Moer Hernoldfen (1229-1287,58)
Father: N/A Mother: N/A
Ruler of Elnock, Lernon and most of the Tonful Valley. Origin of the Hernoldfen dynasty.
1273
Clyffen becomes a courtier for the ruler of Elnock, Moer Hernoldfen, who at this time controls most of the Tonful Valley, down to Lernon.
1274
Moer Hernoldfen takes notice of Clyffen's knowledge of Egu.
Moer Hernoldfen begins attending some of Clyffen's court sermons about Egu.
1275
Moer Hernoldfen attributes a great victory in a civil war battle to Clyffen's words on Egu and hires Clyffen as a religious and moral tutor for his grandchildren.
1279
Moer Hernoldfen grants Clyffen a span of land south of Elnock and resources to build a temple to spread the word of Egu.
1281
Helmuk is found a couple miles from Lernon by a Herndolfen patrol. The patrol takes the boy in, feeding him and bring him with them until the reach Lernon where they drop him off at a Pantheon Temple.
1282
Moer Hernoldfen's nephew captures Jorfen.
Clyffen, still with vast unused resources bestowed on him by Moer Hernoldfen three years prior, moves to Jorfen and builds a new learning center to spread the frontier of Mother Egu's reach, knowing the Plains and Lowlands are essentially devoid of Mother Egu's tenets.
1286
Clyffen recognizes an overlap of influence between his two learning centers and pushes the boundary of his influence west, to Tonful Serpent, and builds a religious mission there. The location is not within friendly lands. The Hernoldfen dynasty provides him with renewed resources and wealth to establish the mission. Many mercenaries are hired out of foreign lands to garrison the mission.
1287
Moer Hernoldfen dies.
Clyffen is named in Moer Hernoldfen's will to receive a large amount of monetary wealth to continue spreading Mother's tenets.
Clyffen invests nearly all of the wealth inherited from Moer into his mission along Tonful Serpent.
1288
Clyffen travels to his learning centers in an attempt to secure positive relations with the new ruling lords (following Hernoldfen's death) and to keep the learning centers running properly. Helmuk participates in the travels.
1301
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.
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.
1317
Mission master Helmuk is called to Jorfen to renegotiate the terms of Clyffen Mission's relationship with the Hernoldfen dynasty.
1318
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.)
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.
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.
The Hernoldfen dynasty increases support of Clyffen Mission, convinced by Helmuk's diplomatic explanations.
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.
