The Sadian-Kelnys Conflict

the conflict has been ongoing for 57 years, but picked up when Thana was 3 or 4 and has gotten less in the past few years

Sadian
so 58 years (7/12/7938) ago there was a military coup that put Commander Zeth Attili into power. the coup was because the old leader of Sadian (King Nagrim Mizez) wasn't doing his duty to protect and care for his people and was letting them starve while he lived in luxury after a famine that had decimated parts of sadian

Commander Attili wanted to use resources from Kelnys to keep the people of Sadian alive and she also wanted to set up a political system to help care for the people better.

Kelnys
Kelnys refused to send aid to Sadian during that famine

Since the start of the war Kelnys has lost a ton of land in the past 50 years of war, including most of the rich farmland that used to be eastern Kelnys (the Leomagne Vale). When the war first started the borders of Kelnys stretched all the way to the edge of Loch Mareen up to Coliston Bay. The only reason Kelnys has been able to continue to survive is that the riches available in the Dalnear Peaks make them able to afford to import food from other countries.

Nyfi
so Nyfi says they're neutral, but several of the powerful families in lourcona and other major cities are directly funding the war

most of the funding goes towards the sadian side because they have a closer relationship with them.

nyfi also doesnt have a huge army so they are worried about potential repercussions if they stand against sadian

Simic Involvement/the Summit
A summit meeting with King Yorvarax Gilrean and Commander Zeth Attili is being hosted by Nyfi on the spring equinox to finally put aside past history and try to negotiate out a peace between Kelnys and Sadian.

Carqen Cutler, Sadian's head of like intrigue stuff, has put together a plan to send the Simic along as guards and to do some investigating into the Nyfi diplomat (Quoni Twistguard), and to if possible get them onto Sadian's side.
