As of right now, three of the five nations, the Shenlong Dynasty, the Aquarius Empire, and the Fortes Kingdom, are teetering on the brink of war. Between Shenlong and Aquarius, there is their natural animosity towards each other as beings of Fire and Water, coupled with mysterious disturbances and incidents with trails that point toward both nations. There is also tension between Fortes and Shenlong due to the deaths of human settlers within the world of Ignis, though Shenlong takes no responsibility for the well being of the humans who come under attack by raiders, as dictated by the Dragon Treaty, an agreement made by both the Fortes kingdom and the Shenlong Dynasty. There are suspicions that Shenlong secretly orchestrates the attacks, but with no hard evidence Fortes will not wage open war, though the ruling powers are being pressured by the people to send out their armies to defend the villages, violating the treaty in the process.
