It is indicated that the Five Nations Confederate Lords integrate a conglomerate, and so a link is formed between them.

The figurative language is introduced when a heavy burden or a hard-to-handle situation stands before the Confederate Lords, and these issues are represented as a tree (a heavy object) that falls over the Lords' link.

The purpose of this metaphore is to declare that the link joining the Confederate Lords must endure against all things.
