Prelude

Bind-Vittish Relationship

In the years leading up to and during the Pan-Stoldavic War, under the rule of Gwretaido Prawiros Ghruxhuorsunus, Vittmark enjoyed significant covert support from the Bind. This support was channeled through the Vittish proxy of Fisks. Wolgos-manufactured artillery, machinery, ammunition, and arms, rebranded with Vittish insignia, were transported in large quantities to Vittmark via the Arctic trade routes. This aid was crucial in enabling Vittmark to keep Haeverist forces at bay and assert its claims and territorial integrity during the war.

The aid from the Bind came with political strings attached. Covertly, the Vittish government had to encourage politicians and the media to question the legitimacy of Haeverist control over Rissland, portraying their rule as an occupation to the rest of Anaria. The aim was not to support the Wolgos claim, which was untenable across Anaria, but to advocate for a free Eokoesr state. This strategy helped sow discord and weaken the Haeverist position, aligning with the Bind’s broader geopolitical interests.

The relationship between the Bind and Vittmark continued into the early stages of the Wolgos Scourge. Vittish politicians and newspapers played a key role in depicting the initial phase of the Scourge as a conflict confined to Altaia between the Wolgos and Haeverists. This narrative helped soothe concerns across Anaria, buying the Wolgos more time and room to maneuver. However, this facade of a strong relationship began to crumble with the invasion of Cassia, the southern native nations, and the blocking of the Winthorp Strait. The illusion of cooperation abruptly ended with the severing of the Fisk air route and the subsequent invasion of the Fisk islands, signaling a clear and final break between Vittmark and the Bind.
