6 years later, the Prophet appeared in Nurmafer.
So why are the Eldranians important? Why have we spent 3 lectures on a long-dead race that now serves only to frighten small children in the night? Why have we spent more time on the Eldranians than on early Veritas?
There is a simple answer. You are all in the Citadel of Knowledge, the Citadel founded by the Prophet. As should be apparent, the Prophet had a past. Before he was the Prophet, the Prophet was Eldan. And it is only by understanding the culture and history of the religion the Prophet rejected, the religion that is antithetical to New Eldism, the religion that glorifies war above all else, that we can understand the Prophet. For, like all others, he was a man of his times.

Orders coming in... I am very frustrated at the situation, but there's nothing to be done about it. Curse Veritas for their meddling! Ah, well. Too lazy to hold a grudge.

sending orders now
'K. I believe I still need orders from Veritas and Khemri. The lack of them makes the military sections of the update difficult. 
I'll write stuff for the new nations of this turn.
I just have to say how thankful I am for all you great NESers. I'm truly honoured to have such a popular NES.

Weep, Mother.
Not really. Thought that story sucked, but I was rushed so I went ahead and posted. Due to how sucky aol is, I'll probably be posting my first part either very late today or tomorrow.
