I know I probably should stay out of this being new and all, but you people
are confusing the heck out of me.

As it seems so far, and I admit I could be wrong, the Yellowleaf peace
accords were designed for two things.
1) To stop an existing war.
2) To keep the same thing from happening again, mainly a foreign war.

Did it succeed, yes. The war did end and there have been no foreign wars
since on Provinia.
As for the current conflict that is going on, I don't think it has anything
to do with the accords. The horselords have admitted that they were
expecting retaliation for their continued harassment of LOTC. LOTC finally
did retaliate but not in a way that was expected. But in war, when does the
enemy ever do what is expected.
So Should LOTC not therefore also expect retaliation. They did after all
start stomping on another group that had nothing to do with the horselords
Ghazi. The fact that LOTC is on Provinia is mute. They escalated the
conflict and they must now what the consequences for that would be. As I see
it the only options at this point is to stop debating the accords to death.
Drop the past and start trying to figure out what can be down now.
We all know that due to the number of alliances and the cross alliances of
these alliances, that a little conflict can easily become a world war. We
also know that due to the nature of conflict, the innocent will get hurt.
Let the discussion then center on how to limit the consequences of this
conflict. How can we keep it from escalating further. How can we limit
casualties to non-combatants. Most importantly, how can this be ended.
