Crisis once more! Basheer van de Golven makes sail once more, after completing his two-year long marriage and celebration festivities in the cities of Onoma 'Okole and Ridgeston! This time, he daringly makes sail to break through foreign lines - this time in Glacies! The Stagnant Icy Empire's grip daunts Bugher-Admiral van de Golven not, as they push with their fleet of 61 ships past their borders, claiming them to be waters of Glimmer!

After recently being married to Bianca and Salvatrice di Patrizillo, two daughters of the Burgher of Ottoporto, Ezzelio di Patrizillo, and being named Burgher of Novoporto, it seems the Sovereign Diet has legitimized Golven's brazenness! In fact, he claims that the southern waters of Pangu, and indeed the city of Castra are territories of Glimmer!

Burgher-Admiral Basheer van de Golven cites the aftermath of the Henyi Straits Crisis, which occurred in 815, and warns the king of Glacies that should he not comply to de Golven's claims, then he will "take far more than just Castra and some snow." Glimmer waits with baited breath what the Ice-King's response will be, and mobilizes 5,000 troops to occupy disputed Castra, while Basheer van de Golven's 61 ships push past the coast. What will Glacies do? What will Salvadare do? What will the Sovereign Diet do?
