If honour had been allowed to rule how wars are conducted, safe havens
would not have been an issue. The Harn Confederacy, which as you may
remember consisted of indedependent states in an uneasy alliance,
decided to leave all safe havens ungarrisoned to avoid conflicts like
this. For example, one of ours had garrisoned Harn, but was convinced
that longterm this was a strategy that would not be beneficial. We also
argued that there where honorable ways to solve conflicts (like personal
combat) and also that prisoners should not be executed. This to limit
the way wars was fought. Alas, this was not to be.

However, as long as we are having fun, We, the Undying Banner will fight
for whats ours, thus in the long run alliances built like HC (RIP) are
stronger than alliances focusing on bugs, features or rule issues to win
petty things like a battle here and there.

My honour is my life
