So, one group held power in Barca (the "tyrannical and corrupt" "old guard" with a "clique mentality"), Aurvandil wanted a different group to have it (the "newer nobles ostracised as troublemakers and traitors"), the current Barcan leaders refused it, and war. Sounds legit.

Who said anything about changing who had power? I've said more than once on this thread I didn't want to change who had power, but reform the way that power worked.

Aurvandil wanted to remain vague in their demands so that Barca could think of their own solutions to satisfy them, but that vagueness is the precise reason that no treaty could be established.

Well, as DoctorHarte says, the reason a solution wasn't was that Barca wasn't bothering, we literally gave them a mandate to do "anything" that had a consequence and we'd accept it, within reason. But really compounded this, was the fact they just turned around with some irrelevant treaty that presupposed the territorial dispute wouldn't be an issue, sort of making it clear they weren't doing anything for a real treaty or that interested.
