Kahn gave his own ultimatum to the representative of the Council of Great War. There, he specifically mentioned a timeframe where he wanted an audience with the rest of the rulers of the nations within the coalition.
Now, what was the point of making all these demands again and again instead of joining the council first and then working up to gain his spot among their ranks?
The answer was simple... Self-worth.
Having his own pride and self-respect, while fully being aware of the need to join the council and avoid unnecessary persecution... Kahn was also preparing for the future.
There was absolutely no way that, whether it was Kahn as the Hero of Darkness, the Abyss Empire, or the Rakos Empire, would ever be treated as equals within the council.
What he wanted was not acknowledgement but access to the territory they already had control over and had official routes for traversal.
