Political Tensions, Alliances, and Conflicts

Part of: Zarahemla’s Age of War

• The Zoramites, hostile towards the Nephites who accepted their converts, merge with the Lamanites and prepare for a military strike.
• The militants centralize in the Zoramite city of Antionum, and are led by a man named Zerahemnah.
• The Nephites hoped for nothing more than to fight for their rights and freedoms.
• The political tensions were based on the conversion of the Ammonites and Zoramites, and the fact that the Nephites harbored them despite Lamanite wishes.
• The Lamanite army, centralized in Antionum, finishes preparations for their strike and advance to the evacuated Ammonite city of Jershon.
