Ashlanders

[Arbiter]

Yeah. But it it's never wrong to have extra army.

[KuKulzA]

look....
Otto Von Bismark of Germany (Prussia) tried to keep 2 allies... Russia and Austria-Hungary....
and he did... except when he was dismissed by the rash, young Kaiser Wilhelm II, the alliance fell apart...
see, Russia and Austria were enemies....

the Telvanni were once disunited, devious, and uninterested... but, like Germany, they are getting politically active, progressive, settling lands, etc.
They are also resorting to violence much more....
now 2 "barbarian" groups reside on Vvardenfell... betmer who were outlaws or escaped slaves wanting a homeland in the east... and the native Ashlanders....both want to stay in the land... Ashlanders are the aboriginals, and know the land better.... the betmer are still smelling out the land and settling.... but the Ashlanders are on the defensive... more and more betmer are migrating to Vvardenfell... legally or not....
Ashlanders are tough and clever... but in the face of desperate but war-seasoned betmer warriors.... who are filled with hatred for the Dunmer...

the Telvanni are keeping an alliance because:
-both would be great allies to protect the lands and interests of the Telvanni
-if a war were to break out between the tribal groups, the remote settlements of the Telvanni would be insecure and other Houses could go in after the war and take land

so if Archmagister Aryon is careful... he can turn the betmer and Velothi against their common enemy, the Nords.. and the Nords are resettling Vvardenfell... the Nords are many and fierce, and a combined Ashlander-betmer force would be great for countering the Nordic raiders and warriors...
of course later (sooner or later) there is gonna be trouble... if I was Aryon... I would ask the Ashkhans and the betmer chiefs to gather and I would host a council.... and I would either give the Ashlanders the West Gash, N. Ashlands, & Grazelands and give the betmer the Ascadian Isles, Molag Amur, and Azura's Coast..... or just ask them to guide/steer their nomadic tribes away from each other s as not to come into conflict....

[Arbiter]

I agree with you.
Placing politics aside, Aryon seems like a too decent fellow to use ''dirty'' tactics.

[KuKulzA]

he's a good mer... but it is all perception... he is not afraid to use violence...

[Arbiter]

I meant that he wasn't such a stuck-up like other Wizard Lords.

[KuKulzA]

true, but the others weren't quite stuck up... so much as...
well Dratha hated men and she was very old... Therana was crazy... Baladas was absorbed in his studies.... Divayth Fyr and Aryon were cool... Gothren was thoughtful, but also a bit condescending...

[Arbiter]

Yeah, Divath was cool.

In short, those six eccentric Telvanni wizards are the epitome of Dunmer society.

[KuKulzA]

yeah... as eptome as Telvanni go...

and btw, thanks Arbiter.. thank you very much...

Your birthday should be a natural holiday in Tamriel. Or, better yet, you can just be a new Daedra, as you pretty much created everything. :yes:
