Varied region of mountains and valleys and rivers and forests...
1260
Casot sets out towards Merrod to find the six Prophets.
1271
Helmuk is born. He is the forth son to a prominent warlord in Merrod, stationed at Cremton Hold along the Swat.
1272
Around this time, Clyffen begins converting to the Mother and Her Six Prophets from the Pantheon. Few people from Urfall believed in the Mother during Clyffen's youth. The Pantheon had a strong grip on the Lowlands. Merrod had a decent mix of religions and beliefs, but the Mother and Her Six prophets had by this time gained a strong, if small, following in the south.
1287
Gennor hears news of mercenary work in the north, understanding it to be for some king sponsored religious sanctuary, and travels towards Merrod.
1289
Gennor travels north into Merrod.

1298
Clyffen dispatches men from his mission to act as defensive units to protect the new Merrod mining establishments from Plains raiders.
1301
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.
1319
Clyffen Mission is granted greater rights within the Hernoldfen dynasty's Merrod and more funding in exchange for amped up interdiction against Plains raiders.
1335
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.
1340
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.
1341
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.
1349
Civil and inter-dynasty conflict erupts in Hernoldfen Merrod.
Support to Clyffen Mission from Merrod falters. With the Lowlands threat to Merrod effectively pacified, the Merrod Region turns on itself with various Hernoldfen dynasty members attempting to reign in full control and new lords vying for power.
Clyffen Mission stops maintaining several key missions and schools in the Plains region, unable to keep up with the overhead costs in the face of dwindling financial support from Merrod.
