Check a map? You must have missed Westgard's mentions of Knyazes and the fact that Golden Farrow, a new realm's capital, is a mere two regions away from our borders. Anyone who's been paying attention will have noticed, by virtue of our land acquisitions, that Westgard's armies range over hundreds of miles. Golden Farrow was one of the next goals after Knyazes in part to alleviate 'too far from realm' issues with our army movements to the south. As I understand, Selena even mentioned our intention to take the city to the other generals only a few weeks before TG took it.

As far as many of us in Westgard are concerned, TG is a direct assault upon it's sovereignty. A new realm established itself in a city we'd announced intent to take, with their capital a mere two regions from our current borders, and sharing a ferry lane. Particularly when said realm is self-described as a raiding realm, that's very understandably concerning to a neighbor.

They were obviously never even a remote threat to you as proven by the simple fact that you took their capital with little resistance.

The distance from realm penalty isn't what it used to be. I made it all the way from D'Hara to Darfix with no problem simply because we were allied with Astrum.
