Editing Ul'Dah (section)

=== Twins Apart ===
Belah'dian civilisation flourished in relative peace for two hundred years. Yet all was to change in 964, when the sultan grew deathly ill and was confined to his sickbed. This triggered a fierce struggle between Sasagan and Sasawefu, his two sons, over who would sit the throne as rightful heir. The twins each called upon the soldiers loyal to them,  and the nation was soon wracked by war. The sultan's death a year later did nothing to stem the fighting, and in 969 the princes decisively tore Belah'dia in half. Each then built a city anew in Thanalan- Sil'dih under Sasawefu and Ul'dah under Sasagan.

For centuries thereafter, the sibling city-states found cause to fight. However, if was the actions of King Lalawefu of Sil'dih in 1159 that would ultimately doom their relationship. Instituting flood control to save his nation's ailing economy Lalawefu began to draw waters from the upper reaches of Ul'dah's source. The move was popular in Sil'dih, and the people proclaimed their monarch the King of the Springs. The Ul'dahns, however, hissed curses at him through parched lips. The stage, then, was set for war.
