History

Pre-war events

On June 25, 4 AC, Jon Dodbane, the current king of Guldhir, and two of his associates were travelling through Thaambaile. During their brief visit to the local inn, they were suddenly assaulted by locals who thought them to be spies associated with Blackthorn. The king and his company managed to eventually flee the town.

In response to the hostility shown towards their king, on Jule 11, Guldhir sent out a diplomatic mission lead by Lady Colette Beaumont. She met with the leaders of Thaambaile in their city centre later that day. During their meeting, Colette issued a demand on behalf of her king for Thaambaile to forfeit land on the peninsula west of their town. This was met with immediate disapproval by the head of Thaambaile, Timur Khan, who nevertheless wished to avoid an escalation to a war. Having been unsuccessful with her demands, Colette wish to spoke no further and returned to Guldhir.

On Jule 12, 5 AC, the Kingdom of Guldhir issued a formal declaration of war against Thaambaile and its allied towns.
