Sartania didn't lose because Lasanar fell - Cathay and Aenilia were running that war, and Orphen had a policy of never killing off realms. Galiard didn't, but Jenred convinced both of them to not only spare Arcaea but to help restore part of it if a new government were put in place and certain changes made.
Lasanar was already circling the drain by then and wasn't going to be able to do much about it one way or the other.
The hilarious thing is that Jenred wasn't even angling for that. He was actually just trying to arrange a safe refuge for himself and Edara under the cover of negotiating. He was...Quite surprised the cover worked out that way.
So many of Jenred's so-called great plans were like that, incidentally, that he was firmly and completely convinced he
was favoured by the Aenil, because surely that was the only reason so many lost causes of his actually ended up working. And, as that only started happening after he got engaged to Edara, he interpreted it as a divine blessing for being with her. Odd man, Jenred.
