why do you want to make war with Aurvandil? I see little reason to jump on the band wagon with the rest of the continent when you could just lick your wounds while everyone else loses manpower
Because Mendicant invested a lot of time and energy in exploring how to attack Giask by sea, at the behest of Skyndarbau. Nobody in Luria likes Skyndarbau, because be committed the cardinal sin: involving non-Lurians.
People either forget or don't realize that Luria was isolated from the rast of Dwilight for literally years in real time. It's another culture entirely. That attitude has embedded itself in the players as well, such that successive characters from the same families adopt the same feud-driven, vengeful, and long-of-memory culture. It's probably not healthy, but it's home.
