I said the road goes through northern Altara, and you disagreed, claiming Altara was further south. Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 10/11/2011 06:12:11 PM
Evidently, you were incorrect. As far as not holding northern Altara, that is irrelevant, it is still nominally part of Altara. For comparison's sake, Andor only nominally holds anything west of Whitebridge, which does not stop Andor from treating the raising of a lord in the Two Rivers as an actual rebellion. Borders actually do matter. If Andor or Murandy or Ghealdan tried to seize that area, that might not only give the monarchy the outside threat it needs to extend its influence over its own country, but it would also draw the attention of those nations' enemies who would rush to defend Altara to stymie the expansion of those countries.

If Andor were to cross Altara's borders to "defend" the road against the Seanchan, then that would be an invasion of Altara and an act of war against the Seanchan. And probably futile - as mentioned earlier, Andor itself hardly holds its own territory west of the Arinelle, and most of the Altaran territory being discussed is also west of that river.

Ghealdan needs a road - 04/11/2011 07:05:21 AM 1281 Views
Ghealdan does have a road to the east. - 04/11/2011 02:37:38 PM 857 Views
I think his point is that road goes through Seachan held northern Altara. *NM* - 04/11/2011 06:10:17 PM 308 Views
Only if they stay on a southern course. Altara is actually farther south. - 04/11/2011 07:43:01 PM 612 Views
Not according to the map you provided. - 04/11/2011 09:01:50 PM 658 Views

I think you are incorrect, but not b/c of map - because of what the projection of force would need - 10/11/2011 03:07:43 PM 661 Views
