There are ways to survive and thrive on Dwilight. One of them is to not get a repuatation for being an erratic maniac who spits in the eye of everyone with any kind of influence and a persecution complex. If you go about denouncing two thirds of the continent, you deserve what you get. When you ally with the realm that EVERYONE ELSE HATES AND WANTS TO DESTROY there should be no question when EVERYONE comes down on you for taking sides. It would be like if Mussolini had survived WWII and found himself wondering why nobody likes him for allying with Hitler.
