I'd bet the Myrantians had enough magical mojo to make them a hard target and they decided to just let them be. That's the only explanation I can come up with. Just to be clear these Myrantians are not the ones that fought with the First Imperium? I believe that was the empire further south across the Lauriol Sea. This batch got run out for being to heretical even for the original Myrantians as I recall. So maybe they did have some funky magic (tentacles and all that
that gave their opponents pause. Otherwise I would think the Ssethregorans and Malfelans would have tag-teamed them to death. On the other hand maybe the Myrantians could have played the two nations off each other. But that seems unlikely to me.
Well, keep in mind as well that the Myrantians didn't worship the PoM, and may be Savosh vs Mandai. So the Malfelan's may have had less "ax to grind" with them, if they see that level of nuance in humans, since they were not related to the great Betrayal.
As for the relationship with the Ssethregorans, there has always been the question that both the Ssethregoran's and the Myrantian's reportedly come from continents to the south. Same continent? Inquiring minds want to know! If so, there may already be some relationship between the empires.
