ɴ:2453 Qplma River Flood

Template:Campaignbox Great Northern War The 2453 Qplma River Flood was a man-made flood during October, 2453, created by the intentional destruction of Fqra and the subsequent busting of Fqra Gorges Dam by residents of Uuepi on the Qplma River. The disaster is viewed as the most egregious case of abuse of the Cralasian Order's municipal system

Historically the towns had been rivalled for several hundred years over a plethora of reasons: from cattle disputes and denominational differences to personal feuds. The activities of houses Thlipara and Yetma served as the primary instigators of conflict, which throughout the 2300s to 2400s resulted in multiple periods of open warfare between the towns. The re-establishment of Cralas in 2431 saw a temporary nulling of the rivalry, as Ismem-ma's reincarnation led a Hong-wide religious reawakening, which in Wardeschan areas unified many of the denominations.

The implementation of the Matqhiqep saw townships having to go through national government for almost all changes. Several years following its adoption, people from both towns had began to abuse the overwhelmed bureaucracy with little oversight. In April 2447 a new dispute arose over the same land being granted to both towns, which was realised after people had marched their cattle into the same grazing land. In an attempt to impose their ownership, members of Thlipara stole hundreds of cattle overnight under the guise of requisitioning stolen goods. Yetmans responded by culling over a hundred cattle owned by Uuepi and reacquired their own cattle the following day. A skirmish occurred on the outskirts of Uuepi, killing over 78. Trlera Cratoq, the Wardsgatra of Qplma, ordered an end to hostilities and elected to split the territory, two thirds going to Fqra as Uuepi had started the engagements.

For the next six years, the residents of Fqra, Uuepi and the two families would continue to antagonise one another. Trlera successfully prevented the two towns from being able to abuse the ineffective bureaucracy but would be replaced by another wardsgatra in early 2453. Unaware of the underlying problems in the administration of Cralas, the towns reverted back to abusing the system. The accidental killing of Thlipara Qanqa, the heir to his house led to skirmishes-
