Cuitlaxaochitzin strife

Following the settlement of Skink Havens, the skink revolution enjoyed relative autonomy from Cacaoaxochitl, although it may have been because the Slaan hadn't realised that such a revolution had actually taken place. If they did, they clearly didn't consider the tiny realm on their western border any kind of threat. However, the skinks still had one great work to accomplish. Years before, the Ogres had committed the great crime known as "the feast of a thousand skinks". Although this hadn't soured relations with Cuitlaxaochitzin itself, the honour of the skink was at stake! In 462PC the city of sanctuary sent forth an army to the Ogre kingdom, to settle old scores.

The skink army travelled overland through Arloth, then north of the Holy Sigmarite Empire and made the perilous crossing of the Mallvass mountains without being discovered. They reached the Ogre Kingdom without being discovered and appeared before the Hall of the Overtyrant. Enraged, the King of the Ogres sent his finest warriors against the skinks, but aided by their monstrous stegadons, the skinks defeated the Ogres in open battle, before retiring in haste, honour settled, with as much loot as they could, before the rest of the Ogre Kingdom mobilised against them.

In 475PC the rulers of Cuitlaxaochitzin found out that chaos marauders were raiding deeper and deeper into Arloth. Fearful of expansion towards their realm, the Slaan consulted, and asked the ogres of Graag to send the chaos armies back east.

The Ogres tracked the marauders into Arloth, and before long faced the combined might of Lord Tragean's forces on the open plains of the land. The battle was fought with determination by both sides, but neither could break the other. The Ogres prepared to resume the next day, but come dawn the forces of Tragean had moved off to the east, not considering another bloody battle worth the effort. The Ogres didn't pursue, and the lizardmen kingdom began considering extending their mighty line of fortresses north to the frozen wastes, effectively planning to cut off their realm from the rest of Palurin.
