Let me get this straight: the Moot and the SA (I know, not a crusade, but whatever) go to war against Aurvandil. Luria was asked to help, but instead it declared war on D'Hara (a Moot realm). Not a move that really warms up the trust issues.
Now LN claims to want peace so that it can go help in the war against Aurvandil, and claims that D'Hara is the one that's at fault - when the whole mess could have been avoided had LN just supported the war against Aurvandil in the first place. And LN expects the Moot and SA to somehow trust them this time, despite the fact that it was LN who started the war anyway?

It's more complicated than that.
First off, Luria
did declare war on Aurvandil. However, due to...a series of complicated internal problems (which I can go into if you
really want me to...), it was no longer politically possible to continue the war against Aurvandil. There was another faction within Luria that desired war against D'Hara for particular purposes. The rest of Luria was persuaded to go along with that because it was, at the time, the only way to keep Luria together. (Actually, to some extent, it has continued to be so.) It's not, you must understand, specifically the war against D'Hara that serves this purpose, but a war against outsiders generally.
As I pointed out to Lanyon, Luria Nova truly believes that if we let Aurvandil devour the west, they will turn their faces east and be the stronger for their meal.
Luria Nova has every intention of fighting Aurvandil. We have all along. The only question has been whether it would be before D'Hara was crushed or after. If D'Hara will let go of their foolish attachment to Luria Vesperi and agree to stop our war for the time being, then we can all get about destroying the threat to all of us.
