Inlyrian's Gambit | Prelude to War

Diplomatic action

After the decades of wars in Aenar, even the Sword-Lords of the Upper Coast were tottering from exhaustion. Each week brought marauders and destruction to their lands, fields and people. The shortages and constant grind had even sparked several small wars between the Sword-Lords as tempers and food stocks grew shorter by the day.

It was these days that motivated the Sword-Lord Certhyr Inlyrian to gamble his lands, his life and the life of everyone that he loved on a betrayal. Desperate for a solution, he began secretly corresponding and meeting with the Rhonish Eorl of Swords. It was his hope and mad gamble in the hopes of gaining support for a Rhonish invasion, led by the warrior-queen Moralei herself, to save the Upper Sword Coast.

By conquering it.
