What? It's just a simple little plot. Now, for fear, what you want to do is take the above deathlords v realm plot, and then scheme so you get to pick the broad areas in which they decide to fight in. Maybe one of those 'winner gets the loser's territory, so we'll fight somewhere else that none of us care about anyway', very polite, very civilised, very destructive to the locals, rig it so they let you pick the spot ('neutral, unbiased, objective, sensible, friendly arbiter who will clearly not give either side an advantage and has nothing to gain, no, really') and /then/ you collect bribes so they don't end up in Nexus, or they do end up in Nexus, wait, no, they don't, look, I'll double it AND throw in that shiny daiklaive of mine if they do, what, just a daiklaive? Two palaces! And fifty thousand slaves. If all of you idiots don't shut up I'll write a story where rocks fall and everyone dies! Go to the north or something!

You know. Fun like that.

...you can tell I'm exceedingly bored, yes?
