Following an invasion from one of the nearby warlord states, the state of Sagarna sent a plea for Ragean assistance. Fearing for their sovereignty by both the encroaching Aethalgardians and the constant assaults from their neighbors, they became a vassal state of Ragea. Ragean has since dispatched 8 quadrimes and 300 troops to support Sagarna. Ragea has announced any infringement on Sagarna's sovereignty will result in war with no hesitation, though with Aethalgardia rapidly closing in on Sagarna, it was an unpopular announcement within the Ragean Senate. Craecus, however, has insisted on this. "Fret not, if war is to break out with Aethalgardia over this, I shall be the one commanding the frontline." In the South, expansion has continued with further development of new cities and the formation of small spice towns and hunting villages. Conquest has mostly been avoidable, with the annihilation of the Tuka sending a clear message to their neighbors, leaving Ragea free to expand into sparsely populated lands.
