1404
Fenwin leads an expedition to the Havrik Islands. He travels down the Errfulfel River from Errfulfel City and across the Trepid Inlet to Delco where they briefly pause to prepare for the bulk of the intercontinental journey. His son Pavel travels with him.
Fenwin's Havrik expedition continues from Delco to Gent then across the Ganmek Ocean destined for Fenmol Shrek. The ships end up astray from the intended course, barely making it across the Kerfey Sea before running out of supplies and arriving at Jornmul Island. The expedition continues on to Dollean and then finally to the Havriks.
Fenwin establishes a small ship base on the northern tip of Big Havrik but finds trading less than satisfactory. The complete lack of local infrastructure or a cohesive societal organization prevents large scale goods procurement.
Native Big Havrik tribes force Fenwin off the island. Without proper supplies for the full return voyage Fenwin is forced to direct the expedition to Dollean.

Fenwin has a bastard child on Dollean. The mother names him Fenwin.
1406
Fenwin, finally with the supplies to return home to Errfulfel, leaves Dollean. His one remaining ship (after selling off the others) sails north to Fenmol Shrek then to Dos Tuln. He crosses the Ganmek Ocean to the north Tendril coast, making a quick detour to Elnerd Mel Hauk for fresh supplies where they also take on Kergin, Anya, and Ilanya as paying passengers and laborers. Resupplied, Fenwin's ship makes the long journey back south, briefly stopping at Gent before continuing all the way to Delco and finally up the Errfulfel River to Errfulfel City. Kergin, Anya, and Ilanya do not disembark at all at Gent and take leave from the ship at Delco.
Fenwin's Havrik expedition is recorded as a failure. No substantial trade goods were brought back at the full expense of ships, men, and supplies.

Fenwin is tasked with a new expedition to the Havrik Islands. He takes four ships with an extra 50 soldiers on each. He travels from Errfulfel City to Delco, Gent, Elnerd Mel Hauk, Urn Tuln Visok, Jornmul, Dollean, and finally Big Havrik.
With a substantial military force (200 soldiers supplementing the 400 sailors), Prince Fenwin is received differently at Big Havrik than the last time around.
Fenwin establishes a mission on Big Havrik devoted to Mother Egu's tenets. The mission consists of a main hall, a learning center, a yard, and three dormitories surrounded by a low wall.
1409
Fenwin sends a single ship to the Mersur Islands to establish Havrik Temple, devoted to the Pantheon. The temple is simple and unspectacular; a single room with crudely carved statues.
Fenwin returns to Errfulfel City from Big Havrik by way of Fenmol Shrek, Gent and Delco.
Fenwin arrives in Errfulfel City with Jaxillian slaves, Havrik spices, rubies, silver, and exotic fish. The expedition is considered a moderate success. Havrik is essentially given up on as a reasonable major trade center. The only truly valuable tradegood available on Havrik are rubies, but they are scarce and not worth the long and expensive journey to acquire.
Cyfurrel builds a special holding pool for Fenwin's Havrik fish in a central plaza in Errfulfel City.

Cyfurrel agrees to only mediate the situation between Prince Fenwin and King Hollwick if Jauford Hollwick surrenders Vesop to Fenwin - otherwise he will let them fight it out as they see fit. Cyfurrel stands by his promise to assure the Hollwick line control of Greyfield, but refuses to make any such promise regarding Vesop.
