With regard to this war, I posted an OOC message to the rulers that would probably be best posted here as well:
Out-of-Character from Velax de Vere (2 days, 3 hours ago)

Alright, there's no easy way to explain this other than OOC. Arcaea's perhaps somewhat exaggerated outrage here isn't intended to shut down this war - it's trying to shake up the previous solid alliances. For a long time, wars in the Far East have been North vs South, more or less. With Kindara gone, the South doesn't really stand much of a chance now if old alliances remain stable. While it would certainly make IC sense for Arcaea and Sorraine and Coralynth to remain locked in alliance, dominating the island, I don't think it would be good for the health of the Far East to do so.
So in the interests of trying to keep things dynamic and exciting, I am attempting to break up these alliances to see new ones form. Just because Arcaea shakes a stick at you, please do not instantly back down. We have no intention of marching in to wipe out a realm because they are fighting a war we disagree with. We might march, certainly, but not with the intent of complete destruction. Not all wars must be fought to the death.
Just because Arcaea gets involved in a war doesn't mean we're trying to shut down all opposition. If we do get involved in the current war, we will not be looking to destroy Sorraine or Coralynth. We won't even be looking to take any regions, as we have quite enough already for our noble count. We're just trying to shake things up a bit when it comes to the alliances of the Far East.
Personally, I'd love to see a roughly East-West split come about. I think Arcaea, Zonasa and Ohnar vs Coralynth, Sorraine and Cathay would be a reasonably equal match.
