Military action
Darkport and Arakeen skirmish.
The last several years has seen the rise of Arakeen in the Sea of Shards, and they had chosen to target the forces of Darkport directly.
Cylence is confident that her forces are strong enough to keep Arakeen at bay. Her real concern is that Arakeen will be able to form an organized force with the other powers of the region to stand against her. Seemingly to defend against that, Cylence has been bringing in large numbers of slaves into Darkport for some unknown reason. The future of the region is certainly in doubt, but it can be assumed that Darkport will not suffer this renewed aggress without some sort of answer.
