The thing is, Melhed isn't in a spot where it is allowed to voice its gripes. Gripes will get you killed. Moan and complain all you want about how Thalmarkin has got this that and the other thing, but remember: You couldn't beat them with Agyr flying your banner, you definitely won't without it. Antagonizing a bigger neighbor with a solid hold on the region you occupy is a terrible thing to do. If you want to spite someone who just won a fairly one sided war against you, swallow it, or be prepared to pay up for it. The thing is, you don't have to like Thal's attitude, but Thal certainly has to like yours.

It helps then that Kalixta acted independently. The blame cannot be laid on Melhed because Maya had no knowledge of what was happening until it was too late, only learning of the destruction just prior to Kalixta following the treaty and switching to Thalmarkin. Nor could she disciplin Kalixta for fear of alienating the rest of her subjects even further. Kalixta's actions have been disavowed as that of a rogue, which she now officially is, and she's been forbidden from returning to Melhed.

Ya'll should hunt her down instead. Make a special task force or something to bring the Red Witch to face Thal Justice  ;D
