Could someone explain for those not inside Swordfell?
While you wait for the proper response, I've heard it is pretty much Crixus' duchy vs UT members. Since Crixus is the one with gold, without him, Swordfell can't fight Westfold properly resulting in a horrible angry stare game between two factions of SF. Don't forget neither can break the stalemate because no one can remove Crixus through conventional means while Crixus doesn't have enough support to get Mariah out of Swordfell.
