Well, Melhed had three options:
a) Fight Thalmarkin
b) Do nothing
c) Fight Fronen
Option A was always going to be a hard sell. Thalmarkin could just sit 6000CS in Lastfell with some militia and Melhed was never going to be able to do anything except bash their heads against the walls. If they moved further south, they'd get their rural regions torn into shreds and need to recruit a load of militia in the cities. If Fronen fell, that situation was going to get very nasty very quickly. Option B was actually my tip; for Melhed to do as Melhed always did. Since isolationism no longer seems the flavour of choice in Melhed though, that left them with only one choice.
yep, Melhed's nothing special. They picked on the weaker of the two in order to save themselves some humiliation? Beluaterra would have remember Melhed far more if they hadn't chosen the latter
