It's not ridiculous, you are uniting 2/3 of the continent's resources vs 1/6.
The only thing that's allowing Luria to fend off the total spankfest that's thrown upon it are the nobles it has. So either you break Luria, or you concede that it's the League that'll have to give up land, not Luria. And if you think Luria will dominate the world with a puppet in Nifelheim, you've seriously had too many nightmares about us.
Edit: Also, why would we even want a puppet? And who would even agree to it? And even if so, what do Fissoa and D'Hara have to fear from it?
You can't be serious?
You are serious.
If you put a puppet in Morek, who'll stop Luria from stomping over D'Hara?
Luria has never been good at projecting force—which is partly a function of its location. In order to reach a neighbour, it has to cross a mountain range, an ocean strait, or a desert.
Luria is powerful now primarily because it is able to fight close to home. I know it's actually managed to do some damage abroad, but that's a far cry from Luria, all on its own, deciding to go out and, say, bust some heads on the Madina island, or even march into Flowrestown.
It can be maddening, seeing all the people who fight a war till they're losing, then have them say, "Oh, we should stop now, but you need to give us back the land you took first." (Even "we should stop now before you can take any more of our land" is pretty frustrating.) Not because it's not a realistic thing for them to want, but because it's not a realistic thing for them to expect. Sure, you can ask for it—but you'd damn well better be willing to make some meaningful concessions if you are losing a war.
They sailed all the way to Morek... why couldn't they land on the Madinian isle?
Also, I heard Morek finally defeated your forces in the North, so they should be taking back these regions before you are able to return. Doesn't sound like the League would need to ask Luria for any land at all, and hardly feels like we are losing. Only thing we lost is the beachhead and the progress that had been made towards an invasion, but we are no worse off than when we started.
