Tremaine really didn\'t exhaust all other options available to him, though. He jumped to assassination to disrupt the alliance immediately after the mage storm hit under the assumption that Valdemar was responsible without even waiting for any intel back - he can activate a sleeper assassin but he can\'t take the time to get an agent to confirm \

I still feel very firmly that killing someone who you know personally has done terrible things is not comparable to having someone killed purely on the basis of their position due to unconfirmed conclusions you\\\'ve reached on incomplete intel. Had the situation in Mage Storms been reversed and the Valdemarans had believed that the storm was an attack by Hardorn, their response would almost certainly not have involved an assassination. The killing of Ancar and company was not a purely political decision, it was based on ample concrete evidence of things Ancar had done and was continuing to do.
There\\\'s also the point that the Valdemarans do not permanently write Tremaine off as a villain over the incident. Solaris goes overboard with her truth curse, no question - but again, she wasn\\\'t involved in the Ancar situation so her reaction to the later situation can\\\'t really be contrasted to anything. The Valdemarans are angry and upset over the assassination, but when Tremaine is proven to them to be a genuinely decent guy trying to do his best by Hardorn, they\\\'re able to accept him as an ally.
