Velax has gone over the reasons this was a stupid idea multiple times.
I was a little surprised when Bofeng spoke up, but his reasoning makes sense, too (surprisingly enough, based on our history with Cathay
).
This really isn't a matter of "the first war that happened, and everyone dogpiled on the aggressors." No, you could have picked a war that would have been seen as perfectly reasonable. In fact, it's possible that you couldn't have picked a
worse thing to do, though part of that is because of Coralynth's part in it, which I suppose you can hardly be blamed for.
I agree that what it resulted in kinda sucks for Sorraine, but I honestly don't see why you thought wiping out Ohnar West so soon after Velax very carefully kept them alive in the last war would be a good idea.
