1317
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.

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.

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.
1324
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.
