So this is the beginning of the end, or at least it is for Helheim. T'ien Ch'i has invaded the nation of Helheim. I knew it was going to happen sooner than later. What is interesting is the reason for the invasion. "We cannot allow you to expand more into Ulmish territory." I believe that is the message I received, word-for-word.

For those who do not know, I was attacked by Kailasa after the initial war between me and T'ien Ch'i broke out. That is in fact one of the reasons I asked for a truce from them. Kailasa and I then started duking it out with quite a few close battles. (Awe is surprisingly effective against Helhirdings.) I managed to whittle them down, and then guess who decided to intervene, Ulm! They saw a nation scarred by war and decided to start taking the lightly defended Kailasan provinces. After all was said and done, Ulm took everything save one province I managed to hold on to, and that province wasn't even the capital! I have not once, after this was done, launched an attack on either T'ien Ch'i or Ulm. Yet, for some reason, the Not So Great Catsby has said that I cannot expand more into Ulm territory. MORE! I have not once expanded into Ulm territory.

I have been insulted repeatedly by T'ien Ch'i and taken advantage of by Ulm, and yet I have done nothing hostile to Ulm or T'ien Ch'i, after our initial conflict. I am the bad guy! Ha! That's laughable! If you want to destroy me, so be it, but don't act like a caring ally. You were just waiting for the right moment.

P.S. I better receive that staff of storms I paid for!
