Hi boys,
I give here my (debatable) opinion, even if my ideas are perhaps too
rationale and less mythic:
- -The Lunar Empire is an expansionistic/aggressive political entity: they
don't ask themselves why they attack Balazar or Sartar or Heortland: it's
their style, their superiority attitude towards other cultures that forces
them to do so. Many empires in history were so (some would argue they are
still nowadays).
- -The LE needs an economic market and trade route to the ocean, with the
disclosure of the oceans at hand. They want to enrich themselves by
absorbing their trading counterparts in the sourther "buffer" kingdoms
between the Oslir Valley and the Holy Country. The necessity to mythically
overcome Orlanth is a good excuse to conquer and enslave, but it's not the
chief practical reason at all (IMG).
Any comments?
