Updates for the years 1013 and
1014 AC: Since the Isle of Dawn Treaty has been put in effect,
all Thyatian officials and troops have been removed from the isle
(they were either sent to Aegos or back to mainland Thyatis). The
capital of Paganica has since been a ghost town, as has been
Rainbow Park.
After the departure of the Thyatians, the petty barons that had
been granted dominions by Eusebius have fought over the land,
trying to become the undisputed rulers of the whole isle.
Intrigues, plots, assassinations, wars, alliances, betrayals are
all common. Trade is nearly nonexistent, and famine is also feared
because crops have been destroyed in many places. The country is in
a complete state of chaos and anarchy, but Thyatis and the NACE
don't want to intervene and break the treaty for such an
unimportant land. Ne'er-do-well's thieves, however, may find that
the isle suits their needs, and may help a baron of their choice by
smuggling weapons for him, in exchange for the right to use the
isle as another haven for their piratical activities.
