I think people have been using "peace and stagnation" as a boogeyman. Atamara has not been at peace since Enri started as General, many years ago. Since then we've seen stagnation on EC, FEI, and BT (post Daimon invasion), but not AT. People keep crying about the sky falling after every peace treaty, but soon enough another war starts.
Yes, the League bloc keeps winning wars. Yes, its leadership ruthlessly goes after any perceived threats and roots them out. Yes, the League has been ganged up on with superior numbers and won anyway. Why should success be punished? Why should superior strategy and diplomacy be demonized?
Correction: It's been bad for the realms and nobles that challenged the League bloc and lost. I suggest that they don't lose next time. That should help. 
The "League" bloc became what it is now because of Darka. It was not YOUR superior strategy, tactics or whatever you claim you did. WE made you.
