Æsir's Crusade vs. TLR

The issue is certainly not whether TRO agreed to the terms. When watching one's alliance be destroyed (and in the absence of a ceasefire while terms are being negotiated) most caring leaders would accept whatever terms weren't so outlandish as to be farcical. So maybe we can put that point to rest?

So this war is because of a surrender term for medals?

Ok, here is my take. (not that anyone asked)

Medals cost Prestige.  Prestige can be had without any RL financial doings.
The amount required for this term of surrender,  can easily be gotten without RL cost to anyone in the amount of time given to acquire it.  Especially since we are talking about an alliance cost.  8 members saving there daily for 3 months would easily get this. (the alliance in question does have more members than that).  8 months were given. 
If this term were unreasonable then the alliance in question had every right to argue this before the terms were made public. 
The winning side in this dispute in my experience is not an unreasonable person and negotiations were had.

Now assuming the terms were unreasonable,, who appointed AEsir  as the defender of what is right.
If this is only reason they declared then it was declared without any good reason or forethought and AEsir could quite possibly find themselves on the other end of it from an even bigger Alliance or Confederation of Alliances in the future. 
Just my opinion  but had to let it out.

I'm from aesir & yes we are not going to attack anyone in tlr who is below 15k pop.
