Give them a deed which can only both of them solve
I had the problem a couple of months back. One of my players met an evil
guy, who is said to have wiped out his entire family. As a matter of fact
he realised, this one would kill him without problems as a result of a
strange, unknown blood abilities.
The other PC was confronted by this NPC as well. Both saw that the only
way to solve the problem is to kill him.
The NPC developed to a major enemy and forced all players to abandon
their personal quarrel and unite. Several friends of the players (yours
should have some as well) joined their new brotherhood "Weisser Sack" and
urged all players to swear the oaths (similar to the oaths of Khinasi
wizards).
I admit, I had a problem with an newcomer, who did not like the
brotherhood, in our group afterwards. A new quarrel started, this time
between the players (not the characters). We kicked the new one out.

Make other regents react on this... Tell me, which regent of a powerful
domain would discuss diplomatic matters with an chaotic man, trade or
ally with him, trust or help him? He would rather use him.
Let the mighty neighbour contact the priest and emphasize that he is
anxious about the doings of the other PCs. Perhaps he mentions that he is
going to stop diplomatic actions if the situation does not improve.
Let neighbours declare war on them after proclaiming that they do not
accept this chaos as people do not identify with their leader any more
Perhaps subtract RPs of the chaotic regents, drop loyalty of the
provinces or decrease holding levels as people do not identify with their
leader any more.
The outcome of the whole thing should be fun, if your players love to
kill each other let them do it.

Here's something you might try. Have a much more evil NPC do something
terrible to both the half-elf and Brecht (an evil priest would do
nicely--perhaps Kriesha?) Stealing some of their hard-earned stuff should get
their attention! They will probably need to turn to their own priest for
protection/knowledge/advice.
In short, provide them with a reason to see why their own squabble is minor in
comparison with the grand scheme.
Or : Let one kill the other, and then have the murderer rot in jail after
getting caught. And you, the DM can catch them. Their next characters will
likely ge along better.
