Partially, but not the main reason.
Is it because Jaswap is tired of being conquered and doesn't want Scalehome to take over?  Or perhaps because Tyrogatore himself created Jaswapan Striking?  These are logical suggestions, but I'm hoping it's because they want to show support for the curb stomp heard around the world.

At some point shortly after you hear word of the events in Baenrl, Ajax arrives at your headquarters in Balinhost.

Treetop and Habastly remain neutral.  Lakius' religion has no agents in or around the forest since the sky giants abandoned them.

Hemator goes as Pacyr does.

Who else do you consider?
Haas’ focus is on getting validation from religious leaders against the Greenfellow threat, not so much national support. It’s a PR campaign - if we get the major religions to back our cause, people will eventually follow. Haas targets conversations with the high clerics of non-evil deities not opposed to Tyrogatore: Stasis, Celetal, Han~Sui, Tfop, Habastly, Smofarf, Lakius, Hemator, Dedestroyt, Gnarion, Treetop, Arsuranyodel, Melodi, Mouser, Drunnbar. Everyone in the same room at the same time would be great, though 1-on-1 sessions would be acceptable. I can travel via wind walk and word of recall. Messaging emphasizes that Greenfellow’s subjugation of the forest is based on intimidation, coercion, and misinformation, and GF’s rise is a threat to every deity’s power.

Do we know any details about the coup in Baenrl?

Is there a noticeable difference in weather (e.g., more normal) since the gnolls’ assault on the weather singers?

You speak with your old friend Reik as a spokesdwarf for Drunnbar.  They support your side, but can offer limited help.

Mouser's faith supports you as well, but again can offer less help than Drunnbar.

Tfop is conflicted, likes neither side, and allows each cleric and faithful member to decide.

Gnarion's faith cannot decide, as gnolls and fire giants are despised but Greenfellow is seen as a subjugater.

Dedestroyt doesn't pick sides in war.

Your best response is from Han~Sui.  The religion declares yours to be the more honorable side of the war.  His faithful are barred from entering on the side of Greenfellow (unless grandfathered into alliance previously).

This is what you discover quickly:

The former king has managed to raise up an army of giants and is marching on his old castle.  The new king has ordered his giants in the Great Forest to remain in the forest.

This news comes from the giant outpost in the forest.

Not in the places you control.

Has the war reached the Plateau?  If so, do we have the support of the Plateaueans or the powers of Celetal?

News of the war has reached the Plateau, but the tinkers and cities of the Plateau have no interest in getting involved.

Celetal remains neutral in almost every war unless there is some threat to knowledge and thought.

Ajax seeks out Haas and/or Voruk when he arrives.

How about Smofarf? He's got something at stake with Greenfellow stealing faithful from his "magic" aspect.

Milo and the elders of Jaswap are happy to help.
Haas will take it all (divine and arcane) back to Jaswap, sell it, and divvy up the cash. Unless someone wants a specific item from the loot we collected. He will use his share to get some items crafted.

Does Dedestroyt have issues with cult deities?

Smofarf does not see a threat significant enough to involve the dwarven kingdom.  The forest doesn't have a lot of his faithful for magic, more for craft.
