Funny you should mention that - one year after that post, it finally happened.

Finally, in Truefrost 1559, something broke, sending half the world into chaos. The ensuing war would resolve the calcified coalitions that had formed from the start of the century - that was the hope.
Duchess Margery sil Saloren's burgeoning Loopuis Company had been at the forefront of Anbennarian fashion since the Esmari craze had died down in the 1530s. Emperor Aahmes III Panoutid, Steward of the Sorrow and undisputed lord of Sarhal, requested a new robe be fashioned for him laced with Damestear to be commissioned from Margery's finest seamstresses. The price for such a garment was a princely sum, no less than the entire coffers of the Calasanni Trading Co. at the time. Upon the garment's completion, Emperor Aahemes insisted upon receiving it in person, the Korosheshi grain-fleets appropriated to escort this grand figure into the Winesbay.
The lavishness was unbecoming to the Winesbayers, but worse was the sighting of black damestear in the holds of an infiltrated grainship. Rapidly, a plot was uncovered: In exchange for the Lorentish colonies in Sarhal, the Emperor would support the cause of the long-chafing Winesbay lords against their Lorentish oppressors.
The war did not break out as it had planned. Annd Gerwick of Gawed found herself surprised that the rebellious dukes had actually done it. They were even more surprised when Petran IV sil Ola, Duke of Sorncost, refused to join after decades of stark resistance to King Percevan's encroachment. Emperor Taliesin Silmuna was preparing to finally settle the Magisterium Question, only for his armies to have to turn abruptly westward. A chance such as this could not be ignored.
