"They are at constant war with the Luxons due to the struggle for the scarce and precious Amber and Jade solidified at the time of the Jade Wind."
They are at constant war with the Kurzicks due to ancient unexplained hatred and the desire over the scarce and precious Amber and Jade that was solidified from the Jade Wind.

O
The Kurzick/Luxon war only seems stupid when looking from the outside in. Regardless of which side you grew up on the Jade Quarry I don't think you'd be too happy that the people on your border were taking your resources, discrediting your national hero and were getting away with outlandish dress sense.
Added to that prejudice you would have grown up with the Emperor of Cantha keeping both sides in a constant stalemate to ensure neither gains supremecy and threatens stability within the empire. If that wasn't enough, the entire thing was orchestrated by a god. The tree-huggers and neuvo hobboes didn't stand a chance.
Apart from a god getting involved you don't have to look too far to find real life examples.

There's even more to the story than that, actually.
The two sides first started hating each other when the Canthan empire subjugated the Kurzicks and employed them to help subjugate the Luxons. I forget where I read that, though.
But like any war, once it gets going, people forget the initial reasons (several NPCs note that the Kurzicks and Luxons probably forget the reasons they started fighting).

They argued over which of the heroes (Viktor and Archemorus) killed Shiro. Seriously. They were fighting before that, and as others have pointed out, there are resources at stake here, particularly after the Jade Wind petrified the entire area.

Hmm... I thought they were at peace. Looking at various articles though, seems I was wrong.
In which case I retract my previous statement.
