Ummm, Ronin are only where they are because they deal broke us before this latest deal break and we decided the the best course of action was to lean into it. The only reason Ronin is in the position they are in right now is because WE put them there specifically because of the lack of response to their first deal break. Deals were only really followed before for 1 of 2 reasons. Either your own internal moral compass (and I think in the current atmosphere there are very few kingdoms who actually care about their own word, even if they believe that they do they can rationalize deal breaks with BS like "you were interfering in our B2B") OR they think it will be more costly to break those deals. In the past that was actually true, at least in the top. So YES it IS Emeriti (and other's, not pointing soley at you Binar) fault that Ronin and other's feel like there is no need to honor their deals, because their literally isn't. I mean when they have already deal broken earlier and been massively rewarded for it why wouldn't you do it again? Especially so close to the EoA.
