The Second Kingdom Wars

Military action

In another series of brutal conflicts, the kingdoms and city-states of Mashendia come to a head as Irium, Karoseth, and Eprym seek to expand their borders.

Uneasy with Karoseth's power, the city-state of Irium turns to its southern neighbors and conquers them in turn: Zurta, Kezirit, and Tzaros. The now-kingdom of Irium stops short of conquering the underground, Aquatic city of Ilies, and instead forms an alliance with them.   Meanwhile, Karoseth attempts to expand north, but runs into two obstacles: (1) Mekía, Norr, and Lekro have all formed a tight alliance; (2) Karoseth turns out to be much better on water than on land.   While Karoseth does temporarily hold Mekía, the city is soon lost, forcing the naval kingdom to instead focus on building new cities by the sea rather than conquering them.   During this time, Eprym makes an attempt to conquer Akkium, but fails bitterly when the combined forces of Akkium and Bantakal fight back.   Marosapti rebels and breaks away from Kicha's control.
