The relationship between Ossoria and Shalum has been defined as one of near constant conflict and deep mutual hostility for many centuries. Since their formation, the two states have fought over fifty major conflicts including innumerable raids, territorial disputes, trade conflicts, succession wars, military interventions, and religious crusades. On only two occasions have the two nations attempted to end their feud and normalize relations, with the first attempt being made in the 1720s and led directly to four major wars in the subsequent decades, and the second being made during the Great Eracuran War which resulted in a frozen conflict developing in the disputed Arzell Islands.
