The Fezians are unlikely to return any time soon but the Beersteiners have concentrated many forces on the Eastern border that might well be needed in the West against Bogavanians. Despite the horrific casualties suffered by the Fezians a significant dent has been made in one Beersteiner army.
The Fezian venture is most likely an independent action but the possibility of collusion with the Bogavanians can not be ruled out.
