{{Main|South Nysdra War}}

In 2013, Archchief Quetzen XXIII ascended to power in [[Quetzenkel]] following the assassination of his predecessor and great uncle, Honau V. Much of Honau's reign had been consumed with the geopolitical question of how Quetzenkel should respond to the [[War of the Northern Confederation]], and Honau - like Quetzen - assumed a position of status quo and peaceful relations with the Occident in order to ensure Quetzenkel's survival. Radicals assassinated Honau for this stance, and Quetzen declared martial law over the country in order to establish order. By 2014, martial law continued, and most of Quetzenkel's military forces were committed to maintaining domestic order and were spread thin. The [[Veltorine people]] in western Quetzenkel, which had been facing significant political and economic hurdles since having been settled in that part of the country in the 1970s, waged a rebellion in response to the martial law. Quetzen XXIII himself was killed by a Veltorine assassin as the conflict escalated. The status of Veltorine people in the country lead to [[Urcea]]n intervention in favor of [[Levantia|Levantine]]-educated [[Telucti I]] assuming the throne of [[Quetzenkel]] and agreeing to separate out Veltorine occupied lands as [[Cetsencalia]].
