I fully agree. The Arrolians are friendly to the Lunars in that they share a religion and much of their culture. But they really dislike the Carmanian hierarchy, and the current Lunar Emperor, so they are not allies. But I think the Arrolians and Carmanians enjoy free travel, trade, etc. I'm sure there are Carmanians who want the Empire to go out and conquer them, but I think the Emperor and heartland politics holds them back - I think many of the Heartland powers that be prefer the Arrolians to the Carmanians. So the political situation can be edgy, but by and large the inhabitants get on even if there rulers don't.
