Yeah, cause Madina don't have a history of siding with the north. Well, if you ask a Caerwyn noble at least. LoFN, anyone? If I recall even halfway correctly, wasn't Madina the only realm in the southern half to clearly separate itself from that excellent winning strategy.
I believe we decided the LoFN was a joke after nearly all of them threatened to go to war with us over the Aurvandil matter.
Also, most of the LoFN realms have SA temples or members as is.
