Right, because it's soooo game changing. 
Uh, yeah. It is. Why do you think a lot of people are specifically upset about it?
Because it changes the entire dynamics of the current war.Making peace is the antithesis of risk;
That depends on the situation. For instance, both realms risked seriously upsetting their allies and their respective power blocs by doing so. Especially Eston. When Eston made peace with Coria it was a big deal, it angered her allies, and is still (obviously) a sore spot today for many.
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.
I just got an idea... what if BOTH switch sides? Eston joins CE & Co while Coria joins the Northern Alliance. That could be interesting...
