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.
Spring triples Ferrund the Tall's force of northmen to greater than 2000.
Yfren is born in the Cander Woods, daughter of Ferrund.
Mission Master Gulmon Dor Haulk dies.
Clyffen Mission elects Tyrhen Dul-Hyvak as Mission Master.
Rey is born. Son of Ferrund.
Mission Master Tyrhen Dul-Hyvak reorganizes many of Clyffen Mission's functions and operations, putting greater focus back on Mother Egu and Clyffen's teachings.
Ferrund the Tall, fueled by Northmen seeking adventure, battle, and a way to support families back home in the Tortund Valley, leads his force from the Cander Woods deeper into the Drap Expanse, towards the Callouse Marshes.
Mission Master Tyrhen Dul-Hyvak launches a campaign into the Plains Region leading a host of troops out of Clyffen Mission.
Clyffen Mission acts to purify the godless Plains (Despite the fact the Pantheon is widely practiced in the region) and spread Mother Egu and the Six Prophets' tenets. The Hernoldfen dynasty supports the campaign financially as a means of developing a Clyffen Mission buffer border between their own Merrod holdings and the Plains.
The north of the Plains Region falls quickly to the rapidly expanding Clyffen Mission.
Mission Master Tyrhen Dul-Hyvak extends Clyffen Mission's control from Tonful Serpent in the west to the origin of the Ansel River in the east. Plains nomads and rulers are forced south away from the invasion forces.
Mission Master Tyrhen Dul-Hyvak resists demands to hand lands over to Mission Keepers, only doing so sparingly. Large swaths of lands in the Plains Region are granted to Stewards for purely administrative purposes with the goal of extending Mother Egu's reach.
School and missions are funded by Clyffen Mission in the north of the Plains Region.
Mission master Tyrhen Dul-Hyvak pushes Clyffen Mission's influence hard to the south west, capturing lands reaching the Delmer Woods.
Dozens more schools and missions are established in the Plains Region by Clyffen Mission.
Mission Keepers find the Plains region less desirable than expected due to the nomadic tendencies of the existing population. Utilizing local labor to tend fields and lands becomes increasingly difficult and re-populating the area proves to be a very slow affair.
Mission Master Tyrhen Dul-Hyvak, at the urging of Mission Keepers and the Hernoldfen dynasty, turns his attention to the north. With the Plains raid threat pacified, the Merrod lords want the growing Lowlands threat to be concentrated against Clyffen Mission rather than their own interests; Mission Keepers also eagerly eye the Lowlands lands as more easily settled than the Plains Region.
Clyffen Mission launches a permanent invasion force against the Lowlands to extend Mother Egu's influence in the strong Pantheon area. Clyffen's teachings are prominently recited, with Clyffen's blatant bias against the Lowlands from his lifetime experiences there.
Ferrund takes control of an area spanning as far north as Teshren, east into Penbrooke, south to the South Wood, and west to the edge of the Callouse Marshes.
Eager recruits flock to Clyffen Mission for fame and glory... and promise of land and wealth from Mission keepers. Promises of fast track promotions to Clyffenman and Eguman rank and land deals attract many missionaries to fight for Clyffen Mission in the Lowlands. The mass amounts of wealth provided to the Mission keepers from the Hernoldfen Merrod is redistributed to Missionaries that prove themselves in battle. Nobody farmers are able to escape their masters in distant lands, make the long trek to Clyffen Mission, and be wealthy land owning Egumen within months after surviving only a couple of battles at most. Those that do not survive are inexpensive to the Mission. Mother Egu and Clyffen's teachings often take second place to rank advancement and financial compensation. Many Lowlands lords find it more profitable to give up lands to the Mission Keepers in exchange for payment (or perhaps even rank within the Mission) than to fight to hold them. The Mission Keepers are being flooded with money and resources from the east and as long as they continue to use it expanding the buffer between hostile Lowland kingdoms and Merrod, as well as extending Mother Egu's reach, the money will keep coming.
