[quote=@Jotunn Draugr] Suppose we met once on the battlefield, and the fight was inconclusive, with both sides walking away with heavy losses? From which point, we pursued territory elsewhere, out of mutual respect, and a desire to not waste military resources when there are easier targets around. How's that sound? Haha sounds good. Honorifics always work well in these kinds of settings. I'm thinking of simply going by "The Man of Stone", cold, unchanging, and difficult to break.

It's possible their respective expansion has just so far not resulted in either nation meeting until the beginning of the RP.
