Though I understand the Temerian forces' dismay and despair considering how badly they were treated by Radovid, I still consider their deal with Nilfgaard to be obscene.

I might have developed my own and peculiar way of thinking, but as far as I know all the Northern Kingdoms - even if quarreling and waging war over certain territories - have always shielded each other's arse. Becoming a vassal state to secure your own 'freedom' wasn't the best of the moves, as eliminating both Radovid and Djikstra crumbles the whole Redanian system, thus bringing the doom of the whole North. Will the Empire respect Temerian traditions and customs? Highly unlikely. History teaches that when foreign forces occupy a land that does not belong to them to any cultural or ethnical extent things end up badly.

You could make a comparison between the Nilfgaardian Empire and the Holy Roman one, both invading northern lands. If you want to know how slavic peoples and their respective Kingdoms dealt with the Teutonic armies, take a few history classes and see for yourself.
