abstract
| - The War of Embers is a conflict in central Andoras between House Grimolt and House Karthmere currently being fought over what many believe is control of Andoras, with Thyllanor of House Karthmere and Thunder's Shore of House Grimolt being the two closest and most powerful Lord Paramouncies in proximity to Ember's End, a popular post-Civil War name for the Kingsland. House Brackwater has also played a role in this war, being on the outskirts of the two powers and sometimes getting caught in the conflict as well, although they were severely damaged in the Civil War, only beginning to rebuild, and is trying to avoid conflict as much as possible (secretly, they have pledged their support to House Grimolt). It stems partially from a blood feud, partially over The Throne of Embers, and Thyllanor (as the aggressors) attempting to reclaim the lands that the current Lord Paramount Dalan Karthmere's father, Dalan I, lost due to negligence and the act of treasonous rebellion in the Farmers' Revolution. This war, it seems, is inspired by post-Civil War imperialism by Thyllanor's hands more than anything, although the Shoremen are not without fault either. Currently, the war is in a state of stasis, as an armistice agreement was reached between Thyllanor and Thunder's Shore at a peace summit in March; the war is still tentatively declared, however, and some may see Thyllanor's militarization as preparation for a counter-attack.
