The whole P.O.Z wanting to attack GA - prior to this war - with help from Kindara thing. That being a big decision maker for GA. That was a thing, right?
It was, though more so in P.O.Z then in Kindara. Just before the current war it was more a thing that could possibly happen then anything that was seriously being planned. Popular opinion was not as against GA then as it is now that Arella seems to have stopped listening to anything resembling reality. Either that or Galiard is just that convincing, and I have to admit, he is charismatic.
