I wouldn't carry this kind of reasoning too far if I were you. Let's
say, hypothetically speaking, that one AOO member (BtA) has been
attacking nobles starting on turn 2. Let's say, hypothetically
speaking, that BtA is hiding in the Chateau Olympique. If someone
(woof, woof) attacks the Chateau because they're harboring a known
killer, is that a noble act, or a foul deed? (Woof) The AOO would have
you believe it's a foul deed, because the Chateau's owner was merely
honoring his defense treaty, with a bandit.

I think not (woof). So I am somewhat leery of anyone who'd have a
defense treaty with the likes of BtA (aoooooooooooooo!)

He's not geting rich doing it -- 500 gold every couple of turns is
small change to anyone with a castle. And many factions have weather
magic books they can loan out; my allies have at 3 or 4.

BTW, the only people infesting Faery are the AOO -- they have a castle
up there, and are using it as a rapid transit system to funnel
reinforcements to Tollus.
