=== The Wischeppian border non-conflict ===

The exact particulars of the events at the Wischeppian border still confuse me and I cannot wait to see what was actually going on there. Early in the game, my mother informed me of a large force assembling there, busy quelling a Heretic uprising but dangerous nonetheless. She began raising an army to oppose this force, but it seems that Fenpr and Wischeppia never actually came to blows. My mother informed me, around the time I had been expelled from the conflict at Hounslow, that peace had been made with Wischeppia. In exchange for about 12 miles of poorly-developed Fenpri land (which it would be difficult to say I actually exert much control over in the first place), we were offered 60,000 loot with the limitation that the newly ceded territory could only be occupied by 1,000 infantry troops from both sides. My mother agreed to this offer and started to march back to Torvaldsen. The commander that she had appointed to assist her with the Wischeppian conflict, named Divolm, stayed behind with the 1,000 troops to secure the border while my Mother returned to Torvaldsen with the remainder of the accumulated force.

We both agreed, upon her return, that this was the best deal we could have gotten out of the situation. The Wischeppians at the border outnumbered the Fenpri almost exactly 3-to-1, but they chose not to engage for some strange reason and offered up a quite reasonable agreement which neither side violated during the course of the game.

But a force of 6,000 such as the one that Wischeppia had, is one of the largest I saw during the course of this entire game. I still can only guess at the reason such a large force was assembled, then did nothing but leave peacefully.
