			:In 1242AF, Sartrin commanded his armies to begin a war of conquest throughout the Central Islands. Regolean troops quickly took the surrounding islands, and began to move outwards to larger kingdoms. By 1268AF the front had reached Carakas, once a major power in the region. Absorbed into the Regolean Empire, Carakas now produces supplies for the Regolean war machine.

			:With an established military training program in place, the Regolean Empire was able to capitalise upon the greater rate of Exaltation observed from 1280AF onwards. New Exalts are quickly recognised and sent to Regolus for training, before returning to the active front. The presence of such troops allowed the Third Army to crush both Meredius and the Twin Cities in 1282AF, cementing the Regolean hold on the near-east archipelago.

In response to this, the general Ariach Dawn-Treader, born to Ildrin in 977AF, sent his agents to seek out Exalted allies, reasoning that mortal troops would not be sufficient to turn the conflict.

			===Ildur and Ildrin===
			:The twin cities of Ildur and Ildrin share the island of Nerethain, in the central Southeast. Separated by a steep mountain range, both cultures are entwined closely throughout their long history. Their relationship is defined by their intense competition in all aspects of life. Outsiders often have difficulty distinguishing between the two groups when outside their cities, as they appear to dress and speak in a similar fashion. While the cities share a common root language, attempts to speak the local dialects are fraught with danger, as slight differences in meaning can twist a casual comment into a killing insult.

			:Unsurprisingly, the God [[Thousand_Cities:Cypher\|Cypher]] has played a role in the development of the twin cities. Both cultures are warlike and volatile, quick to avenge a perceived insult. The two royal families are deeply intermarried, as tradition dictates that a victorious army should seize a royal son or daughter from the defeated city for a forced marriage with the victor. Despite their intermingled blood, the inhabitants of both cities would sooner die than give their rivals any advantage.

			:Constant conflict has driven great advances in engineering, especially in the field of warfare. The Sea Wall of Ildur is considered a marvel of Creation, rendering the city's central port almost impregnable by naval assault.

			:At present, Ildur has seized the upper hand in the most recent conflict after acquiring a large number of essence gems from [[Thousand_Cities:North#Cinnador\|Cinnador]].
