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.
Making peace is the antithesis of risk; if anything, it makes both realms safer (which is likely why they did it), so you'll forgive me if I don't give either realm much credit for trying to shake things up. Taking a risk for change would be for either of those realms to switch sides in the war, an idea which I heartily encourage by the way. Even if it screws the North.
