Astri attempted an invasion of the Zormite Republic as well. Following my refusal to being Astri's vassal, an army of Astrian soldiers led by Zurkiba (Or I guess, "Eric"?) set foot in Redriel and pushed northward toward our castle. Their invasian force fell apart rapidly largely due to my leadership (seriously, because at the time a powergamer was defined as a lvl 12, mostly in physical -- and there was only a handful of those; and I was a lvl 15, mostly in wisdom and I tore pretty much all of the Astrians apart with my flaming Aura, Zormite blade of Ogma, and superior speed). Only Zurkiba managed to privateer a civilian Zormite vessel and flee.

They did not try to conquer Zormite again. I believe his plan was to take out Dustari quickly, and use them to help tip the odds in his favor in a repeat invasion of Zormite -- which never solidified.
