Relationship with Elendel
Bilming's status as an alternative port to Elendel appears to have caused some friction between the two cities. Elendel's former governor, Replar Innate, once made hollow promises about raising tariffs on imports that come from Bilming.[6] Lord Bastien Severington, the mayor of Bilming, invited a number of senators from Elendel to the introduction of the Pewternauts as a gesture of friendship, only to have a senator named Inis Julien publicly call them pointless "toys".[3]
In 342 PC, Devlin Airs spoke to Waxillium Ladrian at Kelesina Shores's party and warned him that civil war was brewing.[2] Wax listened to Lord Severington give an anti-Elendel speech at the party and realized that Bilming had enough power to spearhead a conflict.[7][2]
