"You keep falling into the same trap that it matters what they think. It doesn't matter what they think for themselves"

I totally agree

"The fact is nexus is everyone's enemy, and always will be."

More or less correct (a fair number of nexuns won't make individual mages or the scion cabal enemies despite the moral balance but your statement is close enough to true)

The fact that you are missing is that the opposite is also true, Nexus is everyone's Ally, and always will be.


That fact leaves it open to every individual to make a decision about how to deal with people you know may be here to help you one day and out to get you the next. You know a group of people like that IRL? Lawyers... Do you believe that all lawyers should be hated and stoned Mr. Graatch because they are not always on your side?

Now when it comes to cabal relationships they are managerd by mortal leaders. There is a lot of percieved off limits policies that are not off limits. Any cabal can enter into a war with nexus and treat them as enemies at all times if their mortal leader gives the thumbs up.

You don't see fort do it because that is what the nature of fort is, The maran might be totally down for it but the acolytes certainly wouldn't be. Whichever group holds more sway in the cabal at the given time will dictate that policy so if you want fort to raid nexus, roll a fort and get leader and make it policy.
