One thing that seems to be indicated by the last lore page of Tamar Rising, the nabbing of all Comstar assets in the FWL, and the deal Petr Kalasa made with Othar in Redemption Rites; is that the Sea Foxes will be bringing online the HPG network and essentially be the new Comstar. If the Clans have the advantage of interstellar communications, that maybe enough of a barrel to put the FWL over that they agree to a deal negotiated by the Sea Foxes to join the Star League. The FWL as the first Great House to join the Star League would be somewhat poetic considering how integral a Marik was to the founding of the original Star League.
I’m not sure how any of that works.
- The end of EA is the FWL declares war and starts the first moves to attack the Empire. Not exactly ready to join
- FWL is used to no HPG. Being denied that isn’t gonna stop them now. It would provide an advantage for the Empire on defense though.
- Speaking of. The Empire has 10 clusters and a Keshik to defend with and has had several of those mangled, including the Keshik. So unless the Foxes want to put their own asses on the line as shock troops for Alaric, who’s bending the FWL over the barrel?
- I don’t see Spirit Cats betraying the one group that’s treated them well in the last century because… ilClan? I dunno what the sales pitch is.
We also saw Alaric
reject Rasalhague Dominion for not being 100% in favor of joining. It looks like he wants a big pure clan league What’s different that he would take the deal with FWL?
There’s always room for me to be wrong. I just don’t see how FWL goes from putting boot to Wolf Empire neck to joining Alaric’s faux league in a short time period.
