you can't exactly say for others to take a risk when your not willing to take one yourself... Eston and Coria have both taken a risk for change by going for peace instead of fighting.
Hmm so Darka was scared of the central alliances power... interesting.
Darka may not be fighting as a mercenary realm, but after this war, I have always assumed we would. Which would mean we would need neighboring allies and border treaties to do that.
And, I wouldn't say scared, but who wouldn't be concerned when the two biggest realms(Tara and CE) are in an alliance and making babies in former Falasan territory?
