If you ask me, a good old civil war might be just what that stupid town needs. After enough death and destruction, they could realise they have only been hurting themselves with that insane division, instead of using their energy for something constructive. Probably they should get rid of all the clergymen as well, or at the very least, the top level, absolutely. At the end of the day, such a situation is nothing but an artificial frozen conflict the clergy used to accumulate power for themselves.
