People amaze me some times. Not always in a good way.
What everyone is assuming is that the alliance is a unified effort in the current war between Lukon and Oritolon. Why would anyone think that considering there has been no discussion about it anywhere? Paranoia and narcissism?
Think for a moment from the view point of someone else... Lukon is trying to build something based off of the foundations which Outer Tilog have wanted for some time. Just like OT wants BBQ of many flavors...Lukon thrives on war... both of which have dwindled over time as the Colonies have come to where they are today. So OT has the idea of "hey lets all get back to roots so we can eat" Lukon has the idea of "hey lets get back to roots so we can have more war and more fun"....
So I have the idea of "hey lets do this right and provide a lasting structure to help keep this going so we do not end up right back here again."
So... Lukon and OT have the same end goal in mind and that makes perfect sense to unite them and any other realm who is on board (depending on the reclassifying of MT as a dwarf realm perhaps...lol sorry Fey, Val will do what she can)...
In other words, the Colonies are uniting without Oritolon because ONLY Oritolon has chosen not to. It wont stop the war but it does not mean any other realm is coming to fight in it....then again it does not mean they will not either. All it means is that Oritolon is loosing out on any say in the founding of what ever structure we end up creating for the Colonies.
Ortitolon will make themselves into an outcast who will one day find themselves wishing they had thought things through long term rather than acting on pride.
Then again... maybe you will destroy Lukon in the war. Then congratulations... you will have prolonged the boredom of the rest of the Colonies while placing your selves in the same position as Lukon.... which frankly is a position where you come to terms with your player responsibility to help make the game fun for others and your self. Now balance that with the effort to do it in a way that your character would.
Feel free to tremble in fear of seeing alliances made... but sheesh dont jump to conclusions. If you have a question ask it... or better yet get to the bottom of it IC.
