So the crystal meth aliens have had a relatively benign hand in this.
Interesting write-up, Barbarian.
What we know is this: The Raumen attempted to be all intricate and stuff, over played their hand, and got smashed by the Turanei. Remember that they Mustered their Clans to invade the Turanei and the Phyr, that they paid the Phyr to invade the Turanei, and that they lost to both the Phyr and the Turanei. This is a lesson to us all that political machinations can backfire, and if at that point you don't have enough power to follow through, you're dumb and you're fucked.
The Turanei, for all their xenophobicity, appear to be what I can most closely equate to a racist redneck sitting on the porch with a big shotgun warning off trespassers on his lawn. He may hate you but he isn't likely to go out and shoot you if you don't provoke him. They only began going after the Phyr after a major colony was bombed. Who knows, our destruction of the misguided bears may even net us grudging respect in their ranks if we depopulate Phyrrie worlds nicely.
On the part of going to war with the Phyr, they may have great strength when desperate, but we're not as weak-willed as those hyperindividualistic pieces of chitin. They refused to listen to us when we told them we just needed to find out the truth of the matter. Why was that? They had a guilty conscience. But they did not trust us to mediate any end in the conflict. We are Codexia. Had they come clean to us, had they confessed their sins against their lizard brothers, we would have helped them.
But instead they destroyed our peaceful diplomatic mission. In any other circumstances that would have called for a swift reprisal. As it is, they have a large amount of back-dated reprisals that we'll be calling in now. Time to fuck them over.
C. Mobilize immediately, in preparation for war.
We march. Rebuking the Phyr will be good practice for the true war that is yet to come. In the name of all that is good and just, we must admonish the Raumen for their hubris. Now it is clear they did not want us to side with the Phyr or contact the Turanei as both races are not friendly with them. How dare they attempt to direct Codexian foreign policy? Take note that we have found out killing the Clan Father harms their war effort greatly. Mayhaps the Clans are only kept united in a Great Mustering by such a personage. This information is of great interest and for this I concede that finding out the truth of the war was the correct choice.
edit: Codexia is Codexia. Codexia may have a multitude of titles; but in the end Codexia will be Codexia in the hearts of its citizens. And if the Raumen attempt any attacks on us, we will fuck them over too if they desire a fucking that quickly. Bug fuckers.
We will need to sharpen our war senses, and soon. The Sixth Great Muster of the Clans may be led against our own Codexia. We defeated but two clans previously, but fifty years has passed since then, and now we are wise to their ways. Their guerilla tactics are only effective against us once. We can beat them. Fear no attacks by the Raumen for it will only hasten their own doom.
The Hin'in Empire is not us, it happened a hundred years back while the Raumen War was fifty years back, involved two clans, and did not require a Great Muster (but if we had opted to continue the war back then, one may have been called down on our heads), but it may be a reference to Humans. >_>
