The Umhlaba War, also known as the Water Merchant-Lementarian War was a full scale conflict between the Water Merchants of Cania and the Cult of Lementer, and their numerous allies and tributaries. The two organizations had been ancient enemies for centuries, often competing for control over Ancient Mesallas and beyond. In the aftermath of the conquests of Ioxemander, both groups grew immensely by taking advantage of the new interconnections of the empire.
The ancient feud turned into a full conflict when the two group's goals clashed near Edom, and both sides now had the military might to back a full scale conflict. Through careful diplomacy, sabotage, and intrigue, both sides managed to lure numerous vassals and governors of the Xeran Empire, of which both resided within, to do their bidding, resulting in numerous battles across the empire and within surrounding nations.
