Last Year's Events: The Thyatians
established the Barony of Canium on the Isle of the Dogs, in order to expand
their influence, mostly through economic dominance, in the Norwold region. The barony successfully repelled an attack
by Ersenbal, and its presence was acknowledged by the Heldannic Knights and
Alpha, and by the petty dominions near Oceansend. The barony began a process of establishing trade agreements with
several regional dominions, small and large, and of influencing others.
