Indeed, and you'll notice Eston just signed a controversial peace treaty with Coria when it almost *could* have tried to absorb the Duchy of Barad Falas. It did this with the intent of trying to turn the current war in the north from "Eston and Hammarsett trying to expand into Coria" to "Lets take the fight to the Cagilan Empire."
Man, I
totally called this. I was just telling Bedwyr on IRC that this was the motive for what is, frankly, an awful treaty on the surface. I win the future.
