The "proclamation" of Makhur Izkhan as "Derebeyi bal-Sadik" by Grand Kuzhe Irek Mameshur surprised many in Eastmarch, although it hadn't a real impact until Vintyr 4, when Mameshur appeared in Nova Tarial and was acclaimed as spiritual leader by the recently formed Akhadic Council and appointed as Grand Kuzhe of Nova Tarial. The political-religious title of "Derebeyi bal-Sadik", which many Akhadic kings and leaders from successor states of the Umirid Empire established and granted for themselves was unconventional in modern times, had not exactly real consequences for the Rojadavi government as such proclamation hadn't much recognized value, but surely complicated the situation.
Although only a few Rojadavi commanders and fighters decided to defect to the Akhadist militias, the unity of the Rojadavi forces was weakened when the Kuzhe Sermîyan issued a religious declaration calling for the unity of the Akhadic believers and to defend Akhadic lands against non-Akhadic forces. Certainly, Angirisian announcement of intervention against the Alsace government, although not hostile against the cause of Rojadavi independente threatened to become a problem in itself. First, because -despite the assurances of the A'Sirian and Zargistani envoys- they did not trust the Angirisian government. But mostly because the Rojadavi leadership was not prepared to solve an issue wihich threatened to increase the tensions and divisions against the forces which had joined the revolution. Some groups openly called for a passive understanding with the Akhadist militias, as temporary tactic, and fight and expel both the Angirisian and Galasians from the whole territory. Others were rather willing to take advantage of the situation, but without as less as possible cooperation with non-Akhadic forces. But finally, the position of Evdile Beghîker -one of the leading members of the "Provisional Council for the National Resistance"- was imposed, and the plan negotiated in Cathedrium by an envoy from the Akhadic Society was accepted.
The negotiations of a ceasefire with the northern monarchist forces proved tense and complicated, but both sides kept trying as they haven't much other options for the moment. The talks were close to collapse when the Akhadist launched a new offensive against monarchist forces in the south, and the Rojadavi Army reacted passively, allowing both sides to consummate and waste their forces and best men, and only being involved when the monarchist forces had been defeated or withdraw. This proved successful, and the Rojadavi Army took control of key urban centers and roads. Many of the surviving monarchist soldiers were sent in trucks toward the north, in order to be exchanged as prisoners hold by the monarchist forces, or they were forced to cross the nearby border to Angiris. Despite this, negotiations continued.
Helîm Bozarslan was called to Sermîyan once again. The Rojadavi leadership realized that everything should be prepared to launch a large offensive in the coming months, if the Angirisians finally decide to intervene, in order to take and occupy as much territory as possible in a short period of time, expelling the Akhadist militias from the most strategic areas, in order to assure the way toward Nova Tarial. If they were successful, maybe the victory may come before than expected.
