Episode: Skal'dajan Diplomacy
Posted by Story on 06/07/20
Some time ago, House Pravus set out to conquer the Saffron Chain and establish themselves as the newest great house of the Compact. The large chain of Islands far to the southeast of Arvum had been raided for generations by House Thrax and other seaborne powers, but had never been brought under control of the Compact. When House Pravus set out on its conquest, one of their earliest fights was against a group of slavers- slavers who it was discovered were from the Dune Kingdom of Skal'daja, one of the powerful city-states of Eurus. In the battle that followed, Pravus emerged victorious, but Skal'daja declared it would send a fleet to Arvum to 'chasten' the Compact and demand restitution.
At the same time, freed slaves from the Saffron began to arrive in the Compact- mostly on House Pravus' isle of Setara, but then in Arx and the other ports. And waves of Eurusi refugees fleeing the Dune Kingdoms started to arrive in the Compact in unprecedented numbers. The Compact was compelled to respond.
