Southern Sen

Southern Sen, also called Arden, is a contested region lying between Sen and Keledon. It is rough and rocky for the most part, but is possessed of decently arable land along the rivers that flow to the sea from the Ironfists. 
Traditionally the land had been part of Sen, and formed a border territory between that kingdom and the Reach of the Northmarches in Keledon. 
In 1710 AS, the vastly overconfident Akarthan king Piar V, launched an ill-fated attack on Keledon, attempting to attack simultaneously through Cardas Pass; a naval force approaching Kalabar; and via Arden, through an agreement brokered secretly with the lords of that land. This conflict, the One Moon War, was over quickly, resulting in a Keledoni victory.
Heavy negotiations followed between Keledon and Sen, the leadership of the latter claiming no knowledge of the attack or the secret agreements brokered with Akaryth. Tensions grew over the next four years until, in 1714 AS the Keledoni king ,Gendar IV, sailed a fleet up his west coast to reinforce land forces and conquered the small region quickly. The Sennish Prince Madheyr sued for peace on behalf of the region, hoping especially that Gendar would not movehis forces into Sen itself. The result was the Treaty of Lannegich, which ceded control of Arden to Keledon, but guaranteed no further movement into Sennish territory.
In the following century and a half Arden, now commonly called Southern Sen, has remained a holding of Keledon, whose monarch is now titled King of all Keledon and of Southern Sen.
