Well then let me weigh in on this don't let this affect IC, its way more interesting for our characters to work through it. I am just hoping to alleviate some genuine OOC confusion:
1) There was a single Lurian overture for Peace that Rynn is aware of. It came months ago and was proposed by Malus. You know, the same guy who declared surprise buttseks on D'Hara in the first place. Small wonder why it was not well received. Additionally, D'Hara had JUST made it's alliance with LV which in our eyes caused the massive Lurian army sitting on our doorstep to turn home and attend to closer matters, giving us some breathing room. Therefore accepting any peace after a show of support like that would be lower than low, just throwing LV under the bus. Nope, wasn't gonna happen.
2) Rynn asked each of the Lurian rulers for peace even before this, but was denied by everyone accept, eventually, Bipel. Ya'll all smelled blood in the air and was going for it, you could have stopped then.
3) Of course D'hara wont trust LN when they say "Mah bad, dudes, seriously, lets go kick that OTHER guy's ass, I'm right behind you..." And LN, knowing this, did zero to convince us otherwise. The insisting on peace for LV, as our allies, would have bought a lot of good faith in this regard.
4) The war was never profitable for D'Hara. If we are going to through some IGRP into this, why the heck would we continue an unprofitable venture but for fear of future aforementioned surprise buttseks?
5) Girich. Yup, we were going to attack the hell out of Girich. In fact, Alice sent Rynn her call for peace a few mere hours before landing orders would have been sent. Rynn put everything on hold, talked !@#$ out, and agreed to peace. Done. Finished. He was at Qubel Lighthouse again before half of you even realized D'Hara and Luria Nova were at peace. Then he exuberantly started planning WITH ALICE and luxuriating in D'Hara's first moment of Peace in like 5 years.
6) Everything is going good until WHAM! New duchy! And Alice was all like "Bitch you best give dat !@#$ back or ima cut ya!" and Rynn responded "!@#$ yo couch! Quite cryin cause you lost. Not my fault you didn't see that !@#$ coming. !@#$ nah I didn't know about it bitch!" So basically, to a D'Haran, LuriLogic took over: "Say what? D'Hara's back is turned again? AND we can ake cassus beli? Lucky we got this backstabby knife all set..."
7) Rynn called for a peaceful solution by focusing on big things first, swearing a peaceful return of the regions
Alice swore to kill Rynn if he didn't do what she said.
9) !@#$ Alice
10) Copies of the ambassadors corressondance were dispatched to both the Moot and the Church
