You can call those 'self-inflicted wounds' and have a point, sure, but the fact remains that if all the WoL did in Garlemald was hit the Tower of Babil, slightly less people probably would've died. I'm not saying the WoL was a bad influence on the whole thing, but it's pretty visible that they were not exactly winning support.

And yeah, it would've been even worse with Gaius around.
They talked about this when Gaius showed up. Hardly anybody knows what the WoL looks like. They don't have a face to put to the name.
