Everyone else? Pretty much only D'Hara since i've been playing. To be fair, before the event started a great deal of effort was made to piss away claims to the isles and declare a peace with D'Hara and Luria - then the event started and that peace turned into demands from the newly formed league and Barca, an ally of Luria's prior to the last war with D'Hara (and still considered to be an ally by many outside of that war) suddenly showed up in Luria's regions and declared war. During peace negotiations - yet Luria is the only one pointed at being guilty of using Peace Talks as a tactic to hide attacks? Funny
Morek's 'incident' of backstab was one event done in an effort to assist an ally, namely Asylon, during a war. One attack and wardec that lasted roughly a week and was brushed away faster than it started. Hardly the horrific accounts that they claim them to be. I was there, it took us longer to get there an leave than the fight and declaration lasted.
Funny how you refer to the 'leadership filter' when D'hara and the rest of the League are grossly guilty of employing that filter since the beginning of this war. Not to beat the dead horse of shared letters from within, but when confronted with the blatant lies - mysterious silence was the answer.
You are in Luria. You are not Luria's ruler. Your failure to grasp events surrounding Luria's fate are not because of how inexplicable they are, but because of the rose glasses you are viewing the events from. Everything you know is the result of information passing by a filter that suits Lurian leadership. "Barca was always great friends of ours, then suddenly, for no reason whatsoever, they turned on us!" Really? And you know this to be true because...? It was written "alliance" on the diplomacy page? Your ruler said so?
While some people might be content to bring everyone under the thumb of SA - nuts to that on principle of boredom. While there may be a great deal of whining about Luria's attitude in the past, someone has to play the "bad guy" on this Island. No one else was starting wars in the East, especially since Luria HELPED kill off Aurvandil and since Corsanctum bowed to Morek. Without war, this game is boring.
Don't you get me started on Aurvandil. When Luria came in to help against Aurvandil, you instead decided you'd rather launch a surprise war on D'Hara and KO'ed us. For almost all of the war, D'Hara couldn't fight because it was fending you off and struggling for survival, and you didn't participate because you were too busy trying to make a land grab. The little you did afterwards was inconsequential and in no way compensated for your siding with Aurvandil to begin with.
