Unity is impossible because the Spellguard arrest and murdur anyone who ever spoke a word to the rebellion, accidentally bumped into them on a road, or traded with them.

They therefore alienate themselves from many who would want to defend the gates against Drow.

Even people who are members of the Sovereign Host have been attacked, and this after Lt Dentra formalized in a letter our neutrality.

Therefore, the Spellguard have seen to it that only "loyalists" may actually participate in your "unified" defense of upper.
