it makes more sense if you are a part of the Ruler's channel, where we basically agreed that Luria Boreal would fight a Theocracy of SA instead of Swordfell. Oh, and D'Hara's ruler went on a rant about how I should attack him if I wanted revenge on those who closed ESA temples. I replied with "the monsters seem to be doing a good job already".
Part of the motivation, I believe, is a determination to avoid large coalition wars or unbalanced conflicts. Instead, if possible, enable limited scale wars that provides each realm with a test, but doesn't turn into something like Luria vs the Southern Coalition.
