I recommended distancing and making a new alliance too. Korlath did that which was absolutely the correct choice. Deciding to protect the TPF retirement village is a nice gesture on his part as I know I grew fond of the UFP people. Ancient ones aside, I doubt anyone has any beef with those who will be left in the alliance, so I don't really see how this qualifies as some sort of step backwards for UFP. I do question how necessary it really is since I wasn't attacked once (other than in my personal war with Haven) in the years as sometimes one of two TPF nations remaining. Maybe the treaties thing, but that shouldn't have been unexpected. I would have preferred switching sides for laughs and variety, but that is just me.
Maybe I need to get Bernkastel back up in this place and reform the AOD Brigade to distance myself too. He laughed at me when I told him I was still here. π€£
