Hello! Second post here. And these are two big Qs I have had after reading the AD&D material.

How does conquest work? If leaders in Cerilia tend to be at one with the land, resonating with it, changing it by belief and being bound to it... exactly how do Scions take each others realms?

Do they have to kill one another? Deplete the other's bloodline? Can I physically take a domain and then be invested over the previous ruler? I know they could do vassalage or ransom, but that was pretty much explained in text.

Also - it made basic mention of it but can/do the unblooded ever start their own realms or societies? I am not really talking about peasant republics - but are there chiefs/kings/rulers who are struggling out there with no ability to magically manipulate the land but do things in a more... "old school" way?

Thanks for any responses.
