And did we really shit on their culture that much? We are hit with constant barrage of in-your-face "that's their way of life, we shouldn't judge blah blah blah". But you are right that there is literally no discussion on the actual moral conflict of this. The Devs are cowards in shying away from actually debating the issue. We just pretend we are all fine with what Alexandria is doing except the invading source part, even though canonically it could be very in character for a lot of people to not be fine with this.

Maybe because I am personally not too fond of Solution 9, so I am really not very bothered by this in particular. It is actually surprisingly okay in the sense that at least we did have to kill their monarch to stop their aggression, instead of you know, sing Kumbaya and Sphene suddenly repents or whatever. THAT would have been vomit inducing.
'Alexandria' is not invading in the same way individuals of a nation don't unilaterally agree with the policies of their government. Sphene and Zoraal Ja were invading, and the feelings on the general public was seldom explored. While it was necessary to kill them, we did not need kill them AND THEN install Gulool Ja as the new king when we know Alexandria has their own governing entity. Worse, when Gulool Ja said he wanted no part in it, Wuk Lamat insisted he think more carefully about giving up control of an army. In reality though, he's just a child who answers to Wuk Lamat, so it comes off as Wuk Lamat insidiously encouraging him to remain king so she can effectively control their army too.

Solution None has been totally colonised by Tuliyollal; but it's okay, because the peace we believe in is one where all nations are united under one rule—oh wait, that's Garlemald.

Well, it's okay because Sphene technically wasn't 'real' and neither were the Endless, so it's okay to ignore the morals behind shutting them down because we don't consider them to be truly ali—wait, that's the Ascian M.O.

Well, it's okay, because the ends justify the means, and we have no reason whatsoever to believe that a world free of strife and sorrow, a world that only knows peace and joy, won't bring about severe societal collap—Ah. Scratch that one too.

Well...at least Sphene will come back in the patches and repent for her crimes so Wuk Lamat can fuck off out of a foreign land and go home.
