A closed meeting was called forth by the Factol that consisted of most of the highest ranked Harmonium members. After the meeting ended a single word came out of Factol. War. The Harmonium had chosen that this time they had gone too far to ignore, it was time for war.
"We gave them a chance to walk away, but it would seem they have in their foolish perception thought that they could stand against the full might of Harmonium or the Fraternity of Order, they will surely be proved wrong. We will negotiate no longer, we will hear them no longer. They brought it upon to themselves, we will ensure this plague will be eradicated from the face of Sigil and from the face of the planes.
Hereby Hildmor d'Kridis will be publicly announced wanted alive or dead along with his trapped soul for the whole sum of two hundred thousand jink. Every member of Cartel and Syndicate will be wanted alive if possible, or dead for two thousand jink each. Make no mistake. We did not start this war, they attacked us first and now we will respond! They can surrender or face their judgement.
Mover one Fiodrel, take five squads of task forces to find and hunt down any Cartel and Syndicate members from planes, use any means necessary. Mover three Kleivous, you will be given one hundred notaries to go clean up the Under Sigil from this pest. Inform Killeen Caine, we want this corpse of Hildmor to be scryed to find him or his cloning facility. Mover one Deccarus, take a squad and destroy the foundations below it and let it be the new ground monument to mark what happens to those whom wage war against Harmonium."

But if it takes a little war to get others to set things right, the Harmonium way, so be it. ThatÂ’s how weÂ’ll reach our golden harmony."
That explains their readyness for war. Second is that couple last times they had made lawsuits against Cartel, Syndicate and Hildmor, they won both. Each time penalty got higher, but still did they persist performing such actions against law, peace, harmony and Harmonium that the next step had to come thus war.
Now proofs how this is easily deducted. Nobody else was targetted, sure couple guards died, but hey... they were 'guarding a specific person' rather than being bystanders in random explosion that could be blamed to Anarchists. They all happened simultaneously and only thing connecting each person was single case tied to single person whom happens to have reputation for doing such.
This combined with happening so soon after trial had occurred... there was really no other conclusion that could be reached to. So if something can be said... biggest mistakes were:
1) Simultaneousity... it's a clue they're all tied together.
2) No collateral damage (other than guards of prime victim)... obviously targeted.
3) So soon... "vengeance is best served cold" as goes the saying. ))
