Foreign Relations

Hyperion has been at odds with the kingdom of Amular since the three kingdoms had formed. No one remembers why the two kingdoms have such a staggered relationship over the past thousand years, but it stems from ther downfall of the ancient kingdom. Both Amular's and Hyperion's royal families claim to the throne of the ancient kingdom that once ruled Primor. Because of ther position being in the middle of the two kingdoms, Kalamoon has been central to peace between the two kingdoms. Every time rulership of one of the kingdoms changes, a new peace treaty at Kalamoon needs to be signed.
