This. I have never understood the line of thinking that says that the fates of DoA and Ibladesh are somehow linked. Certainly DoA needs Ibby to survive, but eliminating DoA would just create a realm with twice the peasant population of Sirion and just as many nobles, and in possession of a very motivated religious wing. Is everyone certain that's such a good idea?
As opposed to allow two CoI realms to exist, with two capitals from which to recruit, capable of absorbing even more land, and both of them wanting to kill you? No thanks. Besides, I want my city back.
