Invade 109 (1 Treasure spent) [Military] - Unrolled
News that more of Firmament had been explored took up all of Giomad's focus from the moment he heard of it. Firmament was a place unlike any he had fought in before, but it was a necessary step to take if they were to...prove themselves, he supposed. They lived in a world where several planets were in contact and interplanetary warfare was inevitable. If the Dhaoine were to prove that they were capable of more than war on Sansar, that they can step boldly into the stars and make their will known, they must take Firmament - or at least, a part of it given the entrenched Durat population in the other parts of Firmament they had any intelligence on.Details

Sway Government in 43 (Using Unity of Purpose through the Embassy) [Diplomacy] - 16, Success
The operation to bring part of Chonkia under the banner of Eilif Dhaoine peacefully had been a long, long process, and the officials in charge weren't going to let past failures dissuade them from continuing to try to bring the often-troublesome locals fully on board with the process they had set out. This time, at least, they weren't fully alone - recently, Eilif Dhaoine and the Eucrus Alliance had formed greater diplomatic ties, and the representatives on the ground in the region find being able to discuss the situation with their kanmara counterparts quite useful. -
Sway Government in 41 [Diplomacy] - 11, Failure
While the department of the Eilif Dhaoine government that had been dedicated to the work in the northwest kept busy, the rest of the government's diplomatic efforts were focused further south in the Emerald Expanse. They had thought that it'd be easy work, between their past successes in Lassal and General Veldoon's embarassment in the field, but this is the system's first time dealing with a majority nonhuman population, and all it takes is a particularly ill-timed faux pas or two to derail the process. - Buyout TP3 of 11 [Economy] - 8, Failure
-
Buyout TP2 of 46 [Economy] - 11, Failure
While the successes of the Eilif Dhaoine government and the resources they had secured in past years were enough to keep their western holdings - the Reserve itself and Lassal on the mainland - content and in line, some officials predicted a growing risk of discontent of their new holdings in Chonkia. It seemed like a simple enough problem to solve, though - countries that have been friendly to Eilif Dhaoine, both here on Sansar and abroad, are well set-up to assist the Dhaoine representatives sent their way in securing a steady flow of exports, serving to both keep their new conquests happy and also feed the ever-growing hunger of the Dhaoine proper for novelty and greater wealth. That...ends up being easier said than done, however, and the lack of experience many of the Dhaoine officials have with complex intercontinental and interstellar business soon reveals itself, leading to major setbacks in the plan.

News and Rumours
-
The news that the Imperial Court is encouraging other countries to attack the interests of those who did not obey their wishes is...not particularly surprising. The response from the Eilif Dhaoine government is simple - there are no apologies, justifications or grand shows of offence, simply a promise that hostile actions against their interests will be retaliated against. Anyone who wishes to cozy up to the Empire by attacking the Dhaoine are welcome to try, if they are willing to accept what will come their way in response, and if those people would be operating under the assumption that Elect status will protect them from reprisals, well...they need only to look at the conquest of the Flowering Lands to see that a defence like that will not work against the Dhaoine. Similarly, if any other country feeling the weight of imperial attention is struggling and requires assistance...well, the halls of government in Deargabh are always open to those willing to make a deal.
-
When rumours reach the Dhaoine that holo-novels depicting Clagath in all his glory have been siezed in the Wyrmlands, most people find the funny side of it. Some government officials opposed to some of Clagath's reforms and power plays use it for some choice jokes during some of the...more energetic government meetings in the years following the news, of course, while among the Knights of the Dhaoine the rumour is that Clagath himself reacted to the news with a grin, chuckle and a muttered "Still got it."
-
Veehra continues to be a fascinating place to watch from a distance, and plenty of the Dhaoine use their new lifetime subscriptions to BRG newsfeeds to keep tabs on the...situation there. There seems to be little impetus among those in power in Eilif Dhaoine to actually get involved in anything on the dusty planet. Some messes are best admired from afar.
-
Work to clear out more and more of the parts of the Reserve closest to the cities and expand the sprawl outside the walls is still going well, by all reports. A fair amount of this newly usable land is going to the military, however, as the organisation continues to evolve as an independent arm of the Eilif Dhaoine government in its own right rather than something pieced together from each city's lannan forces. Building bases of their own outside of the city walls where new blood is recruited and trained up is broadly seen by the government as a good thing, allowing for greater efficiency in the future.
