One of the points that sways most of the Alliance nations was written by Rene’ Nari’. It states:
“The decision to place soldiers in harm’s way is the heaviest burden a nation’s government must face. If there is a method to reduce the number of casualties of one’s soldiers during a conflict, it is the obligation and responsibility of that nation’s governing body to implement that method or process.
As Sovereign Lord of Azin and her settlements, my decision to have the Talis Gate Portals and every building, creature and plant within three miles of the Gate Portal annihilated will haunt me to the end of my days.

Have Fallen
Are Falling
Will Fall
Before the darkness yields
What will the darkness yield to?
