Following decades of peace in the 20th century, concerns around the Occidental world once again intervening around the Nysdra in the years immediately preceding [[The Deluge]] led Quetzenkel and many other states to begin considering modernization and rearmament. To this end, Quetzenkel agreed to allow [[Veltorine people]] to settle in some of the less populated parts of Western Quetzenkel in exchange for technical expertise with respect to military and industrial goods. Their expertise allowed Quetzenkel to construct a relatively modern military by 1990, though efforts to maintain it were not taken as it was thought the Occidental danger had passed. | Following decades of peace in the 20th century, concerns around the Occidental world once again intervening around the Nysdra in the years immediately preceding [[The Deluge]] led Quetzenkel and many other states to begin considering modernization and rearmament.

====Struggle with Varshan==== | |||
With the collapse of the long ruling [[Varshan#Yun-harle dynasty|Yun-harle dynasty]], Varshan's northernmost province of Brudxaan entered rebellion in [[1958]]. With support from [[Corumm]], Quetzenkel annexed the rebellious province of Brudxaan, modern [[New Veltorina]], in [[1962]]. | |||

In the early 2000s, 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, beginning the [[South Nysdra War]]. As part of the traditionalists' efforts, Veltorine people suddenly had their rights and privileges suddenly curtailed in resposne to the [[Occidental]] threats resulting from [[The Deluge]], leading to them launching an uprising. The thinly spread Quetzeni military could not effectively contain the many internal threats, though they were effective in head-to-head confrontations. Despite the ongoing conflict and uprising in the West, Quetzen decided not to spare additional military forces as he believed doing so would lead to revolution as the military pulled out. Archchief Quetzen was suddenly assassinated by a Veltorine assassin, throwing the country into further chaos. | In the early 2000s, 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.
