To be prepared in case of any potential invasions, Azurel and Fenrira have begun talks on what to do should a Verdurian invasion sweeps over Azurel. Suggestions include vassalization of Azurel to Fenrira, a complete confederation between the two nations, and defense pacts. Fenrira has gotten permission from Azurel, and has begun to connect the two nations' infrastructure, and even has begun to militarize Azurel.
