Elijah's Rest (Norse: Eliaru) is a demesne within the Elian Union. As the name suggests it is the resting place of Elijah, the slain Prince of Walstadt whose martyrdom at the hands of Siseran cultists became a pivotal moment in the theological development of Bovinism and a defining one in relations between Jingdao and Natopia. The choice of the ruined lands of Normark, at such a vast remove from southern Cibola is presumably explained by the affinity felt by Elijah for the Norse during his life. As the importance of Elijah grew the Natopian commitment to securing his resting place expanded as well, becoming an extensive overseas commitment in the northern hemisphere that the Natopians have become committed to for primarily ideological reasons.
Following the occupation of Jangsong by the Imperial Trade Union in the late stages of the War of Lost Brothers the Natopian government sought to bolster the position of the Elian Union and assert control over the Gulf of Jangsong and the northern portion of the Strait of Haifa by expanding into wilderness territory which had been penetrated by Haifan pirates and diamond prospectors under the cover of the war. This action in turn prompted the infamous night of the Pallisican Fury where Kan Zen raged at the MCS for allowing her perceived interests in the region to be swept aside by the new Natopian counter-claim. In the aftermath both sides began to raise new troops for the battle to control northern Keltia, leading some to argue that the conflict had branched away from the War of Lost Brothers to become a separate conflict in its own right, the War of the Harpy, so named in reference to the semi-mythical creatures reputed to haunt the region, or to Kan Zen whose fury drove the escalating conflict.
