Illoria and Davania had been invaded by the Goblins and Dwarves, the People demanded action from the elderly King Nachaz. What none of them believed however, was that the King would die the next day. And die he did, and with it, the country of Catalia was divided. One half supported peace, the other war. There was no one that could stop them
Or so they thought
From this, the former Prince Alexandros Nviski rose to the throne. He at first took no stance in at all, but close observes thought they knew what was his position. He was going to continue to increase the economy, with absolutely no thought to the Army. Those that supported aiding Davania and Illoria were furious at this, but the King pointed to the current Project being worked on by Illoria. Union of the Elves which was predicted would have large amounts of land possessed by their fellows Elves switch over to Illorias Banner.
The King said this Illoria already has designs on our lands, why should we help them as right after we have aided them in their time of need, they turn on us and take our lands? To aid Illoria at this time, will be the same as striking Catalia in the Future. I see in your eyes, what the Illorian King desires, a Unified Elven Nation to fight off the invading Dwarves and Goblins. But mind you, you are Catalians first, Elves second! Mock me now, but why should I, the Catalian King, aid the Illorian King whose eyes are focused on my lands? Catalia shall stay neutral, and those that opposing will be to no avail!
