The first thing Myllenoris did after the reception was look for allies. Osrona was a monolith of IC power with a lot of decently strong fighters, so that was logical from an IC standpoint. It had also been recently attacking Theria -Myllenoris v Osrona started less than a year after Myl+Os v Theria+Ilburg. The argument we used was pretty simple. "If Osrona will attack its own ally, its going to come for you next. Join us and beat Osrona together, or lose individually." I'm obviously very biased regarding that war, but insinuating OOC motivations when it made perfect IC sense isn't really something I'm happy to see. It'd be like me saying the only reason Alexander started the conflict in the reception was because you, Ilio, OOCly knew there was an overwhelming chance of victory for Osrona. I'm still kinda shocked that Asta and Regulus got out of there -and lets be honest, Regulus didn't 'betray the purpose of the marriage', he got forced to choose Asta or act like a full on psychopath and break the bond.
When a settlement has garnered bad blood with every other settlement by warring them, of course they're gonna team up to fight them. Myllenoris' post war plans, then actions, were based around player characters -Regulus fought very hard to stop Asta conquering Osrona, and Finley was never really the type to conquer. You can wish things were different, but I don't really think its fair to dictate what you think would be 'better' for other people's characters to do based on your own views. ICly sure, but not OOCly.
Now, regarding this: 'having loose morals ic / no beliefs/ not following lore /coalition peace pact / friendship prevails mentality makes ur settlement boring to be in.' I don't necessarily disagree. Lore is there for a reason, and you should ideally stick to your guns. I'm not perfect when it comes to that, I'll admit as much. But I also think forcing endless war isn't a solution either. The Coalition was fine as a springboard for the Barsburg arc, but then things happened and it was delayed(or set aside?) in favour of something else. Even with the Coalition there was still things going on; ie. Theria's leadership changes, Myllenoris going into the Vale, Osrona rebuilding, etc. Could there be more going on? Probably. I think Nysea's existence might have exacerbated things with a bunch of rebirths going there instead of to the people who won the war, but not really anything that can be done about that now.
As a final thing, I'll say this: despite being on the opposite side of the war, I've had no OOC problem with you. But saying things like this: 'assumed other people would treat ic with the respect it deserved' with the implication then being they didn't comes across as really quite rude. People know how to play their characters, its not fair to dictate the way things go as wrong because it doesn't fit your ideal world. That may not be what you meant, but its really how it came across to me.
