+As reported by the [[immortal knight|Immortal Knight]] [[imbri|Imbri]], the growing conflict between [[nalos|Nalos]] and the [[dragul|Dragul]] began when the city-states did not wish to give up their freedom and join the crown;
+>//“The queen offered every [[races|race]] a seat on her royal council, but many have refused her and joined together as the [[dragul|Dragul]]. ... Their desire for freedom may be admirable, but the [[dragul|Dragul]] have sown violence and chaos at every turn, even after Queen Gimnax offered them a pathway to peace.”// - [[imbri|Imbri]], Festival of Heroes (GS-ADV1)
+==== Servants of Azema (GS-ADV2) ====

+  *  There are those who claim that during the battle, she lost her nerve and fled into the tunnels, leaving the fighting and the dying to others.
+At some point following the battle, Queen Gimnax visits [[gulpax|Gulpax]] in [[treetop_village|Treetop Village]], perhaps for the final time. She offers a dire warning:
