[h2][center]High Kingdom of Itherae[/center][/h2]

Diplomacy was a great tool for those who knew how to use it for the word was more powerful than many weapons that had been invented in these days, a fact Itherae was fully ready to utilize to advance itself as it sat between a great power, a large republic, and happened to sit just above the Commonwealth of Marn. It's placement in the world was to be surrounded by those who would wish to do it harm, and if any great war would to start, it would be started by some damned country near them. Thus, they needed to maintain a certain stability in the region so that war was no on their doorstep. It was for that reason and that reason alone that they sent envoy Herodes Pittheus to the nation of Cydernia in order to preserve the stability of the region with a Non-aggression pact. 

The High Kingdom would love for themselves to not be dragged into some blasted thing, that was the only reason that they would extent their kindness beyond their borders. Plus the Queen did not precisely trust the other world's leaders to uphold the peace that the world was currently experiencing, especially no nation close to the Helrox Empire. Though it was amongst the greatest powers of the world with a presence in the seas close to Itherae and even the Kingdom's bordering nation the Tyrian Empire which would allow for a future of diplomacy between the two nations to halt Helrox expansion should that empire feel the need to go on the warpath again once more. 

Other than the (somewhat) paranoid views of the government, the majority of Itheraens were indifferent with other nations, nor did many in the nation feel the need to expand the national borders, including the Queen herself.  Of course there were those in the Tyrian and Sessauan communities that would like to see themselves in the their respective borders that was considered an extremely low minority for those people in those already minority groups. 

In other areas of the Kingdom, the group hoped to establish trade with nations nearby, despite their autarky views. With eyes set to Yognir to the north, the Itheraen Kingdom may be able to lessen their shortage by a considerable margin when the trade between themselves and the Faresian Confederation eventually began.
