Jeneth Occupation

The Jeneth Occupation was a historic period lasting from 1803 to 1879 where the city-state of Jenthal occupied foreign territory, including that of Caimen and sections of Saddogherin (though the storm mesa was never taken), and for 72 years (starting in 1807) it laid claim much of the Kingdom of Rodan.

Internal pressure in the form of drought, rampant fires and Rodanian rebels, alongside escalating conflict with the Kingdom of Dirin, caused Jenthal to be expelled from the Midlands, and the same year Caimen freed itself. This has been the source of even further contention as none of the other city-states of Korsek attempted to help, and even though officials of Caimen pleaded with Saddogherin to help with magical or non-magical intervention they did nothing. This isolationist policy has both protected Saddogherin from intruders and given rise to lasting grudges, as well as made it the butt of more than a few jokes.

The Jeneth Occupation has lasting effects in the architecture of Redemon and in the dynamics of foreign relations (especially by fostering an enmity between the people of Caimen, Jenthal and Saddogherin).
