Oh and if you knew what Rkl and i know, then you would know

it IS sooner than later. Infact could be being planned right this isntant not to far away from lad itself...
Except I know the whole story because my character was Zak DoUrden.
You see, Alenz Hills had hired Zak's Mercenary Company to escort their oil expedition across the Empire of Ladvicitavoi (as it was known at that time) because it was rumored to be dangerous. Zak escorted the caravan to Ladvivitavoi itself where he was able to make good friends with the Emperor and gain the caravan passage by boat across the Ladvicio Lake to the desert where there was oil rather than taking the long way around. At one point, Emperor Alexi Romanov said to Zak that maybe someday that an uncivilized place like Brinks Forest would see the light of civilization. Well, Zak said back to him, that should the Empire ever touch his Estates in Brinks Forest he would kill him himself. At first it seemed like the Emperor took it as a joke but that was only to allow him to trick Zak and the whole caravan inot the dock area where he had them trapped and imprisoned and eventually executed for threatening the Empire. Since Emperor Alexi Romanov believed that Zak died with honor, he sent a message to DoUrden Estates telling the new leader, which is Robert Smith, what happened and hoping that a truce could happen between the two.
But you see the Empire made two enemies that day, DoUrden Estates and Alenz Hills. Obviously DoUrden has butchered two Imperial Armies and Alenz Hills just had their share a few days ago and ended King Hamil's Kingdom. (this is coming from second hand information that I received a couple days ago so I think it has been four days; if not then notify me and I will edit post)
