Last Year's Events: Political marriages into other Modrigswerg clans followed by the
opening of trade resulted in an alliance, allowing Throfar to become a force
within Ostland and be officially recognised as a jarl. Throfar convinced King Finn to allow raids
into Vestland in retribution for that kingdom's offensive against its
Modrigswerg population.
