The only Jonatelans aiding the KOW are freebooters and mercenaries, the King has not committed any forces either way (though he seems to be leaning towards helping Loskalm, I suspect his real reason for not being involved in the battle is wanting his armies for his domestic wars).
I suspect the the Loskalm hierarchy are quietly rather disturbed at the mess the Jonatelans have made of their theology, but bear in mind that Jonatela only left the Ban in 1616. In the small number of years since then, I think the Loskalm hierarchy is still struggling with the question of what to do about Jonatela, and just counting themselves lucky that they seem to be friendly, and possibly valuable allies, and not another KOW. They probably imagine that they can correct their errors of theology in time. I don't think that Loskalm likes Jonatela, but I think that with religious ties to bind them, and both of them with wars to fight, they are unlikely to be attacking each other anytime soon.
Cheers
Dave
