Aurvandil is passed the point of caring if our enemies retain their territory, so we will welcome all Barcan's who defect. It will be a cleaner end to Barca than the one Mendicant ordered this week, this war has been going on so long we've agreed that the Madina Contingency is the only viable solution. That, and the number of protests against the current policy in Aurvandil rose to the point where Mendicant could no longer refuse to fight the Veinsormoot, and refuse to fight with intent to make them capitulate utterly at sword point.
Also, posting letters to the forum does sort of undermine the in character aspects of what is going on at the moment.
