The Lovers' Conflict occurred when Sharene and Lodos, the two moons belonging to Elrood, found themselves positioned on opposing sides of the celestial sphere. This alignment correlated with a rise in violent criminal activity on Elrood, potentially stemming from biological, psychological, or yet-undetermined causes. Conversely, The Lovers' Embrace represented a comparable phenomenon on Elrood, and the artwork called "The Lovers' Dilemma" was exhibited on that very world.
