Hail Divine Emperor!
I feel so unique... When you do find Guangfei, you will all prostrate to the Dragon Throne! 
Then we'll still wipe your country out from sheer spite 
What's Veritas, Gorin, Shalamari, Khmeri or Nurmafer? GUANGFEI RULES 
Iggy, can you tell me which city is which like perhaps a small list of the city with the location next to it or a map, thanks

Question to Iggy:
Seeing as Ramids probably don't revolve around a one thousand for one eco point, so how many Ramids do I get from an eco point

Give the enemy a ray of hope-General Han Xin, 1008
During the Wars of Unification Liu Bangs forces were besieging a small critical fortress held by a neutral force. The said small fortress overlooks an important ford of the Xi River which was vital for Liu Bangs forces as whoever held the fort could raid his supply lines and sever them as he advanced further. The assembled army of Liu Bang failed to take the fort even after 4 months and Liu Bang was furious. He ordered that when the fort was taken, the defenders would all be boiled alive. Even after this declaration the fort would not fall. Instead the defenders fought even harder to resist. Furious, Liu turned to his commander Han Xin who noted that when you cornered a tiger with no where to flee he would only fight harder. Liu Bang immediately understood and offered a pardon to all who surrendered and allowed them to join his army. The opposing army weary and soon out of supplies surrendered and joined Liu Bangs army without another arrow shot.
A Loss May turn out to be a Gain-Short Guangfei Folktale
There once lived an elderly man near the frontier. One day, he found that his prized horse had vanished and that it had left the country. All his neighbors came to comfort him for this unexpected and unfortunate loss. The old man however remained strangely optimistic saying that something good may come from this bad thing.
To his surprise, one night a few months later he heard sounds of horses and went out to see and upon arriving outside he saw another beautiful horse in addition to his own horse which had vanished. It was clear that the new horse was the companion to his old one and his neighbors once more came this time to congratulate him on his excellent good luck. The old man was pessimistic saying that something bad would certainly come out of this good thing.
And he was proven right once more. The old man had a son who very much loved horses and was very fond of the new horse. One day when he was riding the horse hunting, he fell down from horseback and was terribly hurt in his left leg. After that he was no longer able to properly walk. The old man was optimistic saying that something good would come out of it.
A year later, many of the young men were conscripted to fight in a war and most of them died. The son of the old man was absolved as he was disabled so he escaped death.
Bad things are blessings in disguise.

No offense but that second story is basically a classic that has been around forever. In fact both stories are morals known for centuries. Like the touch to adding them to your history, but uhhh yah. They've been used before. No offense.

Nonsense! Both are CHINESE Folktales
The first one is attributed to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the first one is an old Chinese folk tale. CHINESE As in more ancient then any other culture in OTL, and I am offended that you would compare Chinese culture with 
any other culture If you haven't noticed by now, I'm completely kidding about being offended

OOC: I'm checking in right now so you won't think I'm gone awol. I've got major tests for around the next three weeks, so forgive me if I'm not on for a while. I've also got a question, have these new people been playing in secrecy for a while or did they just join?

