Diplomatic action
The meeting between Eyiliv Feneyl and Paele Haerehel, and the subsequent warning given to Vhou by Paele.
As Vhou had finished uniting any cities that would agree to join him, he received word from Paele that Eyiliv sought alliances as well. During the meeting between the southern and western kings, Eyiliv had not stated who his new allies were. Perhaps if Vhou had known that it was only loose fire mages, he would not have been as quick to worry. Believing the situation would be more dire, he would go on to seek assistance from the humans for the first time in history.
