hmm, to fight 4 and have peace with 1 or have peace with 4 and fight 1......
I say Fronen took the possible worst option for them. Fronen VS Melhed 1 on 1, my gold would be on Fronen.
Assuming Fronen would want to abandon their allies to their fate?
Riombara is a strong but fragile foe. Cracking its shell is very tough, but once you do so, finishing them off is easy. Your propose peace would have resulted in Fronen losing her southern allies, and then being stuck in a continent where nobody likes them anymore.
If they can hold out long enough for Fheuv'n and Enweil to take down Riombara, though? Good luck, Northern Alliance! You'll need it!
It's a gamble. Peace can seem desirable to Fronen on the short term, but on the long term, it needs allies. And for that, it's better to risk dying and having realms that would be more than willing to create it anew than to alienate their only allies and be stranded with a tiny realm without friends in the dead center of the continent surrounded by greedy and opportunistic realms.
