The Avalonian people are not eager to make enemies, and make great eforts to teakch Igrom to the foriegners and to learn their own languages. Efforts have met with limited success due to a fundamental difference between Igrom and the languages taught by the foriegners (Igrom in written form is phonetic, as opposed to English or Chinese, which I assume to be the closest language to Erinamese which I can speak of with any knowledge. Igrom in its spoken form is at this point a dialect with Erinamese roots, but with influence from other languages picked up from local tribes.).
Angband's wall has been completed. It's made fully of stone, and has a second curtain wall surrounded by a moat about half a mile away. Clan McPhail was given payment for services rendered in silver from a mine recently discovered.
I'll get around to changing Alani in just a bit.
I've done some thinking on the whole all enclosing wall mentality, and I think that I will allow it to some small extent. Up until the invention of gunpowder, large walls, if well manned can be able to fend off (in theory, it may not work out that way in practice) a direct assault. However, you can't fully hold a line that's as long as your borders, likewise, an invading army can't attack the entirety of the wall in full strength. They can still slip people past you if they do something like divert your main force with the main force, allowing a few to sneak in on an unmanned area. You can send people out in a similar way under simila circumstances. Any complaints, have at, I'll be reasonable.
