I am sorry give it back to Svunnetland?  For what?  Roleplaying?

Or like the demand that Hoshi divorce in order not get attacked?  Where 
is the nobility and RP in that?  We are talking about amoung the worst 
crimes in the medeval world.  She would be stoned for such actions and 
anyone suggesting such would be shunned and a societal leaper.  Conan 
will not be shunned because it doesn't serve the cause.

You speak like there is a great crime that happened.  Svunnetland, TA, 
and Arcaea have been invovled in less wars than the rest of the island.  
The crime that they committed was not allying and getting peace with the 
whole damned world in order to win.  Svunnetland chief amoung them.

We also respected the credo that started the lands of a honest shared 
history.  Everyone else has thrown that away in favor of whatever is 
more mallable to get what we want.  The prefect example is AC.  AC 
currently claims that the will stand by their allies no matter what and 
the realm they have been allied with from the very start is Las.  AC's 
new history has antagonism between AC and Svunnetland from the start 
with Svunnetland ordering AC off to war.  AC had a wary peace with Las 
and no real trust for around a year.  AC and Svunnetland had an alliance 
for around a year and one of AC's conditions, that if Svunnetland AC 
were staying neutral in the PoZ Nighthelm war was that we shouldn't be 
letting TA help PoZ.. which sparked 2 wars against Svunnetland.

The reason that Alliance failed is because the second King of AC refused 
to speak to Svunnetland pretty much ever.

And this is not hidden, this is all public.  It is willful lying to or 
intentional ignorance to make a goal and still stay the guys in the 
white hats.

Las has invaded all or threatened of their neighbors including Eth and 
AC including destorying 2 realms.  Soliferum has invaded and plotted to 
invade all of their neighbors including destroying 2 realms.  Nh has 
invaded all of their neighbor at least twice, and destroyed a realm.

Svunnetland has been invaded by all of their neighbors and when given 
the easy kill of a realm showed mercy and returned that realms land.  
Svunnetland is getting nothing back that they have put out there.  Most 
of all RP.
