Thank you also to your skillful players for their essential contribution to your masterpiece. In light of that military superiority why is it that Theralis hasn't yet conquered (or attempted to conquer) their softer yet richer neigbours? A few years without any orcish raids, a swift mobilization, some intelligent planning and victory would be pretty certain. It would seem reasonable that a society that is cohesive and militarized to such degree as Theralis would have the political will to expand their borders to increase their long term strength. The cost-benefit ratio to a successful invasion would be well worth it in the long term and the large military of Theralis shouldn't have much trouble keeping the population of the conquered country down until it has acclimated itself to their new masters. The common religion and similar culture of the two countries would make the integration of the two societies relatively easy. Theralis seems pretty goodly, though, maybe that's why.Maybe I'm just a hopeless imperialist, <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Also, I've always wondered. Why hasn't Theralis fortified the passes leading into their valley (particularly the one the orcs are repeatedly trying to pass trough? A mere wall would do some difference. A couple of towers on the mountain-sides to throw stones from high enough that giants couldn't throw back and some arcanists for support and they could slaughter any number of orcs without a single casualty.Oh, and btw. no offence was intended with my questions, just curious. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
