Military action
A unified Nuxong Force raided across the hills from Lightspear
The @Nuxong had long been disunited into warring tribes and factions. Thus it was unexpected that a large force of riders came across into the shadowlands. Their mobility had long been their greatest strength, and their lack of cohesion their weakness. Here though they stayed a dedicated force, and burned the fortress guarding the northern pass to @Lightspear. While they could not take Nakarmalai directly, they ramapaged across the riverlands for more than 2 years, before the emperor's army arrived, and drove them off.
