Editing Zeres (section)

==History==
Historically, Zeres has been the closest ally of [[Pallass]], whose democracy even has a faction called the ''Zeresian Group'', which is in the current storyline one of the smaller political parties of Pallass.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/07/16/6-31/ Chapter 6.31]</ref> Pallass also maintains strong trade relations to Zeres, buying from the distant harbor city.<ref name="6.32">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/07/20/6-32/ Chapter 6.32]</ref> However, these strong ties don't mean that Zeres' strategists don't bicker during Joint Sessions about Pallassian "greedy" "idiots".<ref name="5.49">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/12/25/5-49/ Chapter 5.49]</ref>

Zeres was the first Walled City to be besieged by the Antinium during the [[First Antinium War]]; none of those sieges successful.<ref name="s02-1" /> In the [[Second Antinium War]], they attempted this a second time.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/26/s02-the-antinium-wars-pt-4/ S02 - The Antinium Wars, pt. 4]</ref>

<nowiki> </nowiki>A decade ago, when [[Flos]] launched his invasion from [[Chandrar]], his armies never made it past Zeres, although [[Amerys]] was able to lock down Zeres practically by herself.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/05/14/6-16/ Chapter 6.16]</ref>

During the storyline of books five and six, Zeres was locked in an ongoing conflict with [[Oteslia]] and was besieged by the other's city military. This siege also involved the [[Liscorian Army]].<ref name="5.13" />

To counter the goblin/human attack on [[Liscor]] led by [[Reiss]]/[[Tyrion Veltras]], Zeres pledged 80.000 regulars and 5000 elite troops, the Saltscale Wardens,<ref name=":5.54">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/22/5-54-2/ Chapter 5.54]</ref> who then battled Veltras in the [[Blood Fields]].
