One problem also is that there was little to no politics at all going on. That little stirring-up I did back then, which was intended as both a basis for political conflict as well as for diplomacy unfortunately led to nothing but the removal of Matis ambassadors from the desert. The Fyros, as far as I remember, had no ambassadors in Matia anyway. It's probably just me, but the thought that Fyros hate Matis and vice versa and therefore should not have some sort of diplomatic business is very short-sighted, as such an attitude makes politicians (in this case the Akenak) pretty redundant.
