During one of many standard short expeditions across Tonful Serpent to preach, Clyffen and his men are intercepted by Lowlands troops and taken captive.
Gennor participates in many more preaching drives in the Merrod Region.
Word of Clyffen's capture reaches the Jorfen Clyffen Learning Center.
Gennor travels to Clyffen Mission, joining their ranks. He trades in the comforts of the urban Jorfen Learning Center for the frontier at the Mission with the hopes of not only helping to spread Mother Egu's tenets in the region, but also to aid in the rescue of Clyffen.
Gennor finds life at Clyffen Mission to be rugged and difficult. The absence of the mission leader Clyffen leaves the place like a snake without a head. The appointed keepers are disorganized and unable to cooperate.
Gennor begins delivering daily sermons in the mission yard to remind everyone why they are there.
Gennor's sermons really take off. He is eventually able to summon a number of teachers from the Jorfen learning Center to aid in the delivery, providing morning, afternoon, and night sermons.
Helmuk returns to Clyffen Mission in response to Gennor's call for aid, and begins delivering sermons and teaching many of the mercenary missionaries.
Helmuk declines weapons training with his old mates but offers to teach the pen in turn... few accept.
Gennor joins a mission keeper's impromptu scout force to travel north into the Lowlands and seek information on Clyffen's whereabouts.
Disappointed with the leadership and control of the mission keeper on his first expedition into the Lowlands, Gennor gathers his own group of volunteers and travels north.
Gennor's group capture and kill many Lowlands people while gathering information on Clyffen's confinement.
Gennor leads a second group into the Lowlands, capturing three family members of an important Lowlands figure.
Clyffen Mission negotiate Clyffen's release with his Lowlands captors.
Gennor leads the group to drop his captives back in the Lowlands in exchange for Clyffen. Clyffen is released and returns to the mission.
Gennor is recognized by Clyffen for his outstanding service and is officially put in charge of the mission's self education.
Gennor returns his main focus to delivering daily sermons at the mission.
King Urfen Gall III begins moving all that is the city of Jakaro southwest to the location of the former city Ershro, now dubbed New jakaro.
Merrod troops out of Jorfen massacre many along the foot of Tonful's Shadow, establishing a domain spreading west and taking much valuable mining land.
Clyffen dispatches men from his mission to act as defensive units to protect the new Merrod mining establishments from Plains raiders.
Gennor is sent to protect Tonful Shadow mines- due to his experience in Donwick protecting woodcutting camps and his familiarity with the Tonful Shadow area from his preaching drives.
Clyffen commits suicide at Clyffen Mission.
The men at Clyffen Mission continue to maintain the location and bury Clyffen on the grounds.
The Clyffen Mission Keepers recall all of the mission men back to the mission.
Gennor returns to Clyffen Mission from his post at Tonful's Shadow in response to the mission summons.
The mission keepers elect Gennor of Donwick as the new ruler of Clyffen Mission.
Gennor and the mission keepers reorganize the mission command structure, placing less 'absolute' power in the ruler and more towards the upper ranks of the mission.
Clyffen Mission establishes a defined rank system: Missionary, Clyffenman, Eguman (Man of Egu), Mission Keeper, and Mission Master. The majority of the members of the mission fall into the militaristic category of Clyffenmen. The Mission Keepers are enthusiastic about the system because they get more individual power, while Gennor likes the changes because they address the snake without a head situation seen when Clyffen was held captive in the Lowlands.
Helmuk is given the rank of Eguman initially, but quickly is advanced to Mission Keeper to be in charge of Clyffen Mission's self education (Gennor's previous duty).
Ruling members of the Hernoldfen dynasty unite the Tonful Valley and Merrod River Valley for collective economic gain and military defense.
Mission Master Gennor rejects submitting to the newly united Hernoldfen dynasty, but manages to maintain a mutual relationship. Clyffen Mission continues defending Merrod mining interests along Tonful's Shadow in exchange for monetary benefits and special access to resources.
Helmuk resigns his rank of Mission Keeper in response to persecution form other older Mission Keepers and Egumen.
Helmuk continues teaching within the Mission.
The Clyffen Learning Centers in Elnock and Jorfen fall under the jurisdiction and command of the local Hernoldfen dynasty lords. They continue spreading Clyffen's teachings but in a nationalistically perverted way.
Ferrund is born.
Helmuk is elected as a Mission Keeper again, and placed in charge of the Mission's self education, again.
Helmuk establishes mandatory daily class sessions for all Missionaries and Clyffenmen. The power of the Egumen and other Mission Keepers was too great and their protests too strong to include them int he mandatory attendance, even with Mission Master Gennor's support.
New jakaro is officially renamed King Gall Port by King Urfen Gall III.
Helmuk travels to Jorfen where he recruits new Clyffenmen to travel to mining camps along Tonful's Shadow and act as teachers for the Missionaries and Clyffen,en stationed there.
Helmuk takes charge of the diplomatic relations between Clyffen Mission and Jorfen, traveling between the locations frequently.
Mission Master Gennor attempts to oust several Mission keepers that have an obvious lack of care or belief in Mother Egu. His measures fail.
Mission Keepers lose faith in Gennor following the unrest caused by his attempted removal of many Keepers.
Mission master Gennor's control over the Mission Keepers reaches a near non-existent state.
Mission Master Gennor resigns his position at Clyffen Mission.
Mission Keeper Helmuk is elected Mission Master.
Mission Master Helmuk begins to expand the living spaces at Clyffen Mission, vastly improving the living conditions.
Clyffen Mission captures and controls much of the Garien Stretch to prevent Lowlands raiders from accessing the Tonful's Shadows mining population, allowing better focus to be placed on defending the operations from Plains raiders tot he south.
Mission Master Helmuk authorizes lands in Garien Stretch to be distributed to Mission keepers as tenders. Clyffen Mission retains ownership on paper with the operator labeled as Steward. This greatly decreases the overhead of the Mission while maintaining control of the area since the cost of defense of the land is delegated to the Steward. The Stewards work the land to generate funding for the defense, while also making some personal profit.
Mission master Helmuk is called to Jorfen to renegotiate the terms of Clyffen Mission's relationship with the Hernoldfen dynasty.
Plains raiders sack Haffa.
Plains raiders come close to sacking Jorfen, but are turned back by a last minute mercenary force hired by the Hernoldfen dynasty. (Many of the mercenaries happen to be moonlighting Clyffen Mission Clyffenmen.)
