Sahiti madivism
valeria's rise into a continental power
mattian warlords

Apsuna's eagarness to please the estranged tord and lorren, while still wanting to swear vengeance on them. But as tord and lorren understands her more, even as a brilliant tactician, she was rarely able to outsmart them. Apsuna rows more frustrated nearing the end of her reign
Tord and lorren ARE disappointed in her; they worked their way up from unfavorable situations and mastered just about everything, while Apsuna fails to control herself and wastes her talent
Part of her ineffectiveness is also due to her assassination of Matteo
apsuna framed the assassination on a low class castle worker with a language barrier. It was scummy, though she's always regretted it

the fishing industry in Valeria

mattian fur traders from before Posas connected rattlesnake paths with the rest of fort divina

the firing of arrows from lake kalmia , which is part of the posas clan yet intrudes into Torren clan territory.

Rule of no rulers - set by Posas and the major clans when Lorenzo was overthrown. Plan to split territory and mind their own business. But as posas devoured the other 2 scourges, they weren't planning to stop and abide by the rule.
the posas devised a tortue method called the sad bath. Make lots of tiny cuts on the questioned persons body, and the pummel them in a pit of sand. Usually creates permanent scarring (SO COOL)

Cursed lake in which Lupo bled into

Lorenzo passed down a condition to the Posas which partly caused their demises

The married warlords who never met each other and became close friends through frequent letter exchange. United their states together in harmony. Ironically, their reign would probably not be as great had they met and settled, as they'll be trapped in an unhappy marriage.

Matching scars by dying them red and mirroring the mark on the opposite side - either a mattian thing or a fayolan thing
