Phantom: They chose peace over bloodshed, but considering what that WoR was about, I'm inclined to think they meant that they chose peace going forward, and that the war ended in an armistice signed on Vytal. Consider the end of WWII, with the establishment of the UN, without the Cold War immediately after.

I tend to think that the dissolution of Mantle as a state was a result of the war, in that the regime was dismantled and replaced, with Atlas rising in its stead but closely associating its academy with the state, thus naming it the same as the new nation. So the regime came first, and the academy was more an organ of the state than in other nations.
