The Great Betrayal!

[Chiramu]

Their neutrality is to state that they do not favor any of the 3 City-States.

The Scions are still allied with Ul'dah, Limsa Lominsa, and Gridania through political means which is why they still obtain aid (information for their operations and resources to support Revenant Toll's development) from the three city-states.

So just ignore the fact that the whole city-state is in uproar over Nanamo's decision?

Well the incident with the Uproars did not escolate until 2.3.

The alliance with Ul'dah, Limsa Lominsa, and Gridania was formed through 2.1 to 2.3 because the Scions was more focused on establishing a proper alliance with the three city-states. Of couse through 2.1 to 2.3, the issue in Ul'dah was not well known how sever it was yet since the Scions were still focusing on rebuilding and moving at the sametime.

2.5 is just the point when it finally boils over.
