Why would Zormite seriously need a good reason to start a war? Why can't they just be announcing that they are invading Dustari because Zurkiba joined, while actually doing it for imperialistic reasons? Since when is it an international crisis when two kingdoms go to war?
A Zormite Dictator finally got the balls to say that he doesn't want to be Dustari's little handservant anymore. And I applaud him for that.
