1694–1695 Laqi Cross-Border Raids

Beginning in mid II.1694 AN, Laqi raiding parties under the authority of clans based in Brookshire began crossing the border into Kizshire. The targets of these raids ranged from theft of government property, ambushing soldiers on patrol, and capturing civilians for sale on the Laqi black market.

This wave of raids is believed to have been precipitated by a combination of the Draconian bioterror attacks between 4.I.1694 and 15.I.1694, restlessness among Laqs following the end of the Guttulinese conflict and the ensuing peace in southeastern Benacia, and a bias against Drak-Modan for occupying Laqi ancestral territory. Unlike previous instances of cross-border raiding by Laqs under Kaiseress Salome's allegiance, clans were not punished for their participation in these raids.
