Medegian cavalry of the Civil War Period on the move -262 CY art by  Ilker Serder Yildiz While Thalland was able to marshal its resources and drive out the Zelrad and Ehlissan invaders by -259 CY, from -262 to -259 CY Medegia was engaged in a bitter civil war over the succession to the title of Prince of Medegia and Dictator of the Bladelands. The majority of the fighting took place between factions supporting Udo the son of the former Medegian prince, and Ederradios the head of a cadet branch of the Medegi.

Before being driven out of the northern part of the land between the Flanmi, Harp, and Thelly Rivers, the nascent Cranden Principality had been in an almost constant state of war with the Lathu. The status of Tuerny’s mother is unknown; whether she was legal wife, concubine, or slave.
