Selene and Ciann have hated each other for years, Ciann has literally worked to destroy both of Selene's realms she ruled, one of which she rampaged across herself.
Ciann and Ziode might get along then. Ziode doesn't like Selene all that much either.
*Insert flashbacks to Neo Sartania and Nahad's secession from Aenilia*
Also, I wanted to comment on this.
Tournament Announced (38 minutes ago)
Kenshue Kazukin, Grand Exemplar of Greater Aenilia has announced a tournament of Joust and Swordfight to be held in Nahad 6 days from now.
The winner will be rewarded with 400 gold in addition to the honour and prestige that his victory will earn him. There will also be a reward of 100 gold for the second best.
All nobles of the continent are welcome on the tournament grounds on the day of this event. Make sure you announce your participation in time.
Your hopes may be crushed 
Arya's had a good thousand gold or so for a while and wanted to contribute to
something. Sorry to crush your dreams, but I didn't feel like filling up the family coffers, and aside from a couple of costs, pretty much funded that out of boredom.
Besides, aren't tournaments a good place to make enemies and stir some stuff up in the Far East? *nudge* *nudge* *wink* *wink*