The young boy sat on his Ramid. His father had given it to him as a young boy. The country only had a few riders. But they were fearsome. Well feared. The main populace were still dedicated swordsmen.
The boy's name was Vazras. He had lived with his family his whole life. When Fasra called for people to answer the call, Vazras, like many, could not resist the idea of adventure. Vazras had promptly gotten on his beast a clammered off. Carrying his spear, sword in his belt, and quiver on his back, he marched off. Meeting up with several other riders they marched on.
They arrived at the city of Diliculo. The boys saw an officer. Riding a fearsome the largest Ramid they had everseen. Behind him hundreds of boys were practicing sword and fighting techniques.
"What premise do you have to coming to Diliculo?" The officer bellowed.
"We seek to become riders of the Myocaca cavalry. We were told to come here."
The officer smirked, "What do you fear? Do you wake up in the middle night? Do you here the ominous screams. The pain the blood. The burning blade the senseless killing. Have you experianced these things? Many believe that only a sense of mindless killing is need to be a rider. It takes discipline, cunning, swordplay, marksmanship, and most of all a spiritual connection with your beast.
One of love. To be a true warrior to know fear. You have no idea what you have just walked into."
"No matter the words you say or the punishment you inflict will turn me away from my true goal."
The officer chuckled. He dismounted and then Vazrasresponded in kind. He walked up and stared into his eyes. Drilling into his head. He looked motionless as Vazras looke hardened as well. "Make me one promise before I let you anyfurther. Once you join, you will never be the same. Your times at home will be over. Sure you might return a war hardened hero. But you won't be able to escape. The only comfort you will have is your aging Ramid. Slowly you will shrivel like all things do. Make me the promise that you will not turn your back on me."
"I will not be sent back empty handed."
"Good, your training begins now. Fetch me the feather of a Vaascal[1]."
"How am I to do that?"
"You are the one to decide that, but give me all your weapons and you mustn't kill the bird, for the true warrior can defeat his enemy without laying one blow. Do not worry your Ramid will be taken to the stable and fed."
Dazed Vazras ran off into the forest determined to become a true warrior. The other men, swordsmen were sent to the teacher to learn martial arts under Master Quas. The other hopeful Ramid Riders were given the same task as Vazras.
Vazras would not return until late at night followed over the next 2 hours by the others little by little. Exhausted Vazras fell onto Ramid ready to sleep. The officer came quickly and woke the boy up.
"You shocked me. No one has ever done it that fast. Tomorrow will be even harder."

Gah! Apparently I have a corneal ulcer, whatever that is. 
So while I put various painful medicines in my eyes to kill it, I might be posting a bit less until it's gone.

We have entered into negotiations with the Khemran governmental leaders, and have settled our differences and come to a common agreement. The result is the Treaty of Khaso:
1. The Empire of Khemri is no more. The monarchy is disbanded, and the leadership of Khemri calls on King Rhama Khemr IV to abdicate.
2. In its place, the Republic of Khemri will be formed, with a temporary capital at Khaso. Until order and stability are established, it will be under temporary military occupation by Veritas.
3. The Republic of Khemri will withdraw from Nurmafer.
4. Now and forever, Khemri acknowledges and recognizes Kehexou and Nurmafer to be equal powers.
5. Veritas will help Khemri to build the capital of New Khadon on the site of the former city.
6. The Province of Tekrehexou, having both Kehex and Khemran cultures, will be returned to Khemri from Kehexou. However, it will be granted limited autonomy and freedom of religion within Khemri.
This is the final agreement. Veritas calls upon Gorin and Shalamari to leave, and let peaceful rebuilding begin. If necessary, we will expel any monarchist forces that refuse to surrender.
OOC: Iggy, please post to acknowledge the Khemran leaders acceptance of this proposal, thanks.

To: Kmeri if the veritas proposal is accepted:
We will pay 1 eco point for a small strip of land on your border with the moguls. We are done with being landlocked. If you refuse, we will simply make the same offer to the ruined moguls, who have no reason not to accept.

They just joined.
Er, the reason Tekrehexou and Kehexou split in the first place was because Tekrehexou followed Khemri Polytheism.
BTW: The captured royal family of Khemri agree to this. Although Rhama Khemr IV may disagree.

From: Kehexou
What!?! Well, if you quit on this war, we will still retake our ancient homeland now held by Tekrehexou. Ignore what the foolish moderator said above. The rest is acceptable.

The Gorinese Empire objects to this offer, Khemri will simply become a vassal of Veritas. Instead, Gorin proposes that a join restoration instead be instituted by both the Wardash nations and Veritas. If Veritas truely wants a balance of power then they will accept this and not force their form of government onto others.
It seems rather laughable though, how Veritas chooses to aid Khemri more than Nurmafer, since it was on the behalf of Nurmafer that Veritas joined the war.
