Quetzenkel: Difference between revisions

Following decades of peace in the 20th century, the Occidental world began once again intervening around the Nysdra in the years immediately preceding The Deluge. In the 2020s, Quetzenkel was ruled by Archchief Honau V, who advised national caution and good relations with the Occident, particularly Urcea, in order to ensure Quetzeni independence. Consequently, Quetzenkel did not intervene in the War of the Northern Confederation and quickly recognized the new neighboring Kingdom of New Harren. Increasing Occidental intervention lead to the rise of radical traditionalists within Quetzenkel, who not only called for an armed resistance to the Occident but also for the abdication of Honau V in favor of the traditional Nohealani succession system. Honau refused and the nation descended into political disorder, but was without violence until Honau's assassination in 2013. Honau's great nephew ascended as Archchief Quetzen XXIII in 2013, and he quickly implemented martial law in an attempt to stabilize the country. The ongoing chaos in the country lead to the beginning of the invasion by the [[Sons of Levantia]] in 2014, beginning what would become the South Nysdra War. The thinly spread Quetzeni military could not effectively contain the threat, though they were effective in head-to-head confrontations. Despite the ongoing invasion and the mass murder perpetrated by the Sons, Quetzen decided not to spare additional military forces as he believed doing so would lead to revolution as the military pulled out. His failure to reinforce the western part of the country lead to a successful surprise attack by the Sons on Akwesasne. Though they were soon repulsed, the Sons of Levantia captured Archchief Quetzen XXIII and publicly executed him.
