Lind had hoped his decision to reshape the political landscape would but him more peace time, but it took very little time for cracks to form.
Small battles had always happened, but they eventually did not stay small.
It had started with the Theocracy of the Spirits. They had suffered a mass exodus after the first few decades but had stabilized. Due to Lind's actions, they did nothing to stop it, but their priests were becoming lethal in their reprisals of defiance of their scripture.
