Vol XIV: – Talk is Cheap

Vol XIV: – Talk is Cheap

Dated: 26 September 2025

Greetings, dear listeners. Once again, the world is abuzz with chatter, threats, and grandiose claims. But let’s be honest—talk is cheap. Where’s the action? Where’s the smoke? Let’s take a look at who’s been running their mouths this week.

Remy’s Landclaim Whispers
Word on the wind says Remy is talking about landclaiming Pawanallpa. Allegedly. And there’s muttering about the new Vermin Legion [RATS] alliance being involved, too, which would seem logical as Remy is the “Dear Leader.” But unless armies march, it’s just whispers in the dark. Less “we could” and more “we did,” please.

The Great Herb Grab
Gilsus has apparently “herbclaimed” every herb in the realm. Yes, all of them. Every single sprig, stalk, and seed. Bold words. But staking a claim and actually enforcing it are two very different things. Until then, it feels less like control and more like wishful thinking.

Jah’s Siege Yawns
And then there’s Jah. Once again, he’s rattling the saber and threatening to siege basically everyone. Same script, different day. At this point, the threats blend into background static. Unless a city actually crumbles, it’s just noise—boring noise at that.

Closing Quip
So, dear readers, remember this: Illyriad isn’t won with speeches, declarations, or endless chatter. It’s won with banners raised, walls smashed, and fields taken. Until then, all this “talk” is just cheap currency in a world that rewards only action. My final thought is as always, I appreciate your whispers coming to my ears – for me to share with the realm.

Until Next Week,
The Whispering Scribe
