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.)
Clyffen Mission is granted greater rights within the Hernoldfen dynasty's Merrod and more funding in exchange for amped up interdiction against Plains raiders.
Mission master Helmuk begins launching his own raids against Plains Region settlements. The raids are vicious with bloodthirsty Clyffenmen murdering and pillaging the Plains settlements they encounter.
The Jorfen Clyffen Learning Center adjusts the teaching to funnel students down a militaristic path, influencing many to travel and join Clyffen Mission.
Mission master Helmuk authorizes a new mission charter, granting even greater individual powers and control to Mission Keepers. This frees up more mission resources on paper, but ultimately has the opposite affect in practice because Mission Keepers begin using Mission resources and manpower for their own purposes, such as building improvements and fortifications on their own tendered lands, rather than on the land the mission is responsible for defending.
Land south of Garien Stretch is granted to new Mission Keepers, who in turn grant uncontrolled lands farther south to their own loyal Egumen and Clyffenmen.
Clyffen Mission Keepers begin deploying their own mission forces south into the Plains to capture lands promised to their supporters.
With less Clyffen Mission attention being paid east to defending Tonful's Shadow from Plains raiders due to the mission's minor invasions being conducted south of Garien Stretch and deep penetration raids into the Plains Region, Plains raiders wreak havoc on mining communities along Tonful's Shadow.
Mission master Helmuk meets with representatives of the Hernoldfen dynasty and convinces them that the lapse in protection along Tonful's Shadow is due to a greater need for resources and funding, something Helmuk truly believes in because he is mostly unaware of the Mission Keepers' costly private wars.
The Hernoldfen dynasty increases support of Clyffen Mission, convinced by Helmuk's diplomatic explanations.
Myron I is born, son of Ferrund.
Ferrund travels from the Urtold Valley into the Dannap Passages leading an army of Northmen for Kirtuck Ironhearth.
Mission master Helmuk dies at Clyffen Mission.
Clyffen Mission elects Mission Keeper Gulmon Dor Haulk as the new Mission Master.
Ferrund engages Midland King Anhurst's army and defeats them.
Kirtuck Ironhearth negotiates peace with Anhurst.
Errferrund is born, daughter of Ferrund.
Ferrund takes the name Ferrund the Tall, offered by the Northmen he lead to battle for Kirtuck Ironhearth and travels with a group of 600-800 through the Midlands into the Cander Woods.
Errferrund dies as a baby in the Tortund Valley.
