At this point, Lothar already feels like he cannot rely on anything outside of Bavaria, so angering Elberhard would mean nothing to him. If he had his way, the borders would be lined with fortresses manned by Bavarian armies. Bavaria would be concerned only about itself while the rest of the Reich continued to fall apart. Batten down the hatches, boys! There are rough seas ahead!

Of course, I'm sure some of this is due to my OOC knowledge, but I'm conceding some RP irregularities simply due to the difficulty of being a Player and a DM simultaneously.
