Uh uh, trying to catch up again. Good thing is you haven't written too fast.

Just started reading this, your honeymoon will offer me a chance to begin catching up!
All the best for the forthcoming wedding, hope you both have a fantastic time in Ireland.
Glad to see life imitating art. Congratulations!
Congratulations indeed! Make sure you don't stress or rush yourself getting updates done before and after the hiatus. I'm sure we'd all rather you miss a self-imposed deadline if the alternative was giving us something that you're not happy with.
I know it's not original but congratulations! Have a good time in Ireland.
First might I say congratulations and enjoy Ireland for me. Florida isn't all it's cracked up to be this time of the year.
But as for this story (I think AAR does not satisfactorily describe it), it is fantastic. The world building is magnificent and you make it different, but not unbelievable. If you talked to a friend about French Cossacks, they would think you are crazy. You make it seem completely believable. Your characters are also very good. When it is hard to figure out who the antagonist is, you have done well. One complaint I have is Vishly. I loved his character in the beginning, but at the end he was just crazy. I guess I was spoiled by the parallels you drew with Vlad Țepeș. I just love Vlad in history and how in Romania he is considered a national hero for reforming the economy, breaking the power of the nobles, and standing up to the Ottomans. Vishly just didn't live up to his real life counterpart. Other than that this is a beautiful story indeed, especially your modern updates.
Thank you everyone! It really means a lot to me.*9 months later*

Sorry for the long delay. I have started writing again so hopefully I'll resume next weekend!
I'm glad to hear it.Glad to have you back, and glad to see the story take the arc of your most interesting group of people!
Thank you, my mother wasn't terribly pleased though.Beautiful. Magnificent. You, sir, have quite a pair to wear a kilt! Bravo!
Sorry, sorry! I am doing my best but I always get caught up in writing or Skyrim or Pathfinder... so it is hard to balance. If you haven't checked it out yet there is the facebook group which usually gets updates with maps and flags and those will resume shortly.That's pretty cool, you look really handsome. I find it funny that you got married on my birthday, hoping you're enjoying life I'm not forgiving you for the lack of maps for that reason, though :b
Well... I didn't have a picture of it but it was about a month before I shaved after the wedding... so it got long.You should grow a longer beard.
Good thing I am in the mood for writing then.The story is back and it has brought an enigma with it. Hopefully someone will eventually explain why a prisoner was being carted through the middle of nowhere.
Not really Junkers. They weren't a ruling class, but in politics when The Persians or Arabs would have several parties (Socialists, Conservatives, &c) the Qurati were united and generally voted behind one power, it gave them a disproportionate say.Qurati, (IRL)Prussian Junkers of Mesopotamia?
