There's already a thread about this.
And there's very little bizarre about this war, Luria has had it coming for ages. It's been bullying everyone else since forever. And the events Morek talks about are hardly from a long lost age, Luria's backstab of them really isn't all that long ago.
The only people who are puzzled are Lurians who have been blinded for years by relying on their leaders (and misreably continuing to do so) in order to try to get a grasp of what's going on. If you rely on stuff that passes through leadership filter, then obviously it's hard to see why people don't like you.
By the way, the Blood Cult only ever existed on Beluaterra.
