Theiri is resourse rich but unable to export anything because of caravan loss they on the verge of having to disband the army to maintain they're costs.<br/><br/>Theiri has no way of knowing Aserit is suffering as much as they are and know they need to resume trade or they will have to go into open war should they have any hope of retaining their kingdom so they are trying peace talks first since it would throw their kingdom into debt to another it go to war.
