Well, to be honest, I wouldn't mind some uprisings against the Lengels.
Some Davarian hero, or a fierce Nkondi general declaring the former country of her people autonomous again?

I always used to find it funny when people threatened to quit a Nes because they felt it was unfair, then Jason would say fine quit I dont need your constant whining anyway.
Silver Steak said:Well, to be honest, I wouldn't mind some uprisings against the Lengels.
Let me field those:
The Nkondi general would have no reason to revolt.
1: The Nkondi have been all but absorbed into Lengel culture, and by following a religion that decrees that the Lengelzai is the representation of their god, to go against the Lengelzai is to go against God.
2: They are enjoying unparrelleled success by being Lengel, conquering nations and being in positions of power that had never happened when they were merely Nkondi.
3: The current Lengelzai in power is a Woman. That alone would keep many Nkondians in line.
4: The Lengelzai next in line is the son of Khaidu the Iron-Willed, the most respected Lengelzai of the line due to his conquest of his illness and a man of Lengel-Aneyan-Nkondi descent.
So, why would the Nkondi revolt?
Then in the case of Davar, while they have a reason to revolt, they won't.
1: Davar is frightened of the Lengel, and the Lengels are currently waging war against the remanents of the Crystal Ridge Alliance, which is a big plus in their eyes.
2: Davar has been offered the chance to get revenge agaisnt their age-old enemies.
3: Davar is offered the chance to regain some of their autonomy in return for getting revenge against the CRA.
So, why would Davar revolt against the Lengel if the Lengels are offering them two things that are precious to them, without needing to fight the overwhelming might of the Lengels, the only nation able to break through the Keran mountains?

The Unforgetable Speech
which I almost forgot to write *cough*
"Nothing is more dangerous than an Idea, When you only have One. You become obsessed with this idea. It begins to define you, shape your actions. But Ultimatly it will lead to your downfall. Because you are unable to change, unable to adapt. And in attemping to maintain that idea, you can cause horrific Damage. Look at the Eldaranians of Old. Veritasians Prior to the Great War. They shaped the world yes, because of the tremedous vigour with which they carried out their actions. But Ultimatly they fell. To New Ideas, Changing peoples. They tore apart the world and when they fell they were forced to adapt, or Die. Once again, we have two cultures that Threaten Khemri. The Kehoxu, who have defined themselves, their actions, everything, in relation to Khemri. This is a dead end Idea, and we must root it out, destroy it. The Lengels who's only purpose, who's only goal. Is domination. These Ideas are very fragile, what happens when these goals have been acheived? They will fracture, and without anywhere to expend their energies, they will turn upon themselves and violantly tear apart.
I call upon you to fight these Disease's, these man-made plagues. Fight and survive, surrender and become part of the contagion.
But what are you defending? We who love the Truth, defend many things. A multitude of ideas, our way of life, our Loved ones, But Ultimatly Truth Shall exist, We shall Exist. And For these truths, you must be prepared to kill, to die. For you will live again, the world is of your choosing.
It has been Said that Man is born neither good, nor evil. He is simply born with instincts and abilities. Experiances shape us. They lead us to become wise and benovolant. Or crazed destoyers. And a mans experiances can are derived from his culture, his background. But then there are the Great Men, those who define Good and Evil, Simply by the magnitude of what they have accomplished.
So Finally, I ask for you to ALL be great men, men who will shape the future of our world."
OOC: Contempt you know fine well that no culture EVER becomes completly converted. Ever.

Describe, then, the influence of ancient Egyptian culture on modern Egypt. Go.
The answer: there is no influence. Despite being one of the earliest civilizations and at a time one of the most culturally prominent, ancient Egyptian culture has been completely, 100% wiped out.

Oh, okay. Well, they still disappear. Dula-Hathran's culture is all but gone (brief renaissance in Tristaria, but Tristaria is gone), and Gargari's is gone. Eldrania's culture is gone, too, since the Citadelers are pretty much the exact opposite of the Eldranians. Had Veritas survived a few more turns, Kalmar and Zibon would have lost all remaining vestiges of their cultures.

Van Halen: Where did you get the wine though?
Whity: Like it, eh? The merchant wanted to sell me some cheap table wine, but I told him: "Listen to me chap, I aint buying none of that table wine, go into your cellar and bring me some of that fine vin ordinaire."
