a) they've effectively been killed off even with Sirion supposedly trying to stop it, and failing miserably. Region lost the other day, 'nother takeover almost done as this is typed... (dynamic/political map is a beaut, even shows active TOs for those who like checking on such things)
b) If Caligus does agree to do the / a plan, south will stop all hostilities and avoid needless bloodshed/war/headache/bs. No more bombed-out wasted caligus, no more damaged infrastructure, not more bloodshed, no more pillage, no more chaos. Respite in the eye of the storm.
c) We've got people joining from multiple realms, and even other continents. We've already got more than enough numbers without pulling from the main Sirion-xavax contingency. Plus, I'd personally rather most xavax stay in sirion and do their own thing. Since day 1, Xavax was always meant to be a multi-realm concept, and this will finally be our chance to do that.
d) allies, allies everywhere. Some public, many secret, some waiting, some pulling strings, some funding, some politicking, and many surprising supporters who *would really be useful if they were a little more public about their support in both southern and northern realms *cough cough cough cough* Though at this point its really a moot point
