Soliferum was power-hungry and expansionist. Somehow Zonasa managed to keep blinders on long enough to actually "defend" (aka help) Soliferum every time it bulllied someone into a war It was just a matter of time once the other Southern Realms were gone until Soliferum either made Zonasa it's pet or turned on it and consumed its land. . .
Exactly. Which is why it kinda irks me when I get (still to this day) OOC messages regarding "backstabbing" Soliferum. Erandi sent repeated messages to Conan, and went through various channels to gather a big 'grievance list' (as Phellan can attest to). When all this was basically thrown back in his face, war was declared (but not before some tension was created between Erandi and Jenred/Edara
). I don't care about it too much when presented IC, because not every character knows the details, but getting OOC messages is... unfortunate.
