Ailiando was of course aware of what he was doing. And just as clearly, he knew what it meant.
It meant that he, as the Elf King, was handing over royal authority and territory, effectively splitting them apart, for the first time since his ancestors had led their people into Elariya nearly ten thousand years ago.
It meant that he was very likely pushing the entire High Elven Kingdom into the Abyss named 'Struggle for Royal Power' again in the years to come.
Such a dangerous precedent was being set.
Once a conflict broke out, it would no longer be a so-called internal contradiction.
It would be an all-out, thorough war!
Any High Elf who had read even a little history knew that their ancestors had left Toriel, the main material plane, because they were weary of the seemingly endless Crown Wars.
From the outbreak of the first Crown War, when the Aireivanda Empire attacked the Maileyelita Kingdom, to the end of the fifth Crown War, when their ancestors left their homes behind.
