Peace, Friendly, Trade Partners
Mechanis and Shinryu have a well-established history of trade.
They have never engaged in conflict against each other and have enjoyed many cooperative navy operations with each other.
Trust and respect are firm.
Peace, Friendly, Allies
When Mechanis was an early nation, they were in frequent conflict with Oralthis however, once borders were well established, eventually, the relationship turned into respect.
Over time, peace would be established by founding a new city Lóthiriel.
This would be the spark for a new change in Mechanis, as Mechanis would eventually become the melting pot for all races without a home.
Even today, Mechanis and Oralthis maintain active cooperation at many levels.

Allies, Trade Relations, Information Exchange Relations
The dwarves of Voltaris have a deep respect for the military and scientific might of Mechanis.
This was a primary motivator for the dwarves to forge their nation and get elves' asses in gear, as they would say.
The dwarves would eventually become allies with Mechanis , and while the dwarves are loath to do so generally, they will travel to Mechanis for an annual information exchange.
When Mechanis was attacked by Dreadspire and Lóthiriel was destroyed many dwarves died there during one of these exchanges.
This resulted in the world witnessing the military might of the dwarves for the first time in two centuries as they allied themselves with Ironspire.
In the current era, the dwarves maintain their diplomatic status with Mechanis.
Non-aggression, Old Rivals
Ironspire and Mechanis have always been at odds with each other.
They have a grudging respect for each other and their mutual history as conquerors.
---
Mechanis helped to destroy Dreadspire and re-instate the royal family of Ironspire.
They were also the main voice advocating for their allied countries to assist in rebuilding Ironspire during the established white peace after the Great War and to delay the repayment of their debt by twenty years.
This has granted them eternal gratitude from the citizens of Ironspire.
Completely Hostile
