Wrote on the Kethaelan expedition to Kralorela. IMO there was a
significant lapse between the period that they arrived in the Suam
Chow and the battle against the Kralorelean Fleet.
The Kethaelan Fleet managed to strike up friendly relations with the
Exarch of Wanzow while they were berthed at Lur Nop. However when news
of this reached the Capital, paranoid officials who feared another
invasion persuaded Godunya to mobilize the Imperial Fleet to destroy the
intruders. The name of the local exarch was Can Shu and after this
disgrace he was posted/exiled to Bliss in Ignorance.
