Erfworld Thread III: As the Erf Turns

[Winterwind]

Perhaps he's concerned because the side that appears most likely to attack them from the air is Delkey, and despite the current tensions Posbrake would rather not fight his parent side. There could also be another Prediction that we haven't heard about yet:

Both good points, aye.

Where does that come from? The warlord who founded Haffaton was called Overlord, not King. It could be a case like Lord Crush, I guess, but we haven't seen any evidence for that AFAIK.

It doesn't say it outright, but in Book 1, here, in the fourth-last paragraph, Parson writes that "Royal empires split off sometimes into new sides", while explaining the whole concept of Royalty - which implies that non-royal empires don't, otherwise that is a very strange thing to say.

Of course, Book 1 was rather a while ago. It's entirely possible Rob has changed his opinion on that since.

EDIT: Also, I guess saying that non-royals cannot found new sides was inaccurate - this merely implies they cannot split off from their parent side to form a new side, but if a non-royal heir found himself a barbarian after his side was crushed, s/he would most certainly be able to found a new one. However, given that we were talking about this in the context of splitting off a new side, that's rather irrelevant here.
