On the forty-fifth of Sol of 1714
SE,
King Eiknir the Great of
Estaria attended a summit of representatives from
Landren,
Sadrove and
Prekha to discuss a military alliance against
Sura Pel. This alliance would be the pretext to the
Sunrise War and the fall of Sura Pel.
Challenges
King Eiknir took the throne of Estaria in 1709, immediately following the
War of the Gates. Estaria was once again unified, but in a weakend state, and the war-weary citizenry weren't ready to enter another prolonged conflict. Sura Pel was the largest military force in
Vildrel at the time, but the new king had ambitions of conquering them and bringing about a new age of prosperity for Estaria. For this, he would need allies.
The summit took five years to organize. Initially, Eiknir wasn't able to convince
Emperor Bonni of Wehn to consider an alliance between
Prekha and the other members. One of the Emperor's conditions before finally accepting was that the summit be held in Prekha.
Result
Publically, the summit was billed to the public as a defensive pact responding to Sura Pel's aggression. In private, the world leaders set the stage for an invasion, planning many of the coming war's battles years in advance. They even agreed on which state would take what territories from Sura Pel, planning a decisive victory that would see Sura Pel completely erradicated.
