This makes you sound paranoid. You've been informed by people who have no reason to lie that there was no coordination, IC or OOC, between Riombara and MR. Maybe some of those who went to MR planned to rejoin Riombara all along, but if that's true we certainly didn't know about it in advance. From what I heard at the time, Mordred alienated a lot of people towards the end. I have always assumed that that is why Telrunya decided to quit MR and rejoin Riombara. Maybe if he cares to, he'll shed some light on that subject himself.
It didn't need to be planned. It was obvious. How many realms created thanks to the invaders survive very long past invasions? None. It was therefore quite predictable that, in order to not be totally ruined, the opportunists would rather surrender to Riombara than die alone. It was also quite predictable that Riombara would then prefer to take back these nobles, to be in a stronger state to eventually fight Enweil again (because that's all Riombara seems to know how to do), then to do what is morally right and side with Enweil against the realm that used invaders to kill a human realm and attempt to kill others during the invasion, as that would have left them much weaker than they are now. That is Riombara. You are quite forgiving to your own when it comes to scandalous anti-Enweil actions. It's like when your judge executed an enweilian royal infil, despite an prisonner agreement saying she would be deported. Did Riombara actually punish the judge? No. The nobles cheered him, and he left for an allied realm
on his own. His crimes, like MR's, went unpunished because they were aimed against Enweil, which many Riombarans have made it their holy quest to destroy.
These are the double-standards of Riombara. They scorn Enweil for having accepted the aid of an invader faction that demanded nothing in return, in order to survive, while they accept with open arms and give positions of power to people that fed thousands of peasants to invaders in order to allow them to destroy a human realm and with the hopes of destroying even more.
Coordination was not necessary, as you couldn't have planned it any better than what happened. Support was tacit. As for Mordred, that's just who he is. It is beyond me how people still don't get this into their heads. All he wanted was to form his oligarchic RoF back, he made it rather painfully obvious even before the secession occurred, and that he would eventually become ruler was obvious since day one.
Why on earth would we give Fwuvoghor back to you? As far as we were concerned we had a right to it in the first place, MR or no MR.
Because the only reason Enweil lost it was because of invaders. Some people complain that Fronen grew, but even *they* did not stoop that low, and basically only grew due to lords switching allegiance to them (+ the TO of Dyomoque, which nobody seemed to mind, Bara'Khur included). In fact, that's likely one of the reasons you were so eager to have MR nobles join back, so that you may take the city before Enweil mustered the force to reclaim it.
