Official Ratification of the Fall of Lestoria
A couple of days back I told KoL that if Lestat didn't post within a couple of days, the castle would (being devoid of defenders) fall. As Lestat hasn't posted, the castle has indeed fallen, marking our first player-controlled nation to be conquered.

IC: After a few days, with King Lestat having hidden recluse in one of the towers of his castle for several days, having given no orders whatsoever to the city watch - its only defenders - a council of Lestoria's most important nobles came to the desicion, with boulders flung by the Lestorian siege artillery raining down on the city, that their situation was hopeless and they had no choice but to surrender. Initial terms were met with the Likothanian Generals for the cessation of hostilities between the two nations, and the keys to the city were duly handed over to Ladies Firlasha and Silisnos. Likothanian forces entered the city and occupied the keep, taking King Lestat and his extended family captive. As is usually the case with cities that surrender bloodlessly, crimes on the part of the Likothanians were minimal, and any members of the soldiery found to be taking part in these crimes were treated most harshly by their superiors, according to the wishes of the queen.

OOC: Lestoria is conquered wholesale. KoL may now integrate it as he sees fit.

The region of Lestoria is worth 48 EP added in bulk to Likothania's GDP. Although the conflict was largely bloodless and as such damage to the economy of Lestoria and to the economic growth of Likothania were minimal, it is obvious that the Likothanian officials do not have the mind for business and trade that their Lestorian predescessors held, and as such income from coastal trading has fallen. The Lestorian Generals and army have layed down their arms willingly.
