Thanks for the update. I never realized how a bit of analysis really deflates all of Eb's rhetoric about the 'noble cause' driving the Vendrien Guard.

But it's right there, it's a noble cause of nobles, no contradictions.

I am very confused as to why you think that surrendering is treason or that it's wrong.
Their choices, at this point are:

1. Suicide by fighting chorus
2. Suicide by fighting fatebinder (taken, idiotic)
3. Conscription into chorus with a high chance of dying.

Why would you ever pick 1 or 2 if you are not a complete moron?

1. Continue to fight the Chorus, go get the Dauntless and the Stalwart insignia to get through the windwall and free the country. Irentis was planning this.

Yeah but that's also impossible because the insignia belongs to the fatebinder one way or another, even if he doesn't own it yet and even if they do make it past the windwall, they still have to contend with regent's forces which will gently caress em up. (it's unclear how many people an insignia can cover at once too).

As for chorus being slated for death, they have no way of knowing that so it doesn't count. From their perspective it's just a long odds gamble to survive and maybe in a few generations try to rebuild stalwart. As of right now, they are functionally defeated and have exactly 0 winning plays, just '"maybe try to build the long odds" plays.
