What tenets? You seem to think Cador's a pacifist. He's most certainly a war hawk. I'd even wager he's shed a lot more blood than Zhukov has these past weeks and months.
And why would they give Cador a slap on the wrist? Zhukov is the one who tried butting into Westfold's war against Swordfell, then changed his mind and went for Astrum instead, soundly getting beaten before having his capital sacked and the holy site defiled by Astroists.
You basically called a crusade, and then two weeks later got Rome sacked by Saracens.
