I disagree. Having more nobles gives an advantage, doesn't make one invincible. As it is, Aurvandilians are in the best spot they could hope for: away from the hegemonous North, and surrounded by neighbors who are prone to starvations and who can't get along much with each other. If the Aurvandilians can be kicked out of that spot, there's nowhere they can be safe. Any uprising they'd attempt elsewhere would be crushed without mercy.
Aurvandil can be defeated. All that's needed is for Luria Nova to keep its word for once, and for the North to commit a bit more seriously.
Or perhaps D'hara could do something besides provoke its irritable neighbor. I do believe even Terran had some bitter comments about that.
