@Everyone - I've got the basic game plan for the Nothosaur/Durrandon storyline. Here goes:

So Durrandon keeps operating from Mesocampian territory, until he's sent to aid the Monarchy of Fell with their nationalist problem (which is separate from the Uberwald plan). During which, General Apollyon reveals himself as the true leader to Durrandon, who takes this in stride and starts working directly for him.

They keep up their work until Apollyon decides the time has come to enter into another war with the Mendel and Vanara. This time, though, the war is a stalemate. The Mendel and SVE fail to destroy the Mesocampians, Quislings, or Nothosaurs, but Durrandon and Apollyon fail to destroy them in turn. Rather than continue the war, Apollyon and Durrandon negotiate a peace, with no conditions or concessions, just a cease-fire.

This distraction allows them to present a weakened face to their neighbors while secretly using Mesocampian and Nothosaur territory to build an even larger fleet and army, something that could not be done before due to Mendel and Vanara scrutiny. They also continue their political scheming, like rigging elections, destroying or bolstering economies, and driving up trade prices while at the same time promoting free trade. In the end, their plans come to fruition and they unite their spheres of influence and form some kind of Mirusian empire.

Naturally this doesn't sit well with the Mendel or Vanara, and neither does the cease-fire, so rather than lie back and take it in the ass, they secretly form an underground resistance movement, probably led by Syrior, Deloros, Ojib if he's alive, and others of your choosing, to fight them. The main focus of Durrandon and Apollyon will be in Cyrannus, and I will be collaborating with Cyrannian for that, but I'll let you guys have fun writing your own resistance stories if you want.

Oh, and this is just an idea, but I think it would be interesting to have Durrandon and Apollyon blow up a main important planet. Perhaps said planet could be Ugandalore, Alastor, or Euchados? I say this carefully as I know how it sounds, but it might add some flavor to the story, and we could always bring back the planet via terraforming. Just a simple thought. If you guys say no then I'll just blow up the Scythe or Vadyadhara homeworld.
