This is all true, but I don't think of the Legion's journey into the East and then to the far North as a "ligntning strike." Nor do I think of the Dark as an "evil empire," since they desire not to conquer, but destroy. The land they possess is not governed or taxed or given quotas of men, as in an empire: it is simply destroyed. But I must admit that your points do describe the way things are in the game, and contradict my theory, which I was never very sure of in the first place (it was just a possibility that occurred to me), we just think of this stuff in different ways.
