Oh yeah, because when the Northern Alliance was trying to sack Barad Falas Eston was in major danger of "losing everything." What the heck, man?
If anything, making friends with Coria presented the possibility of both Darka and BoM turning on Eston and THEN Eston losing everything. How in the world you put together Eston pissing off all her allies as the "safe" route, as opposed to continueing a winning war against Coria, I do not know.
I think you're overstating the risk. Everyone was pretty invested in war with the Empire at that point, for which Eston was needed. Coria is only one front of that war. And if you really thought that Eston might be destroyed if you made a separate peace with Coria, then why did you do it? I can't see that it would make things more fun for Eston - Eston was winning a war, as you pointed out, and few things are more fun than that.
Wait, why the hell
did you do it? Either way, your complaints of boredom seem a trifle ironic now.
