The past defines peoples actions, and you cant just say oh well, since they all of a sudden are doing things for the better, it all makes up for the horrible things theyve done.Uldah literally zombified a city. Thats pretty similar to body altering and "chemical warfare" that Garlemald has done. People seem to have this major double standard for their precious scions or wol or city states that they blind themselves from the truth. The WoL and scions were complicit in the Doma Castle flooding. The WoL and scions were complicit with manipulating tribes to fight their war for them.
And who says that the city states are perfect and angelic? That they dont do anything wrong? But their wrong doings pale in comparsion to Garlemald. Also again please only take recent events into account. Its not fair to count things that happened a long time ago. (Just like it would not be fair to hate on Garlemald 100 years from now if they have changed) The war with the zombification after all happened hundreds of years ago.

The recent city states have problems that is true. Problems that every state on the world will face. Problems that are bad. But lets compare these few problems they still have with the huge amount of horrible stuff Garlemald has done over the last years including doing experiments on their own people. How can we even beginn comparing those? Thats like saying that someone who steals stuff is just as horrible as someone who is a mass murderer.

I dont think that destroying the castle or winning the Xaela over to help with that one battle was really that morally bad. We played by their rules and won. They could have been in danger in the future if Garlemald won. The castle was necessary just like I dont think that its a war crime that a canon took out that one building in Ala Mhigo...the war crime came from Fordola bascially killing her own men. All that stuff is war. And its not great. But there are differences between war and war crimes. (I do agree though that the pixie stuff was horror)
