One of the leaders sent an envoy with a messenger pleading with the Siyesh to halt their advance and they would come to an exclusive trade only with Siyesh for the rest of their already dwindling resources. The Siyesh had a different plan entirely, they slaughtered the envoy and sent their tortured bodies back. Infuriated the Dalvozzea declared outright war and the plan to conquer the country of Siyesh.
