Well it would be only Luria if Astrum's ruler had come to his senses during the peace talks with Helyg Derwyddon. This is a war born of Astrum's own stubbornness. Especially now that they will soon have a chance to reclaim some of the West.
I was part of some of the peace negotiations, and there it actually wasn't objectively Astrum's fault. It was Helyg Derwyddon who suddenly stopped responding to an offer that was very fair and very similar to the HD offer to Astrum. They subsequently ignored their offer, claiming they hadn't received it, and withdrew from the negotiations without much reason.
That being said this is the only negotiation I have been a part of, and I am sure there have been quite a few failed negotiations between all parts involved. I love the intricate intrigue and politics of this Island. People who want to join, you really should, it's awesome.
