Editing Dolsia (section)

=== International Relations ===
Dolsia has a history of seclusion. They were ousted from their homes once and lost many of their people: the survivors sought to ensure that would never happen again. The spectre that, someday, someone would come to finish what had been started loomed large over the country, and thus, for a long time, Dolsians fled at the sight of any others. Many neighboring communities have only legends of caelian sightings. Most entrances to Dolsia remain hidden to this day, but in recent times, more and more Dolsians are opening their doors. The people tire of living in scarcity. 

=====[[Coronus]]=====
Dolsia still greatly fears Coronus, and time has not faded their grudge. Ignii are avoided, and many Dolsian merchants will spurn and curse Coric goods. There are, every so often, whispers of particularly warlike caelians who've gone to the peaks of Coronus, or particularly humble ignii who've come to Dolsia, but these cases are few and far between.

In places where the countries meet, however, relations are more amenable. Many Coric ignii have lost their territorial fervor and don't mind Dolsian guests, and Dolsians who dare to spend time among them learn they aren't so frightening.
=====[[Eniya]]=====
Eniya and Dolsia are fostering a young but positive relationship. The Eniyan desert is large, harsh, and unforgiving, separating the two countries rather firmly. Mix this with Dolsia's seclusion, and they have had little historical interaction. However, things have been changing recently. Particularly those who live in the plateaus, where the desert poses less of an obstacle, have been meeting and trading with Dolsians. Dolsians typically consider Eniyans to be curious and gregarious, and Eniyans often consider Dolsians to be generous and resourceful. One unfortunate effect of their lack of contact for so long a time is that many Eniyans remain under the mistaken assumption that most Dolsians can fly.
=====[[Olitskur]]=====
Olitskur and Dolsia have no contact. Unless a given Dolsian has taken up interest in the outside world or interacts heavily with outsiders, most Dolsians don't know that Olitskur or ianthina exist. (However, there is rumor of fish people sighted near the Salted Sea...)
===== [[Sayil]]=====
Sayil and Dolsia are very closely allied; they have a long history together. Dolsia was already established during the birth of the young nation, and provided assistance and support where and when they could. Sayil's founding ideals of peace are an aspiration Dolsia would also like to see come to fruition, even if most Dolsians lack the optimism common in Sayil. The two countries trade heavily: Sayilans provide plant life, lumber, and fiber, and Dolsia provides stone, metal, and minerals. 
=====[[Theriad Caravans]] =====
Dolsia has close economic ties to the various theriad groups, but socially, a pervasive tension remains. As the Heartstone Road circles the Coronus Mountains, more theriads know entrances to Dolsia than any other group. This paired with the theriad lack of a homeland means that suspicion that one of these groups might, one day, want to take Dolsia for themselves thrives, particularly among the oldest families. On the more positive end, Dolsians also consider theriads to be very knowledgeable about both magic (from their interactions with Kimarel) and world events (from their many travels).
