Having said that, Phellan thinks the whole "attack Alanurs then declare peace" was the most chicken!@#$ thing ever. Zonasa should have stuck in the war and fought it out - earned themselves some respect in doing so. But no, somehow they went from were going to war! to back to peace in two seconds flat.
Yes...It did not do Zonasa any favours. That's one of the main reasons Jenred could get away with attacking over the insult to Edara without Cathay or Aenilia intervening.
