Most vulnerable was the perpetually troubled Kingdom of Lorent, kept from falling apart by the sheer willpower of Percevan Siloriel after their defeat in the Noruin War by Temar I. Sensing weakness, the problem dukes banded together to free themselves from the mage-king's yoke: Yet perpetually cowed by the Lorentish alliance bloc, they each wished for the war to be won before it was declared, refusing show the initiative the Winesbayers had shown during the Lilac Wars due to a fear of suffering the same fate.
Lorent divided was the weakest of the four blocs, but the balance of power in Cannor refused to allow the tension to break. Confidently - some may say foolishly - Percevan took advantage of the gridlock, recovering quickly from the loss of Noruin to strike at the ruinborn kingdoms of the Effelai and the free orc colony of Ozgarom. If the Grey Orcs would take North Aelantir, Percevan insisted that the south be his, endlessly financed by the bottomless coffers of Beepeck.
His efforts were jointly supported and stymied by the upstart kingdom of Deranne, the principal beneficiary of continental gridlock. Their tendrils infested nearly all of Aelantir. Endrallidae, The Isles, Amadia - wherever there was fresh land to be claimed, a Deranic flag insisted it was there first and therefore was entitled to the whole of it. With the endless support of Gawed, who gleed in the fact that Deranne was a thorn in the side of both Lorent and Grombar, they had a free hand in the old world. A position both parties found intolerable but could do little about it.

The continent has been in a perpetual gridlock since approximately 1475, it's a very interesting scenario.
