Because a couple of Eponllyn nobles came to Westmoor and joined us because they didn't agree with Eponllyn's hostile attitude to the Southern Alliance, and Westmoor in particular. They said, "Hey, Eponllyn is planning to attack Westmoor". Combined with some other diplomatic stuff that was going on, it was more than enough to persuade Thomas and others that Eponllyn had hostile intent.
There was no 'spying' or "sharing realm messages with hostile foreign powers". Just an fashioned defection by dissidents.
That's not exactly what happened but this isn't the thread for it. They didn't join Westmoor until after we had Oligarch and we banned them and you knew about it before then. Also I'm sorry to say they lied to you because we weren't planning to attack Westmoor.
