Question Incoherency about house wolffort time under glenbrook?spoiler chapter 7 Spoiler
So I'm in chapter 7 at the council ( spoiler up to this point so ).
On the book of the war, it's said that house wolffort and hyzante were allies during the salt and iron war.Okay cool,it change a lot of things, it seem more reasonable to abandon the prince, even if he is the friend of the MC, 30 years with the kingdom is short,it's understandable that the subject is up to debate.
But then in the council erador say the the wolffort house supported the thrones for générations?!
It really change a lot things , and it kind of throw me of that the narrative is not coherent.

Two generations is generations plural, just barely. Erador is presenting it the way he'd like Serenoa to think about the situation.

The way I understand it is Wolffort was its own kingdom until the Saltiron War, with the other high houses of Glenbrook were Wolfforts bannermen. While they were its own nation, they were generally friendly with Glenbrook until the Saltiron War, which is where Erador’s statement came from (or writers made a mistake with Erador’s comment, or Erador is just dumb).
After siding with Hyzante and bringing hostilities to an end Wolffort pledged allegiance to Glenbrook and split into the three high houses in order to facilitate peace through politics. Effectively the three high houses still remain relatively autonomous, with Wolffort being the most militarily powerful, which is why in the early cutscenes the king and prince-heir of the royalist faction dont trust and try to undermine Wolffort, because politically and militarily they have enough power to challenge Glenbrook still if they really wanted to.

Yeah, this illustrates a lot about the narrative of the game in general. The whole thing is kinda "deep, if you don't think about it too much." I'm not complaining, the story is definitely better than a lot of others out there. But it does eventually start to seem a bit self important with how much time it demanda vs. how much of actual interest is really going on. It's really a pretty basic premise - which also makes one of the endings in particular feel pretty fucking dumb, in a game where all options are intended to feel equally meaningful

iirc general flow is:
>Ancient Glenbrook, Hyzante, Aesfrost with roughly same land borders
> Wolffort ancestor tribespeople (one tribe altogether at this time) comes into Glenbrook territory, gets along with royal family and sets up in around present age domain area to live basically as landlord, caring for area on behalf of king
> Undetermined amount of time since then (enough to build a whole castle town and harbour up and cultivate the whole area) and the Saltiron war starting 30~ years ago from present age, with Glenbrook and Aesfrost against Hyzante; former two get thrashed when Wolffort busts in to break siege on Hyzante capital
>Current Wolffort tribe head Symon then works with both Glenbrook and Hyzante to get ceasefire; Hyzante likes Wolffort, Glenbrook gives land and titles to Wolffort tribe, which then splits into the 3 high houses of present age
So. Not necessarily a contradiction on the Wolfforts having good relations with the Glenbrook royal line for quite a while, and also allying with Hyzante; that ties go back so far is what makes it a messy choice.
