Evidently the Veinsormoot are too busy manoeuvring amongst other realms to consider peace, and are too confident in the defence and resources provided by Sanguis Astroism and the overall reticence of the Commonweath to consider Aurvandil a genuine threat.
Uh.. since when has the 'Moot ever not considered Aurvandil a threat? We've considered you a major threat this entire war. Hell, that is half the reason the whole war even exists, because the 'Moot is terrified of you doing... exactly what you say you are about to do. Yeah, Aurvandil has the highest noble count and most active noble movement on the entire island... that's been known for a very long time. Anyone who has said otherwise is off their rocker.
Aurvandil is passed the point of trying to preserve the territory and integrity of the Veinsormoot,
*barf* Give me a break, when has Aurvandil EVER been concerned with "preserving the territory" or "integrity" of the 'Moot?
Oh, was it when you:
- Took in 3 regions from Barca and refused to give them back?
- Went back on the Evanburg treaty?
- Were preserving their integrity when you marched into Rettleville and "sharpened your swords on their Senate building"?
- When you proclaimed Barca's civilization nothing more than people living in sticks and mud?
- When you colonized the Marocciden's most important city with a puppet state?
- Was it when you captured nobles and council members during battles, called them uncivilized vermin, and stole their gold?
Aurvandil cared about preserving 'Moot territory and integrity? Don't talk to us like we're idiots right to our faces, man... sheesh.
