We captured the duchess, causing her to lose her position, and you for whatever reason failed to appoint another one. And our attacks likely prevented you from going to aid the region when it showed signs of going rogue. Not to mention we prevented you from retaking it until the peace was signed.
Seriously, though, let's not start this, "We totally could have kept fighting if not for our regions" bull!@#$. You want to say that IC, fine, but don't pull that crap OOC. You lost that war, badly, and it was not because your regions were independently going rogue. It's only because Jenred wanted to look reasonable, and because Ohnar is a terrible military ally, that you didn't lose the territory you should have.
Nobody's making IC arguments, and nobody's claiming "we could have kept fighting". Same can be said for your pushy arrogance on here- is that IC or OOC? Same comparison can be made for Zonasa as you made with Ohnar. Had Zonasa (and Kindara, for that matter) moved decisively and together with us, and our own nobles actually cared enough to leave the capital, Talex and Larmebsi really were easy picking. Especially after Ohnar threw in the towel before we did, guaranteeing Cathay kept well away. Ask Jenred how many conversations we had on the side- both threatening, postulating, and negotiating. I even contacted Brian in Cathay hoping to fend off any push they might be making.
Truth is, Aenilia pulled out because someone (read: me) stepped up and said fighting a war we can't win, expecting our allies to save us, ignoring our own regions, and having at best 5 active nobles fielding units at any given time was a
horrible idea. Its nobles (largely, anyway) are lazy and apathetic and the only time you hear them talk is if someone tells them to do something they don't want to do. When I arrived, its council
collectively said 1 thing IC for the first 3 weeks I was there. Banker autopaused. Ruler quit. General finally just stepped down. Guy du (former Duke of Ipsosez) hadn't been back to the stronghold in a few weeks (wartime got us there), then got elected as King and never appointed anyone to replace him or in Ornaz. Both regions revolt on the same turn, Nahad is sacked, Arella protests against the entire world or something, and then things get settled on the diplomatic end.
I won't say we didn't get our asses handed to us. That was going on long before I came back and was still part of the realm's nature even at treaty time. But don't tell me regions (outside of Ornaz) went rogue or were starving because of anything except piss poor management by the ruler/banker/regional lords. Go toot your own horn IC- it's acceptable there.
