Um. First I've ever heard THAT story. What with everyone saying Westmoor and its regions were claimed in war, etc.
On the contrary, when the Duchy of Krimml defected to Perdan (when they controlled Westmoor), it was RETURNED TO FONTAN.
So either many old line Perdan/Westmoor/Caligus players are lying... Or you're really confusing duchies. I somehow think it's the latter. 
My previous character Moira lived through all of these events and my recollection of them is very different to what you have been told. However what matters is you characters' IC knowledge, even if that leaves them at the mercy of the unscrupulous.
